Dr. DaylinSaladrigas González, a first-degree specialist in this field and head of the program, emphasizes that this service applies various techniques from traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture, electroacupuncture, therapeutic massage, and ozone therapy, among others.
These treatments are administered to patients referred from different specialties, including those with sequelae from chikungunya, with the aim of alleviating pain and improving their quality of life.
The hospital also offers a multidisciplinary consultation for those facing the chronic phase of the virus, where patients receive comprehensive care from rheumatologists, orthopedists, clinicians, and rehabilitation specialists.
Recently, the number of patients undergoing ozone therapy has grown, a treatment known for its multiple benefits. This method promotes healing, improves blood circulation, contributes to visual health, and has anti-tumor properties (requiring approval from an oncologist).
