Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting healing and reducing pain. This modality is effective for soft tissue injuries, inflammation, and scar tissue management.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation involves the use of electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves, helping to reduce pain and improve muscle function. This modality is often used for rehabilitation after injury or surgery.
TENS Therapy
TENS therapy delivers low-voltage electrical currents through the skin to relieve pain. It is a non-invasive method that can be used for various conditions, providing effective pain management without medication.
Paraffin Treatment
Paraffin treatment involves immersing the hands or feet in warm paraffin wax to provide soothing heat and moisture. This modality is particularly beneficial for arthritis and other conditions that cause stiffness and pain in the joints.
Heat & Ice Therapy
Heat and ice therapy are fundamental modalities used to manage pain and inflammation. Heat helps relax muscles and improve circulation, while ice reduces swelling and numbs pain. Our therapists will guide you on the appropriate use of these modalities based on your condition.
