How Fingers and Needle-Free Injection can Alleviate Pain and Disability – Prof. Ayodele Onigbinde 

The University of Medical Sciences, UNIMED, Ondo held its 5th Inaugural Lecture on Tuesday, 10th September, 2024 at TETFund Lecture Theatre, Laje Campus.

 

The thrust of the lecture is that pain has been there even before birth and at delivery, but must we experience pain? In interrogating the question, the Inaugural Lecturer, Professor Teslim Ayodele Onigbinde answered in the affirmative by saying that “Yes, even the repair process after a damage or injury gives pain”. He further said that “Naturally, with ageing , the human body experiences ‘wear and tear’. A misused , injured, untreated and mechanically deranged human body will produce pain leading subsequently to disability, reduction and loss of physical functions.”

 

Pain and loss of physical functions impair activities of daily living with negative economic implications and low quality of life. According to him “These are the challenges a physiotherapist faces on daily basis in his/her career – to fix a physically deranged body.”

 

Professor Onigbinde, an accomplished academic and Physiotherapist, after tracing his sojourn in the academia, his experience as a Physiotherapist, among others, submitted that “pains and disability may be debilitating but the dexterity of the fingers and Injection therapy without the needle are critical to achieving maximum functions that can guarantee good quality of life for all the clients of physiotherapy.”

 

The Inaugural Lecture, chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Adesegun Fatusi, had the principal officers of UNIMED, Deans of Faculties, Heads of Departments, physiotherapists, guests of the Inaugural Lecturer, and a host of professionals from diverse fields of endeavours in attendance.
