In today’s medical revolution and the era of
evidence-based medicine, we have all the good reasons to provide you
with excellent medical
services that adhere to Medical International Standards
and won’t stop at the traditional methods.
At the Clinic we work very hard to
provide modern and excellent services. Services like genetic testing to
compose the individual genetic
profile that helps us determine patient characteristics,
and risk factors, which will lead to steps to life style changes and
hence
to prevention. To achieve this, we coordinate with
highly specialized medical labs around the world.
We have proudly introduced
"Documentation Based Care (DBC)" to Jordanian health care; DBC is the
most successful system used in the treatment
of chronic back-pain; such cases have failed to be
treated using other methods.
1. Consultations:
Over 25 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.
2. 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
Gym Unit
3. 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.
4. 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:
a. Gather information
about medical case & history
b. 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
c. 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.
d. 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
5. 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*.
6. 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*.
7. 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.
8. Supporting Services:
a. 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.
b. 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).
