Medical Track has become recognized as the leading center for Advanced Comprehensive Physical Rehabilitation in Ecuador. This recognition stems from its wide range of services, including Physical, Cardiac, Respiratory, Pelvic, Neurological, Pediatric Rehabilitation, Hyperbaric Chambers, Sports Medicine, and Psychological Counseling. For 27 years, the main objective has been to improve the quality of life for our patients.

SERVICES

PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
This is the most recommended treatment by science for any illness or injury affecting the musculoskeletal system. It focuses on restoring all motor abilities of the patient to reintegrate them into normal life as quickly as possible. It uses various physical agents, therapeutic techniques, and exercises to restore functionality and movement to the human body.

Benefits:
Relieves pain, aids in recovery, and controls the progression of chronic or degenerative diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It increases flexibility, helps restore mobility in muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, or bones, strengthens the muscular system, and improves coordination and balance in patients at high risk of falls.


Manual Therapy
A specific technique that evaluates and treats pain and other symptoms caused by neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction. It includes a series of procedures focused on restoring joint and muscle movement. It centers on clinical reasoning related to spinal and limb dysfunctions.


Dry Needling
Poor work posture, sports activity, hobbies, or simply muscle tension can cause abnormal contractions that generate painful trigger points. These are palpable nodules within tight muscle bands.

Dry needling is a semi-invasive technique that uses acupuncture needles to treat these syndromes. The goal is to reduce pain, relax muscle tension, and normalize the biochemical and electrical dysfunctions of neuromuscular junctions. It is applied in acute or chronic cases such as headaches, neck or back pain, tendinitis, muscle spasms and strains, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, among others.


3D Postural Evaluations
A virtual program that quickly and efficiently measures body positioning and range of motion. It serves as a clinical diagnostic tool to assess spinal curvature angles such as scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, and hyperlordosis. It includes functional, static, and dynamic tests before starting physical therapy.


Shockwave Therapy
High-speed acoustic waves that accelerate collagen production and tissue regeneration (tendons, muscles, and soft tissues). It dissolves calcifications and treats chronic inflammation and pain.


Pressotherapy
A treatment that applies air pressure to different parts of the body to promote lymphatic drainage and venous return. It eliminates fluid retention, oxygenates tissues, restores skin elasticity, and promotes tissue regeneration. It also helps athletes recover after intense physical activity.

Benefits include:

  • Stimulates and improves blood circulation

  • Boosts immune system function

  • Enhances lymphatic flow to eliminate metabolic waste

  • Reduces cellulite caused by fat accumulation

  • Minimizes limb edema


HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)

This is a cellular oxygenation treatment conducted in a single-person sealed chamber where the patient breathes pure oxygen at high concentrations. Inside, the air pressure is 2.5 times higher than normal atmospheric pressure, allowing more oxygen to be carried by the blood to all organs and tissues, thus improving circulation. It is an adjunctive treatment for regenerative medicine.

FDA-approved therapeutic applications include:

  • Wound healing and diabetic ulcers (diabetic foot)

  • Radiation injuries, gangrene at risk of amputation

  • Severe anemia, brain abscesses, air embolism

  • Brain and nervous system edema

  • Bone healing in fractures

  • Decompression sickness (diving)

  • Open fractures with tissue crushing injuries

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning

  • Severe skin and bone infections with tissue death

  • Anaerobic or mixed bacterial infections

  • Skin grafts at risk of necrosis

  • Clostridial myonecrosis (gas gangrene)

  • Mandibular osteoradionecrosis

  • Sudden vision loss

  • Severe burns

  • Soft tissue radionecrosis (cystitis, actinic proctitis)

  • Intrathoracic hyperpressure syndrome (IHS)

  • Sudden deafness


Sports Area

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen levels in the body by up to three times, which helps prevent injuries, accelerates muscle recovery, and even improves sleep.
It also reduces stress caused by long and intense sports sessions.
