Mechanical Traction is when we use a machine to produce a steady and controlled traction or decompression force on the lumbar spine. This takes the pressure off the joints and the discs in the spine, giving pain relief for many lower back pain conditions.
Mechanical Traction is used to treat Disc bulge, Ruptured disc (slipped disc), Degenerative disc, Sciatica, Osteoarthritis, and Stiff lower back.
Cervical/Lumbar Traction is a therapy that stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed nerves and stretch tight muscles, to treat back and neck pain. It may also be used for realigning the spine in cases of dislocation. The goal of lumbar traction is to reduce the pain associated with nerve root impingement and muscle spasms. Traction is not recommended when the structure of the spine is compromised such as in osteoporosis, tumors or cervical rheumatoid arthritis.
Dynamic Ultrasound is another supplemental treatment modality commonly used in physiotherapy. It provides deep heating to soft tissues in the body including muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. It can help to decrease pain, increase tissue elasticity, degrade scar, increase cellular activity, and increases circulation.
Electrotherapy includes a range of treatments using electricity to reduce pain, improve circulation, repair tissues, strengthen muscles, and promote bone growth, leading to improvements in physical functioning. Electrotherapy is typically used in conjunction with other treatments, rather than by itself. For people undergoing physical therapy, electrotherapy may alleviate pain sufficiently for an individual to participate more actively in targeted exercises. Electrotherapy is among pain relief options gaining attention as the potential risks and side effects of opioid (narcotic) medications have become more apparent. Electrotherapy has been used to address chronic pain and chronic fatigue in general.
Pulsed Shortwave Therapy uses high-frequency electromagnetic current to promote tissue healing and ease pain. This type of therapy has thermal (mild heating) and non-thermal effects and is effective at treating muscles, nerves, and areas of swelling. Pulsed Shortwave Therapy can be used to assist wound healing and treat haematoma, oedema and soft tissue injuries and wounds.
Pulsed Shortwave Therapy is primarily related to the inflammatory and repair phases in soft tissue injury. The effect is similar to ultrasound and laser therapy. The benefits of Pulsed Shortwave Therapy include: Increasing blood flow to the affected area, Decreasing inflammation, Improving quality of repair, Controlling pain, Facilitating tissue repair by restoring normal cell function
Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy uses technology to stimulate and exercise cells to help resolve cellular dysfunction and to support overall wellness. It treats your cells like batteries. It’s common for them to slowly be drained of energy. By the end of a day, your body and mind may feel tired and depleted. That’s where PEMF technology can help. Dr. Kishore Chandra Pattanayak uses it to generate energy in your cells without an invasive procedure. This amplifies your natural energy and encourages your body to function more effectively. Also known as low field magnetic stimulation, it uses electromagnetic fields to try to help cellular dysfunction.
