The therapeutic tool kit used by Immumed practitioners to treat pain, be it in its manifestation and more importantly in its origin, ranges from the traditional, (classical and chinese osteopathy- zhenggu-tuina); (classical acupuncture and modern neurophysiological acupuncture - auricular medicine) to ultra-sophisticated computerized microcurrent therapies and state of the art fiber optic laser technologies.
Whether the pain is of neurological origin (headaches, sciatic), of inflammatory origin (bursitis, tendinitis, colitis) of hormonal origin (PMS, painful periods) of myofascial origin (fibromyalgia, rheumatism) of degenerative origin (degenerative disc disease, arthritis, arthrosis) of impingement origin (carpal tunnel, herniated disc), trauma induced origin (M.V.A- Sorts injuries) of immune origin (shingles, fibromyalgia), Immumed therapists have the tools, and most importantly the expertise to eliminate chronic inflammation and pain.
