Pain Medicine is responsible for understanding and studying the mechanism underlying patient pain.

The concept

Sports Medicine is responsible for understanding and studying sports performance under a scientific assessment. Sports injuries are commonly caused by direct impact, overuse or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand. Bruises, sprains, strains and joint injuries are particularly common injuries in sports.

The specialist in sports medicine should prevent and treat sports injuries, adjust the exercises features to the patient, through a biomechanical assessment enhance the athlete performance and know the benefits and harms of certain sports.

Our medical team is all certified in sports medicine and has a lot of experience, having already worked in first division football clubs.

The concept

Stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications.

Often patients gets with sequelaes, like dysarthria, central facial palsy and loss of power or sensibility in the affected hemibody. Consequently, patients could get with less autonomy in daily living activities.

Researchers have found that people who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program perform better than most people who don't have stroke rehabilitation. The goal will be to help the patient relearn skills that he lost when a stroke affected part of his brain.

To achieve it, it is important to make an adjusted rehabilitation program to the patient composed of pharmacological treatment, physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, prescription of orthosis and support products, minimally invasive procedures, like botulinum toxin injection, and others.
