What Treatments Are Performed In Physiotherapy? - Mr. Harish Jagtani

 The Department of Physiotherapy is a special division of PMR (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and helps restore movement and function to a part of the body when a person is injured or disabled. Physiotherapy treatment reduces the risk of injury or illness in the future. It is a teamwork and holistic approach that involves direct patient care. It involves several procedures aimed at restoring natural movements and rectifying movement-related problems to enable you to lead a normal life. There is a different physiotherapy treatment plan for each patient, depending on their condition. It involves biomechanics, or kinesiology, manual therapy, exercise, therapy, electrotherapy, etc. Your physiotherapist will analyze your muscle strength and health to design a treatment plan to achieve the desired result. Most of the time, using physiotherapy plans under the guidance of experts allows patients to avoid surgical procedures. Read on to learn about some of the most commonly used physiotherapy treatments to restore mobility, strength and function!

manual therapy

Manual therapy is one of the physiotherapy treatments used by physiotherapists to treat disabilities or musculoskeletal pain. It mainly involves joint mobilizations and manipulations to relieve and maintain normal structure.

TENS

TENS therapy or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is commonly used to deliver low voltage electrical current to relieve pain. It is very effective in case of back pain. The electrical impulses help reduce pain signals transmitted to the spinal cord and stimulate endorphins, which are the body's natural pain relievers.

Hydrotherapy

Water is very helpful in relieving pain and is used to treat a variety of painful symptoms in your body. The heat of water, if used scientifically, helps muscles relax and relieves joint pain, allowing you to do recommended exercises to regain mobility. The department may have special pools to provide hydrotherapy to patients, depending on the needs.

Therapy with hot and cold applications

This is a very simple therapy that involves applying hot and cold compresses to an area to alleviate pain and achieve various therapeutic results through local or systematic changes in body temperature. Hot wax baths or cold packs are used to achieve the desired results.

Reinforcement therapy

A strengthening program is designed to strengthen weakened muscles or a part of the body, which may be due to paralysis or any other injury. A set of strengthening exercises increases 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. Also, diathermy, ROM, etc. are part of other physiotherapy treatments.
