TREATMENT SERVICES
MODALITIES aid in the healing process, reduce pain, promote circulation, enhance tissue flexibility, ultimately assisting patients in achieving their rehabilitation goals.
Electric Stimulation
Electrical stimulation is a therapeutic technique commonly used in physical therapy that involves the application of electrical currents to specific areas of the body. These electrical currents can be delivered through electrodes placed on the skin or through specialized devices. Electrical stimulation is used to promote pain relief, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, increase muscle strength, and facilitate muscle re-education. It can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Ultrasound Therapy:
Ultrasound therapy offers several potential benefits, including increased blood flow to the treated area, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair. It can also help to relax muscles, relieve pain, and improve overall mobility. Using conduction gel, soothing sound waves are administered to the area producing a heating effect that is therapeutic.
Theralase Cold Laser Therapy:
Cold laser therapy is often used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, and chronic pain. It is believed to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue healing and regeneration. is a non-invasive treatment modality used in physical therapy to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation.
NormaTec Vasopnuematic Compression:
Vasopneumatic compression is commonly used in the management of various conditions, including lymphedema, venous insufficiency, post-surgical swelling, and sports-related injuries. It can also aid in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in individuals who are at risk. The treatment involves the application of intermittent pressure to an extremity using a specialized device. It utilizes inflatable sleeves or cuffs that are wrapped around the area of treatment, such as the arm or legs.
Paraffin Wax:
During a paraffin wax treatment, the affected body part is then dipped or brushed into the warm liquid wax, creating a coating. The wax quickly solidifies, creating a warm and soothing layer around the treated area. The heat from the paraffin wax helps to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and relieve stiffness and joint pain. It can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and fibromyalgia.
Cryotherapy:
During cryotherapy, the affected body part is exposed to cold treated with ice packs, ice baths, or specialized cryotherapy machines. The cold temperature causes blood vessels to constrict, which can help reduce blood flow to the area and decrease inflammation. It can also numb nerve endings, providing pain relief. Cryotherapy is often used to decrease inflammation, manage acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, or post-surgical swelling. It can help alleviate pain and swelling, facilitate tissue healing, and improve overall recovery time.
Moist Heat Therapy:
During moist heat therapy, the heat increases blood flow to the area, which helps relax muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and alleviate pain. It also promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, enhancing the healing process. It can help relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, and reduce inflammation. Additionally, the heat can create a comforting and relaxing sensation, promoting overall relaxation and stress reduction.
