Electrical Therapeutic Modalities
We treat patients with a comprehensive range of Electrical Therapeutic Modalities either on their own or in conjunction with exercise. The various modalities include:
- Ultrasound – sound waves to promote healing, breakdown adhesions and scar tissue with pain relief
- Interferential – used to reduce swelling, promoting healing and pain relief
- Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy – bathing the tissue in electrical energy which recharges the cells that make up the tissue. Promotes healing and reduces pain
- Shockwave – for more chronic conditions, breaking down scar tissue and starting the healing phase again
- Intermittent Compression – Used to quickly reduce swelling in a limb, also helps to mobilise a limb again
As well as providing treatment we can support you with advice and exercises suited to your individual needs.
