Delta Radio debuts a new column focused on pain therapy, providing valuable information and advice on how to manage and treat various types of chronic pain.
Dr. Francesca Vlassich, head of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation at the Madonna della Salute nursing home in Porto Viro, discussed the importance of addressing chronic pain through a multidisciplinary approach. She emphasized the role of pharmacological treatments, physiotherapy, and other supportive therapies in managing pain effectively.
One of the most common issues affecting patients is spinal problems, particularly back pain. Dr. Vlassich highlighted the importance of staying active and maintaining toned muscles to support the spine, as well as the benefits of physical therapy and postural exercises in alleviating back pain.
Headaches were also discussed as a complex problem with various origins, making it challenging to treat effectively. Dr. Vlassich emphasized the importance of reducing the frequency of headache attacks and using appropriate drug therapy when necessary.
Lumbosciatica, a condition characterized by lower back pain radiating to the legs, was also addressed by Dr. Vlassich. She highlighted the use of ultrasound-guided infiltrations and minimally invasive interventions to alleviate pain and improve mobility for affected patients.
Overall, the column “Health at your side” aims to educate and inform listeners about different pain management strategies and treatments to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic pain.Listeners were encouraged to seek an antalgic visit with their general practitioner if they are experiencing chronic pain, in order to receive the necessary evaluation and treatment.
