Relieve pain
Make everyday activities easier
Improve muscle endurance
Normalise mobility and motor coordination
Increase range of movement and functional capacity

POST-OPERATIVE

The treatment start date must be determined on the basis of your medical assessment and provided that the post-operative course is favourable (condition of the tissues, etc.).

Prescription rules

DAVID HEALTH codes cannot be combined on the same prescription. Separate prescriptions must be issued for each prescription code, as the treatments cannot be administered simultaneously.
For DAVID HEALTH "Shoulders", the prescription must specify whether the right or left shoulder is concerned.
Following the INITIAL treatment and if necessary, you may prescribe a MAINTENANCE cycle for the patient.
