What are Electrotherapy & Local Modalities?
Electrotherapy and local modalities are used to assist pain reduction and the natural healing response
via an increase in energy (electrical, sound, light, magnetic,
temperature).
These modalities have short-term benefits that can assist
with the earlier introduction of other longer lasting techniques such
as exercise prescription.
While many patients will feel the immediate benefits from this form of
passive treatment, it is wise to think of these modalities similarly to pain relieving or anti-inflammatory medications.
That is, a method of pain relief or
inflammation reduction that provides short-term relief, which allows
you to continue living as comfortably as possible until the cause is fixed!
Local Modalities include:
Electrotherapy Modalities include:
- Ultrasound
- Laser
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
