SHORT WAVE DIATHERMY –

Short Wave Diathermy current is a high frequency alternating current. The heat energy obtained from the waves gives pain relief to the patient.

Where useful?

• Inflammatory conditions of shoulder and Elbow Joint (Tennis Elbow).

• Degenerative conditions of neck (Cervical Spondylosis).

• Osteoarthritis of Knee and hip joint.

• Ligament Sprains.

• Low Back Ache.

• Plantar fasciitis (Heel Pain), etc.

Where it should not be used?

• High Fever.

• Fluctuating Blood Pressure.

• Persons using Cardiac Pace Maker.

• Severe kidney and heart problems.

• Pregnant Women.

• Mentally Retarded Individuals.

Advantages:

• Relaxation of the muscles.

• Effective in bacterial infections.

• Relief of pain.

Laser Therapy is used for the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. This technology uses both red and infrared light to penetrate diseased or traumatize tissues. As these particles of energy (called photons) are absorbed into the skin and tissue, it results in a complex series of reactions that stimulate your cells to produce more energy, called ATP. This leads to decreasing pain, speeding up the inflammatory process, breaking down scar tissue, enhancing the immune system and encouraging the natural healing process. Laser is appropriate treatment for Soft tissue and Sport injuries, Whiplash injury, Back problems like Degenerative Disc Diseases, Disk Injuries, Osteoarthritis, Sciatica and Spinal Stenosis, Repetitive Strain Injuries like Tennis Elbow and Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, and inflammatory conditions like Plantar Fasciitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Bursitis. This treatment is non-toxic, non-invasive, and non-allergenic and there have been no adverse reactions reported. It is completely safe and even used in conditions where Short Wave Diathermy is contraindicated. The only contraindication of this therapy is its application on the womb in the first trimester and over a known malignancy.

TENS, IFT –

The word TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The word IFT means Interferential Therapy. TENS and IFT are electrical modalities that deliver relatively low voltage electricity through small electrodes. The electrical stimulation gives a buzz feeling that distracts brain from the site of pain. Physiotherapists use these modalities to provide pain relief and often in conjunction with heat or ice therapy depending on the stage of injury.

NMES –

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an electrical device that delivers electrical impulses to cause muscle contraction. It is useful in cases of improper functioning of muscles. Muscular dysfunction can occur following injury or surgery.  NMES causes muscle to contract involuntarily thus assisting in strengthening weaker muscles and correcting muscle imbalances.

Ultrasound Therapy –

Ultrasound is a device that delivers sound waves to provide deep heat. This heat enhances blood flow in the area and stimulates healing. In early stage of injury Ultrasound Therapy decrease inflammation around a joint. In later stages, it is used to heat an area for mobilization or relaxation of muscles. As a result, it is very helpful in relieving pain.

Paraffin Wax Bath Unit

• Paraffin wax is used to relieve pain and stiffness of the joints.

• The temperature of wax is in the range between 40° to 44°C.

• It is useful in joint pain and stiffness, particularly in patients of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The duration for the therapy is about 30-45 minutes.

Cervical and Lumber Traction

Cervical traction is accepted as effective treatment for short term relief of neck pain. It can relieve muscle spasm and nerve root compression by stretching soft tissues and increasing the space between cervical vertebrae. Lumber traction can relieve pressure on compressed nerves. It helps muscles to relax and reduces muscle spasms. Lumbar traction increases the space between two vertebrae and thus helps in reducing pressure on intervertebral discs and nerve root.

Moist Heat Therapy Unit

Moist heat therapy is used for ligament sprain, post fracture pain stiffness and painful conditions of joints.

Mobilization and Manipulation

Often joints in our body become stiff due to some injury, improper posture or as a part of arthritis. Stiffness in one joint can be a cause of pain in another joint. Physiotherapist assesses and treats stiffness by different techniques of mobilization and manipulation. Mobilizations consists of small passive movements, usually applied as a series of gentle stretches in a smooth, rhythmic fashion to the individual vertebrae or joint in the body. While in manipulation the joint is taken to end range and a thrust is applied to cause a crack or pop. These techniques are not only effective in increasing range of motion but also provide pain relief and joint nutrition. Most physiotherapy programs consist of mobilization and manipulation. Physiotherapist will always ask for your consent prior to these treatments. After every sitting of mobilization or manipulation our physiotherapist will teach you some exercises. This will maintain your new range of motion and will strengthen your weak muscles.

Exercises

Exercises are required to treat muscle imbalance which occurs when some muscles around the joint are weaker than others. Every good physiotherapy program consists of set of exercises that will strengthen weaker muscles and cause stretching of tight muscles. Physiotherapist advises exercises, some of which are done in clinic and others are as a part of home exercise program. Usually this consists of an exercise plan that will enable you to control your pain and strengthen your body part, so that the pain is less likely to recur. A unique difference between physiotherapist and practitioner is that physiotherapist will teach you how to become independent of your pain related medicines.

Type of Exercises Program –

• Work Conditioning Program – People may be off work due to a work related injury. Work conditioning programs are designed to rehabilitate individuals back to work. Physiotherapist can assess your injury and design injury specific rehabilitative program to help you to return to work. This often includes work stimulation exercises and other physiotherapy programs. Sometimes it is required to use a multi-disciplinary approach, where a team work of physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, family doctor and employer is required.

• Core Strengthening Exercise Program – In core strengthening exercises physiotherapist work on the abdominal and other postural muscles to help you to create and maintain ideal alignment. With increasing importance of core stability, most exercises programs emphasizes on core stability. By strengthening the core, stable foundation for the arms and legs are laid. These exercises are effective for the treatment of back pain and pain in other joints of the body.

• Balancing exercise – Balance is our fifth true senses and is controlled by vestibular system of human body. This system is located deep in the inner ear and consists of two components, the otoliths and the semi-circular canals. These components produce neural activity that is sent to the brain and gives us information with respect to up, down, side to side, and spinning movements. This system, like many of the systems in the human body can suffer from dysfunction and diseases. Typically this produces symptoms such as vertigo, disequilibrium, dizziness, and nausea. Vestibular rehabilitation is a unique education that Balance Physiotherapy offers.

Taping

Taping is often used to support weaker joints and muscles. It is helpful in activating lazy or weak muscles and inhibiting overactive muscles. Taping also serves as a means of pain control by reminding us to straighten our posture. Taping can also be used to support a sprained joint for proper ligament healing.

Physiotherapy in Obstetrics

Physiotherapy in obstetrics is concerned with musculoskeletal problems in pregnant female. It deals in postural care and physical fitness of women during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Postural Training during Pregnancy – Postural changes occur during pregnancy because of weight gain and laxity in ligamentous and connective tissue caused by hormonal changes. The postural changes of pregnancy are not often pathological, but unchecked postural changes may lead to acute or chronic low back pain syndrome. Evaluation and postural reeducation are necessary to prevent such squeals.

Treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction – Physical therapists can combine patient education with therapeutic modalities to relieve discomfort related to pregnancy. Back pain, calf cramps, carpal tunnel syndrome, and varicosities are some pregnancy-related discomforts that may be treated by physical therapists.

Stress management through relaxation training during pregnancy – Discomforts such as insomnia, headaches, or muscular pain may occur during pregnancy. Stress in many cases is a causative or aggravating element. These symptoms are usually treated with medications, most of which are contraindicated in pregnancy.  Thus physiotherapy has a great role in the management of these disorders. Relieving the symptoms of stress through the induction of relaxation is the treatment of choice. Relaxation-training techniques range from simple and concrete to more complex and abstract methods. The most commonly used methods for pregnant women are physiological relaxation, progressive relaxation and breathe awareness. Many relaxation methods teach the pregnant woman how to cope with the discomforts of parturition. Effective relaxation training can help pregnant female to control the relative discomforts of daily living.
