According To The Method Of Treatment, Physical Therapy

  • Manual therapy: Manual therapy is a treatment that is made with hands, practiced by physical therapist. Improve joint movement and flexibility, Nov reduce spasm and relieve pain and inflammation, and is used to promote tissue healing. Manual therapy techniques include:
  1. Massage: relax muscles, improve blood circulation and relieve the pain that is applied to soft tissue manipulation.
  2. Mobilization: to increase the range of joint motion, and gentle stretching maneuvers.
  3. Manipulation: immediate to restore joint function and a controlled motion.
  • Exercise therapy: Exercise therapy to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion, improve balance and coordination, and endurance exercises to increase the use of includes. Based on the patient's specific needs and goals of the exercise program over time will be updated. Exercises and should be done at home or in the clinic.
  • Electrotherapy: Benefiting from the physical effects of the electrical current given on the method of treatment is called electrotherapy. Electrotherapy pain and reduce edema, stimulate the muscles and tissue to promote healing is used to treat. Electrotherapy techniques include the following:
  1. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens): electrodes are placed on the skin, the nervous system, controlled low-voltage electrical current applied to a given treatment.
  2. Short-wave diathermy: Mutual positioned between electrodes placed on the area to be treated, where deep tissues with high frequency waves to produce heat treatment.
  3. Ultrasound: sound waves are caused by mechanical vibration with heat deep tissue and increase blood circulation to the stimulation of cellular activity with the principle of the treatment. With the aim to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing is used.
  • Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is a method of physical therapy is conducted in water. Buoyancy and water resistance, while also reducing the stress on your joints, strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve balance can be used. Hydrotherapy may also help relieve the pain and inflammation.
  • Laser treatment: Low power laser therapy in order to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing is the use of laser light. Laser light, works by increasing blood circulation and stimulating cellular activity.
  • Prosthetic and orthotic applications: Dentures are artificial devices that are used to fulfill the function of a lost limb. Support muscles and joints are devices that are used to maintain the orthosis.
