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.
