CLASS 3B LASER, 1200MW CLASS 4 - 150000MW
LASER THERAPY
How it works?
We augment your rehabilitation process by the use of a modality called Low Level Laser Therapy.
All illness, disease process, aches and pains involve cells that are not operating at their full potential. Low Level Laser Therapy works by recharging your cells. The Low Level Laser device emits specific wavelengths of light into your body. These specific wavelengths promote the production of an enormous amount of cellular energy known as ATP.
This energy can then be used to assist your cells to heal and regenerate faster, thus reducing and /or eliminating your aches and pains.
Low level energy Laser therapy (LLLT) uses low-powered laser light to produce a biological response in tissue. It is classified as CLASS 3B LASER. Besides, high powered lasers are also used for physiotherapy treatment classified as class 4.
CLASS 3B LASER, 1200MW CLASS 4 - 150000MW
Benefits of laser therapy:
-
Treatment is painless
-
Highly effective for many diseases and conditions
-
Eliminates pain
-
Reduce the needs for pharmaceuticals
-
Restores normal range of motion and physical function
-
Easily applied
-
Non- toxic
-
Non- invasive
-
No known adverse effects
-
No drug interactions
-
Often makes surgical intervention unnecessary.
TECAR THERAPY: DEEP HEAT THERAPY
TECAR Therapy creates a true endogenous therapy (heat inside tissues). It is not heat coming from the plates of the machine but the heat is induced by the passage of radiofrequency into the human body, which by finding a resistance from the biological fabric, warm itself “directly from the inside” therefore has immense effectiveness in resolving chronic musculoskeletal pains.
It is used for treatment of:
-
Back pain,
-
Neck pain,
-
Knee pain,
-
Frozen shoulder,
-
Arthritis,
-
Degenerative joint problems,
-
Migraines,
-
Calf pain.
PEMF: PULSED ELECTRO MAGNETIC FIELD THERAPY
BTL Magnetic PEMF is a form of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. This kind of therapy has been seen to be highly effective in many cases, especially treating chronic pain. Clinical evidence shows that PEMF therapy reduces pain associated with trauma from accidents, sports injuries, surgeries and other inflammatory diseases.
The latest findings about physiological response of the human body organ to the electromagnetic field imply the following effects of magneto therapy:
• analgesic effect,
• antiedematous effect,
• antiphlogistic effect,
• trophic effect (acceleration of healing and growth),
• myorelaxation and spasmolytic effect,
• vasodilatation effect.
DECOMPRESSION THERAPY
(SPINAL TRACTION-CERVICAL AND LUMBER TRACTION SYSTEM)
Spinal traction-(DECOMPRESSION SYSTEM) and deep message apparatus (machines) are two commonly used examples.
Physiological effect and mechanism of action: spinal traction can provide a pulling force to the spine, cause vertebral joint distraction, and provide stretching to the ligament, muscle and facet joint5, reduction of compression and nerve root and disc irritation.
(CONSISTS OF FULLY PROGRAMMED TRACTION MACHINE, MANUAL SPILT (4 SECTIONS) TRACTION TABLE, CERVICAL APPLICATOR (which allows to apply traction force exclusively to cervical spine). Clinic is furnished with CHATANOOGA fully self adjustable TRACTION BELTS SYSTEM. QUICK WRAP BELTING SYSTEM ENSURSES QUICK AND EASY PATIENT SET UP.

MODALITIES
Modalities (Physical) are physical agents that produce a specific therapeutic response. We use most commonly used physical modalities including heat (superficial and deep heat), cold, sound, electricity, mechanical forces and light.
1. Superficial heat
Commonly used superficial heat modalities include:
-
Hot packs,
-
Heating pads,
-
Paraffin bath,
-
Infrared
The heat penetration is usually less than 1 cm
2. Deep heat
Deep heat modalities include:
-
Ultrasound,
-
Shortwave diathermy (SWD),
-
PSWD - PULSED SHORTWAVE DIATHERMY
-
Tecar.
Heat penetration can be 3-5 cm or more without overheating underlying subcutaneous tissue or skin.
3. Cryotherapy
Common cold modalities include:
-
Cold packs,
-
Ice massage,
-
Cold baths,
-
Vapocoolant sprays,
-
Cold compression units
These modalities lower local tissue temperature.
4. Electrotherapy
-
This modality uses electricity to stimulate nerve or muscle for reducing swelling swelling , pain, reducing muscle and brain function. This is also used for strengthening the muscles.
-
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Interferential Therapy (IFT),
-
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES),
-
H-WAVE Therapy,
-
MICROCURRENT Therapy,
-
Lontophoresis.
5. Light therapy
-
Soft LASER
-
Low level energy Laser therapy (LLLT) uses low-powered laser light to produce a biological response in tissue. It is classified as CLASS 3B LASER . Now high powered lasers are also used for physiotherapy treatment classified as class 4.
