Annotation
Lectures will be focused to Over Using Syndrome problems. Besides that, there will be discussed pain treatment for patients with cancer. A significant room will be dedicated to electrotherapy, physiotherapy and phototherapy. Also healing processes, organ conservation methods and progressive surgery methods will be spoken about. Students will also gain many practical knowledge via labs.
