There is a strong tradition of Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy in Germany. Rehabilitation has been a focus of medical research and practice since the middle of the 19th century.
Our general philosophy on rehabilitation: Excellent surgery only lays the foundation for a complete recovery. The extent of recovery and the lasting benefit for the patient is dependent on qualified, dedicated and specialised rehabilitation.
wIRA ZRT®-Matrix-Therapy with water filtered infrared is an established principle in rehabilitation. © www.joint-surgeon.comThe use of heat is a long, well established tradition in physical therapy. However an effective step forward in the use of local heat therapy, was achieved by the development of modern biophysics.
The natural heat source of the sun was used as the basis for this therapy. The infrared radiation from the sun, is filtered on it’s way to the ground, by the water vapor in the atmosphere. This natural filtering system was a model for the development of a therapeutically useful treatment device.
Within the spinal cord, the PASHA® Electrode (EPRF electrode) is navigated to the pain-triggering site with the aid of a screen. © omar-pasha.com
The PASHA®-catheter is a minimally invasive pain therapy. It is performed by an electromagnetic effect on the pain signal conduction inside the nerve fibres in the spinal cord (neuromodulation). Pain therapy with the PASHA® catheter is a minimally invasive treatment that is performed through an epidural needle: The electromagnetic treatment with a duration of 4-7 min results in a lasting moderation of the physiological pain signal transduction in the spina. The effect of the neuromodulation treatment with the PASHA®-electrode lasts for up to 2 years. The electrode is fixed at the end of a flexible plastic tube (catheter). This electrode can be navigated through the spine while controlling the position with x-ray vision. This initially invasive pain therapy is also called "Epidural pulsed radio frequency therapy" (EPRF). The popular name for this EPRF therapy (PASHA®-catheter) is after the inventor of this procedure, the German neurosurgeon Dr Omar Pasha.
