It promote, maintain and restore health through examination, diagnoses & management. It had two parts:-
The application of an electric current to the affected area of the body to accelerate healing and reduce swelling and pain, inflammation, nerve and stimulation.
Wax therapy is a form of deep heat therapy which is the most effective way of applying heat to improve mobility by warming the connective tissues.
Wax Therapy involves the application of molten paraffin wax, to the connecting tissues causing muscle relaxation and improves joint mobility.
This therapy involves the application of Ultrasound waves above that of the range of human hearing in order to treat various types of injuries.
This therapy involves the continuous transfer of sound waves resulting in small vibrations in the deep tissue molecules. It is generally used in case of a Myofascial pain, or a muscle strain or sprain, scars, or adhesion.
This therapy uses single the vibration of sound waves to penetrate tissue. It is generally used if you have Pain and Swelling such as with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,
While ultrasound therapy is not effective for all chronic pain conditions, it may help reduce your pain if you have any of the following:
Ultrasound therapy should not be used on these body parts:
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit is a device that sends small electrical currents to targeted body parts. These currents are used to relieve pain.
A TENS unit sends electrical pulses through the skin. These pulses control pain signals in the body, creating temporary or permanent relief from pain. They can control abnormally excited nerves and release endorphins.
A single treatment typically lasts 15 to 40 minutes. It’s not painful, but you might feel a slight tingling or warming sensation where the electrodes meet your skin.
IFT which stands for Interferential Therapy is one of the types of electrotherapy used for the management of pain. The principle of interferential therapy is to cause two medium frequency currents of slightly different frequencies to interfere with one another. Interferential current therapy works by sending small amounts of electrical stimulation to damaged tissues in the body. The therapy is meant to boost the body's natural process of responding to pain, by increasing circulation thus produces hormones that promote healing. IFT delivers intermittent pulses to stimulate surface nerves and block the pain signal, by delivering continuous deep stimulation into the affected tissue. IFT relieves pain, increases circulation, decreases edema, and stimulates the muscles.
Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is a treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating in joints and soft tissues. This form of heat can be applied to deeper structures than other forms of heat treatment. Thus SWD can effectively relieve joint pain, improve soft tissue healing and decrease the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Best Health Physiotherapists are knowledgeable and experienced in the appropriate application of SWD.
What makes short wave diathermy different from other heating agents? How it produces heating in deeper tissues? One of the most important differences is its ability to heat deeper tissues of our body.
The heating of the tissues is the result of high-frequency alternating current which generally have a frequency 27.12 MHz and a wavelength of 11 meters. Currents of such high frequencies do not stimulate motor or sensory nerves nor do they produce any muscle contraction.
Cryotherapy, also known as ice application, is the simplest and oldest way to treat injuries. Ice is believed to control pain by instigating local anaesthesia.It also decreases oedema, nerve conduction velocities, cellular metabolism and local blood flow.
Exercise therapy is defined as a regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed to facilitate the patients to recover from diseases and any conditions, which disturb their movement and activity of daily life or maintain a state of well‐being through neuro re‐education, gait training, and therapeutic activities.
Exercise therapy can be called Activity‐Based Therapy, Activity‐Based Recovery Therapy, Neuro‐based Therapy, and Restorative Therapy
The most important goal of exercise therapy is an optimal level of physical fitness by the end of the intervention. The physical fitness a state characterized by good muscle strength combined with good endurance.
