Physiotherapy Treatments
Deep Heat Therapy to Induce Muscle Relaxation
Deep Heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy, works by applying heat to an affected area to treat damaged muscles, joints or tissues in the body. Its primary use is to help relieve persistent pains associated with muscle stiffness, sensitivity and cramping.
Interferential Therapy (IFT) to Improve Muscle Strength
Interferential therapy is a form of physical therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the body’s muscles, tissues, and nerves. It’s usually used to treat pain, muscle spasms, and stiffness.
Ultrasound (US) to Reduce Inflammation
Ultrasound is an electrotherapy that promotes healing and reduces inflammation at a cellular level. An ultrasound machine creates mechanical sound waves that produce energy, which when they enter the skin cause micro vibrations in the cells improving tissue healing and reducing pain.
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to Stimulate Nerve
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TENS) involves delivering electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate nerves and block pain signals. This non-invasive method is used to manage acute and chronic pain conditions, promoting natural pain relief. TENS is safe, easy to use, and can be administered in various settings, making it a popular choice for pain management.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to Stimulate Motor Points in Muscles
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy stimulates a muscle contraction using electrical impulses in order strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, relieve pain and help heal wounds. This stimulation can be Faradic/Galvanic.
Traction for Spinal Decompression
Traction therapy, or spinal decompression therapy, is a nonsurgical treatment that uses manual or mechanical means to stretch the spine and relieve pain among affected discs. This treatment repositions herniated or bulging discs, decreasing pressure on the back.
LASER for Pain Relief
Laser therapy is a modern medical treatment that uses a beam of light of a specific wavelength to stimulate tissue healing and treat pain and inflammation in a non-invasive manner. “LASER” is also known as “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.” The laser beam is focused on the affected area, where the light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the tissues, triggering biological responses that promote healing.
Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) to Improve Ion Exchange and Increase Blood Circulation
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is the use of electromagnetic fields in an attempt to heal non-union fractures and depression.The radio waves are used to stimulate tissue repair, relieving a vast array of symptoms with no side effects. It is also suitable for people with metal implants and is safe for use around the eye, breast or genital areas.
Manual Therapy & Exercises
Manual therapy encompasses hands-on techniques used by physiotherapists to manipulate soft tissues and joints. This approach improves mobility, reduces pain, and enhances overall function. Combined with tailored exercise programs, manual therapy helps patients strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and regain independence in their daily activities.
