Manual therapy

Manual therapy is one of the physiotherapy treatments used by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal disability or pain. It mostly involves joint mobilisation and manipulations to provide relief and maintain normal structure.

TENS

TENS or Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy is commonly used to provide low voltage electric current to ease the pain. It is highly effective in cases of back pain. Electric impulses help to reduce the pain signals passing to the spinal cord as well as stimulate the endorphins, natural painkillers of the body.

Hydrotherapy

Water is very helpful to ease pain and is used to treat a variety of painful symptoms in your body. The warmth of water if used scientifically helps the muscles to relax and eases joint pain, thus helping to do your recommended exercises to regain mobility. The department may have special pools to provide hydrotherapy to the patients depending upon the requirement.

Hot and cold applications therapy

It is a very simple therapy and uses hot and cold packs over an area to relax the pain and for various therapeutic results by local or systematic changes in the body temperature. Hot wax baths or cold packs are used to get the desired results.

Strengthening therapy

A strengthening program is designed to strengthen weakened muscles or a body part that may be due to paralysis, or any other injury. A set of strengthening exercises would increase the strength of a particular muscle group by overloading the muscles to the level of muscle fatigue and encouraging the muscles to grow and strengthen. Moreover, diathermy, ROM, etc. are among other physiotherapy treatments.
