If a condition requires it physiotherapists can use
electrotherapy to treat disorders. Some of the modalities
used are:
Ultrasound: Involves high frequency sound waves to treat
soft tissue. It can help by stimulating blood circulation
and cell activity, accelerating healing time and providing
pain relief.
Tns: Produces pain relief by blocking pain messages to the
brain.
Physiotherapists may use these modalities often as an
adjunct to manual therapy.
