Electro Therapy
INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY, ULTRASOUND, TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION(TENS), SHORT WAVE DIATHERMY(SWD), INFRA RED RADIATION, HEATIND PADS, 7.WAX BATH
1.INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY- Electrical stimulation of nerves with low frequency stimulation.
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Stimulates deeper tissues and relieves pain(anaesthetic effect)
Muscle stimulation and reduction of edema.
Effective in treating muscle aches,muscle spasms,arthritis.low back ache,lumbar spondylitis,cervical spondylosis,muscle stiffness,nerve root compression
2.ULTRASOUND- It is a form of mechanical erergy producing mechanical vibration.
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Useful in case of inflammatory conditions
Effective in treating stress fractures,edema,muscle strain,lumbago,lumbar spondylitis,cervical spondylosis,stiff neck,disc prolapse,frozen shoulder,myositis,ligament sprains,
3.TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION(TENS)
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Produce electrical stimulation and gives symptomatic pain relief.
Indicated for Osteo arthritis,compressed nerve,sciatica,disc bulge,back ache.lumbar spondylosis,disc prolapse,muscle stiffness,muscle aches,rheumatoid arthritis,diabetic neuropathy,dysmenorrhoea.
4.SHORT WAVE DIATHERMY(SWD)-It uses high frequency electromagnetic energy to generate heat.
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Increases nutrient supply to the affected area.
Indicated for muscle spasms,sprains,muscle aches, joint stiffness,pain due to kidney stones,frozen shoulder,osteo arthritis,back pain,tendinitis.
5.INFRA RED RADIATION:-It is an electromagnetic radiation
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Produces heat in the body tissues and local blood supply is increased.
Reduces pain, inflammation and joint stiffness
Indicated in muscle spasms,adhesion,swelling,muscle stiffness.
6.HEATIND PADS- Dilates blood vessls of the muscles and increases blood circulation.
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Indicated for back ache,muscle spasm, pain in neck,pain in shoulder,decreases muscle stiffness,abdominal muscle cramps,menstrual cramps.
7.WAX BATH- It is the effective way of applying heat to improve mobility.
BENEFITS AND CONDITIONS:-
Indicated for edema,arthritis,swelling,osteo arthritis,peri articular diseases,muscle spasm.
