1)Therapeutic Ultrasound
- Therapeutic
Ultrasound is one of the
most common modalities used by physicians in today's technologically advanced
nations, and has been for several decades. Its effectiveness has been enhanced
over the years by studies which helped determine optimum techniques and
patterns of application, and a wide range of injuries have shown to be
responsive to this popular, non-invasive therapy.
A deep tissue heating modality reaching underlying
tissues as deep as 1 to 5 centimeters, it is used to treat musculo-skeletal
injuries, back and joint conditions, limited range of motion, soft tissue
injuries, and chronic conditions.
Treatment is administered directly which penetrates the
tissues, increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, repairs damaged tissue,
and dramatically speeds the healing process. It creates permanent, physical
changes and repairs both hard and soft tissues problems. One of the major advantages of ultrasound is that it is non-toxic
and non-destructive.
2)
Interferential current therapy
- Interferential current therapy is a treatment to aid the relief of pain and the
promotion of soft-tissue healing.
-
- Tiny electrical impulses are
induced into the tissues in the area of the pain. Where these waves intersect
below the surface of the skin, the low-frequency stimulation induces the body
to secrete endorphins, which are the body's natural pain-killers.
-
- Most patients find
interferential therapy to be very beneficial and describe the treatment as
being relaxing and having a 'pins and needles' sensation. Ligament sprains,
muscle strains and spasms often respond well to interferential current therapy.
3) Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
- Neuromuscular
electrical stimulation (NMES) is the application of electrical stimuli to a group of muscles, most
often for the purpose of muscle rehabilitation. Neuromuscular electrical
stimulation is primarily used by physical therapists as a form of rehabilitation after
injury, stroke, or other incident that results in loss of muscle function. NMES
is achieved by passing an electrical
impulse from a device through electrodes
placed on the skin over the targeted muscle or muscles.
-
- The intent of neuromuscular electrical stimulation is to
stimulate the nerves in the muscle with electrical impulses. Electrical
impulses are a natural part of the normal communication between the brain and
the muscular system in an uninjured or unaffected body. With neuromuscular electrical
stimulation, these natural impulses are simulated and can help “retrain?the
muscles to function again.
-
- While the use of Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is most
often used in rehabilitation of injured muscles or stroke, NMES has also been used
to improve the health of damaged tissue. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation
is also sometimes used as a way to manage chronic pain relief.
4) Automated
Flexion-and-Distraction Table
- Automated Flexion-and-Distraction Table helps to stop pain, realign
the spine and restore ranges of motion inherent to the spine while
reducing low back pain, especially in radiculopathy (extremity pain--leg pain or arm pain) patients, better than
active exercise therapy. It
also introduces the continuous-passive motion (CPM) to patient’s spine. (CPM) is a treatment
method designed to aid in the recovery of joints immediately
after trauma or surgery. CPM is carried out by a CPM device, which constantly
moves the joint through a controlled range
of motion, the exact range is dependent upon the joint, but in most cases
the range of motion is increased over time.
5) Segmental drop table
- Segmental drop table enables a gentle restoration of the spinal
alignment.
6) Cervical-Traction & Lumbar-Traction
- Cervical-Traction & Lumbar-Traction via Flexion-and-Distraction Table
