Interferential Therapy IFT


The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation. Interferential Therapy is approved for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic (long-term) intractable, post traumatic and post surgical pain.


Tens


Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to treat pain.

Traction


It can be set to precious exclusive cervical state with Max. Current operation is displayed as Hold - Release - Pull - Rest. If there happens any malfunction or breakdown, it is displayed by indicating as service, overload, Min > Max or remote, alarming the buzz. Right previous program is stored in memory automatically. Weight and stimulation time are displayed in exact digital system.

Swd


It is commonly used for muscle relaxation. It is also a method of heating tissue electromagnetically . Diathermy is used in physical therapy and occupational therapy to deliver moderate heat directly to pathologic lesions in the deeper tissues of the bodyShort wave diathermy machines utilize two condenser plates that are placed on either side of the body part to be treated.

Muscle Stimulator


Muscle Stimulator is advanced equipment that uses low voltage for targeting motor nerves to stimulate them. Due to the shock the muscles get relaxed and contracted. Thus, this continuous contracting and relaxing is used to treat various vascular and musco-skeletal conditions.

Joint Mobilization


This may be gentle movement to stretch and loosen joint structures to reduce pain and improve function. Sometimes more vigorous techniques are required to restore normal movement depending on the nature of the condition and on the individual.

Laser(Laser Pain -Relief Instrument)


Cold Laser Therapy Pain Management Treatment. Cold Laser Therapy or is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and is thought to help accelerate the healing process.

CPM


CPM, also called continuous passive motion, is a device that is used to gently flex and extend the knee joint. The CPM machine can be used after surgery to allow the knee joint to slowly bend. The initial thought was that CPM would improve motion following knee replacement surgery, as well as other knee procedures, and eliminate the problem of stiffness.
