USE OF LASER IN PHYSIOTHERAPY
Definition LASER Therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality increasingly used in physiotherapy to promote healing, reduce pain, and accelerate tissue repair. By utilizing specific wavelengths of light, LASER therapy penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity and enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Commonly applied in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue…
ULTRASOUND THERAPY
Introduction of Ultrasound : Ultrasound Waves : Ultrasound waveform with compression and rarefaction These three factors are related, but are not constant for all types of tissue. Average figures are most commonly used to represent the passage of US in the tissues. Typical US frequencies from therapeutic equipment are 1 and 3 MHz though some…
SHORT-WAVE-DIATHERMY
DEFINATION: Short Wave Diathermy : Short Wave Diathermy is Also called SWD – is a Electric Machine that are useful in treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating in joints and soft tissues. This form of heat can be applied to deeper structures than other forms of heat treatment. It uses a high-frequency…
ROTATOR CUFF
What is a Rotator cuff injury? The most common rotator cuff injuries are impingements and tears. Impingement: An impingement occurs when a rotator cuff muscle swells and cramps the space between the arm and shoulder bones, causing pinching. Muscle strain, other overuse injuries, and bone spurs are common causes of swelling. Tear: A less common…
