Over 30 years experience in case diagnosis to determine the level of disability and motor functionality. We use systematic & scientific approach to correctly diagnose the cases in our clinic. A rehabilitation program is then constructed to every individual need based on the initial assessment performed.
- Physiotherapy:
Physiotherapy is one of the rehabilitation medicine branches; it aims to restore patients to their normal daily life after an accident or an injury or after a loss of one of their body parts. Many methods are used in that process like Thermo Therapy (Heat/Cold Treatments), Therapeutic Exercises, Electrotherapy, Therapeutic Massage, and Hydrotherapy. We are able to treat many cases using these methods. Other cases are also treated like heart & lung diseases, and many forms of Paralysis, and Urinary Incontinence and muscle weakness. Physiotherapy is also important to patients with body parts amputations and joint replacement. Pregnant ladies can also benefit from these services in Pre/Post natal (Delivery) programs.
ICPMR has the following units:
Electrotherapy Unit
Hydrotherapy & Wellness Unit
DBC Unit
- Occupational Therapy:
Occupational Therapy is one of the rehabilitation medicine branches; it aims to improve patient’s quality of life through life style changes & activities. Our therapist’s main goal is to improve the capabilities of individuals who suffer from any kind of disability, whether it’s psychological, physical, or cognitive disability. The treatment is designed to help the individual to participate in physical activities or simply go on their daily routine as independent as possible. Part of achieving this is by improving ones’ environment, or by enhancing adjustment tolerance. Our therapists make a fully customized treatment based on patient’s abilities and the factors mentioned earlier.
ICPMR has 2 Occupational Therapy units for both Adult and child rehabilitation.
- Documentation Based Care – DBC:
International medical research for chronic neck & back pain has found that the best way to treat this case is through Occupational restoration which is done in 2 steps:
Therapeutic exercises which strengthen and increase muscle tolerance.
Behavioral Modification to the medical condition: patients often suffer from anxiety, stress, and frustration along with chronic neck & back pain, also tends to forego any activity believing that it would make the case worse or increase pain. All of these false beliefs will result in weak muscles that cannot support the neck & back and consequently will increase pain.
Therefore; a new concept in treatment was developed for this case, based on Evidenced-Based Medicine which is now known as (Documentation Based Care – DBC): the treatment is customized to the individual’s medical, psychological, behavioral circumstances.
Our Process:
Medical Exam: The patient will receive a medical examination to determine the best approach for his case whether it’s a DBC-Program, Hydrotherapy or other treatment methods.
Initial Evaluation: Should the patient’s case is confirmed that it can be treated using DBC approach, and then a referral will be made to ICPMR (International center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation). At ICPMR will take the following steps in sequence:
- Gather information about medical case & history
- Gather Pain-related information about patient’s case. Pain is measured by duration, severity, & its location. Other information is taken about the nature of work performed that could be generating this pain
- Patient will go through range of motion measurements, those will give the therapists better understanding of how well the muscles, and joints are moving and what is the maximum stress points it can tolerate.
- Patient is then given a full report about the medical case
Constructing the Individual Therapy: Using all the information provided by patients in step 2, all data is then entered into our assessment software to produce and calculate the number of sessions needed, exercise level, range of motion degree to start with and target the specific muscles and joints safely and pain-free. During those sessions our therapists provide not only medical support but also psychological & behavioral support for patients. They also inform the patient with their progress and treatment status. Functional Therapeutic exercises are provided and would make the basis for Patient Home Exercise Programme.
Final Evaluation: After fulfilling treatment sessions, a final evaluation is made to compare it with the initial evaluation and an improvement percentage is calculated, this will boost patient’s enthusiasm to continue Home Exercise Programme. The patient also receives a detailed report about his treatment course to keep or give out to referring physician or insurance
Home Exercise Programme: A customized Home Exercise Programme is made for every patient individually, the exercises are chosen based on medical case, improvement shown at the ICPMR, the exercises are fully explained with indicating pictures
Result Analysis & Quality Assurance: All results from around the world are sent every six months to DBC Head Quarters in Finland Anonymously where experts analyze the sent results and draw medical conclusions
- Mesotherapy:
Mesotherapy was invented in France in the 1950’s.It was used often because it showed good results to treat pain, athletic injuries, and Anti-Cellulite. Mesotherapy consists of injecting medication into the fatty layer under the skin Meso using fine and short needles, where pain is located. The slow absorption of these medications allows the pain relief to last longer than normal pain killers. In our clinic, this technique is applied for acute & chronic pain only, and not for cosmetic purposes. Treatment consists of 1 session per week for a period of 3-5 weeks*.
- Shock-Wave-Therapy for the calcifications in muscles and ligaments:
Shock-Wave-Therapy is an advance therapeutic technique applied using highly advanced and modern devices that uses high frequency acoustics in different wave lengths. Those frequencies are directed toward local calcification whether it’s in muscles, ligaments, tendons, or around the joints. Which will fragment calcification, and increase blood supply in that location which will absorb that calcification
Other cases that can also be treated like Bone spurs in heals, or chronic calcification around shoulders and elbows, normally treatment takes from 3-6 sessions,1- 2 sessions per week*.
- Personalized Prevention:
It is said “An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor Away”, this was said to help promote awareness and prevention techniques. It is important to know “Prevention from what?” We can answer this question for you at the clinic through taking a blood sample or saliva, and run Genetic tests at our certified lab in Europe. Your will show the tendon case and relative risks as some in the diseases. Most of these diseases can be prevented and avoided by making lifestyle changes that will reduce the chance of getting sick.
All of these tests are done confidentially and with upmost secrecy.
- Supporting Services:
- Artificial Limbs and assistive Devices:
We perform a full assessment for patients with amputations, and prescribe the proper Artificial Limb. Those Artificial Limbs (prostheses) are then built in top certified workshops. Once we receive it, we will make sure it matches the international standards and to the requirements set for the individual need. Once the Artificial Limb is approved, we will then help the patient to use it.
Patients with Assitive Devices (Orthoses) needs also receive assistance with their equipment like: medical devices, or splints whether it’s for upper body part support, or lower limbs to improve walking mechanism or prevent deformities.
- Speech Disorders Treatment:
Although we don’t provide this service, but we can refer such cases to certified Speech pathology Centers in Jordan that provide these services. This is done either by providing you with an official, referral or by requesting a therapist to provide the session at our Center (ICPMR).
