What is somatosensory rehabilitation

Strange feelings, feeling numb in your skin, pins and needles, pain to the light touch or burning sensations, static shocks... are all neurological symptoms which arise after a surgical operation or a nerve injury and which merit being taken care of.

Somatosensory rehabilitation allows us to evaluate sensitive areas by 
- cartographing the skin area or the area which is painful or loosing feeling.
- determining the severity of the problem.
- localiing the nerve lesions.
- quantifying the pain and the pain felt.

Somatosensory rehabilitation allows us to treat
- hyposensitive areas by using a rehabilitation program.
- allodynic (non-noxious stimulation) areas by using a tactile and vibratory program, specialising in the cases of painful problems (Allodynies, mechanical or nerves).
- the areas of axonal lesions by using a desensitizing program in case of lesions of sensitive nerves or neuroma.

Treatment
During the treatment, therapists need a machine which generates mechanical vibrations, like Vibradol® (device from the company RehaxOne) , which plays an integral part of the somatosensory rehabilitation.
