Electrotherapy & Ultrasound
Electrotherapy is the use of electricity for therapeutic purposes. Depending on the problem the patient is experiencing, various current types are used. Therapeutic ultrasound produces ultrasonic waves and heat for therapeutic purposes. Using sound waves, ultrasound is a technique for stimulating the tissue under the skin. Ultrasound has three major benefits. The first is to speed up the healing process by increasing blood flow to the treated area due to vasodilation. The second is pain reduction. The third is swelling reduction.
Laser
The laser is often used in the rehabilitation setting. It is a high-frequency laser that helps the body’s tissues recover and is completely safe.
Magnet therapy
Pulsed Magnetic Field (PMF) therapy is an effective form of physiotherapy. Pulsed magnetic fields can greatly increase oxygen usage in diseased or injured tissues by affecting ion exchange at the cellular level. It is well known that an oxygen deficit can lead to a number of issues, including arthritis and delayed healing. Therefore, PMF is indicated in a wide range of orthopedic issues, traumatology, rheumatology, and after simple and complex fractures recovery. Patients with impaired blood circulation, neurological problems, and osteoporosis may also benefit from PMF.
Diathermy
Diathermy is commonly used to relax muscles and induce deep tissue heating for therapeutic purposes. It is employed in physiotherapy to directly apply heat to pathological lesions in the body’s deep tissues.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment option. The term shockwave refers to mechanical pressure pulses that travel as a wave through the body. Shockwave energy is conducted locally, where it applies its healing abilities. Shock waves are pulses of high intensity mechanical energy, similar to sound waves, produced by an electromagnetic coil. Shock wave therapy is recommended for the treatment of tendons, joints, and muscles, and is used to treat disorders like tendinitis, calcifying tendonitis, and epicondylitis.

Traction Therapy
Traction Therapy is a modern, painless conservative traction procedure that effectively treats back pain, sciatica, and cervical syndrome. It is also very effective in reducing and eliminating pain caused by intervertebral disc herniation, nerve root entrapment, degenerative disc changes, severe muscle spasms, etc. The electronically controlled traction at a specific angle works by decompressing the spine. Thus, it:
- Relieves the disc
- Relieves nerve pressure
- Stretches ligaments, muscles, and bursae
- Reduces muscle spasm
- Reduces inflammation
It is effective in treating migraine, intervertebral disc herniation, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, and radiculopathy.
CPM
Continuous passive limb mobilization, utilized as a form of therapy following surgery or injury, lessens pain, prevents joint stiffness while expanding range of motion, and promotes the recovery of articular cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. It is commonly used following knee, ankle, and hip surgical procedures.
