What are the indications for neuromodulation?

tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation)

was initially used in the treatment of

  • Neurodegenerative diseases such as Dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke rehabilitation and Migraines

  • Psychiatric disorders like PTSD, Depression, Learning Disabilities, Addiction, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD)

In recent years, neuromodulation has increasingly gained importance in other medical areas, extending far beyond these traditional fields of application.

Neuromodulation can also be successfully used for

  • Chronic pain conditions (such as Fibromyalgia, Polyarthritis, Systemic Inflammatory Diseases, Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), chronic post-operative Pain)

  • Functional and Somatoform Disorders: Stress, Burnout, Sleep disorders (Insomnia), PTSD, Chronic Fatigue, ME/CFS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS),

  • Autoimmune Diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, Sjögren's syndrome...),

  • Post-Infection Syndrome (PIS), Sequelae of Infectious Origin (SIO):  Post-infectious viral, post-vaccination conditions (EBV, CMC, HSV / VZV, Long Covid, Post-vaccine syndrome).

Neuromodulation in sports medicine and musculoskeletal systems

The use of neuromodulative techniques in sports science and neuroscience has become increasingly important in recent years.

 

Neuroplasticity is a key element in developing new, functional skills for amateur and professional athletes.

 

Neuromodulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and neurofeedback training (NFT) utilize neuroplasticity to enhance performance in sports medicine.

 

tDCS enhances muscle strength, motor skills, endurance, and motor learning, while NFT improves attention control and emotional regulation in precision sports.

These methods are increasingly integrated into training programs to optimize athletes' physical and cognitive performance.

 

Numerous high-quality studies in disciplines such as endurance sports, martial arts, gymnastics, shooting sports, ball sports (soccer, basketball, golf), and motorsport document significant performance improvements in areas such as:

  • Performance improvement and efficiency enhancement

  • Improvement of motor skills, reaction times, coordination, stress management

  • Concentration, mental focus, precision, learning, and applying new routines

 

Nissan uses the "Brain to Performance" program in Formula E, which improves drivers' cognitive functions like decision-making, stress resilience, and reaction times through neuromodulation and could also be applied in other sports

 

By optimizing the available resources, strength and endurance are indirectly influenced. 

This results in increased effectiveness without affecting endurance performance itself. 

Strength and endurance training remain the building blocks of any targeted training.

A dual approach

combining peripheral-structural manual therapy

  • FDM: Fascial Distortion Model, MM manual medicine, chiropractic,

  • FMD: functional myodiagnostics, OM Orthomolecular Medicine ... with

Central neuromodulation through tDCS and pAVNS...

  • for all acute and chronic injuries, postoperative conditions with unsatisfactory healing outcomes,

  • acute and chronic pain conditions and stress on the musculoskeletal system.

This often leads to a rapid significant reduction in pain and improvement in function. Additionally, a markedly enhanced regeneration can lead to a faster reintegration into daily sports and professional activities.

Is the issue in the tissue, or does it originate from the brain?

Patients will guide us and we are prepared to treat them in both ways.
