This therapy teaches the body to attain back the balance and the muscles to become stronger.

SHORT WAVE DIATHERMY

Usage: 
Shortwave diathermy uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate heat. It may be applied in pulsed or continuous energy waves. It has been used to treat pain from kidney stones, and pelvic inflammatory Disease. It’s commonly used for conditions that cause pain and muscle spasms such as:

  • Sprains
  • Strains
  • Bursitis
  • Tenosynovitis

Benefits:
Treating injuries with heat can increase blood flow and make connective tissue more flexible. It can also help minimize inflammation and reduce the incidence of edema, or fluid retention. By increasing blood flow to the site of an injury, the deep heat generated with diathermy can accelerate healing. Diathermy is used to treat the following conditions:

      • Arthritis
      • Back pain
      • Fibromyalgia
      • Muscle spasms
      • Myositis
      • Neuralgia
      • Sprains and Strains
      • Tenosynovitis
      • Tendonitis
      • Bursitis

CERVICAL CUM LUMBER TRACTION

Usage:
Cervical spinal traction is accepted as effective for short term relief of neck pain. It can relieve muscle spasm and nerve root compression by stretching soft tissues and increasing the spaces between cervical vertebrae.

Benefits:
It can relieve muscle spasm and nerve root compression by stretching soft tissues and increasing the spaces between cervical vertebrae. Lumber traction can relieve pressure on compressed nerves, help muscles relax and reduce muscle spasms.

TENS

  • Period pain
  • Labour pain
  • Postoperative pain
  • Joint pain
  • Neck and Back pain

They may also alleviate pain that results from the following conditions:

  • Endometriosis

  • Sports injuries
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Painful Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Spinal cord injury

A TENS unit has controls that allow people to administer an appropriate level of pain relief. People can achieve this by
altering the following aspects of the electrical current:

Intensity: A dial allows the user to adjust the intensity of the electrical stimulation.

Frequency: The frequency refers to the number of electrical pulses per second. High-frequency (HF) pulses range from 80 to 120 cycles per second and may help manage acute pain. Low-frequency (LF) pulses range from 1 to 20 cycles per second and are suitable for the treatment of chronic pain.

Duration: The duration is the number of microseconds that the current enters the skin for during each pulse.

Benefits:
TENS is a noninvasive method for relieving pain. People who experience pain relief from TENS may be able to reduce their intake of pain medications, some of which can be addictive or cause adverse side effects.
TENS units are also convenient because they are small, portable, and relatively discrete. People can carry a TENS unit in their pocket or clip it onto a belt to ensure that they have immediate access to pain relief throughout the day. e muscle spasms.
