In case a patient is recovering from a surgery, or any accident, illness and injury, then Physiotherapy can prove to be extremely beneficial.

With timely and focused Orthopedic Physiotherapy, patients can recover faster from any issues related with the musculoskeletal system, and carry on with their day to day activities with ease.

Effective Physiotherapy Treatments For Orthopedic Patients

Based on our extensive experience, we have observed that these treatments are the most effective, based on the specific case and conditions:

Exercise Therapy

Under exercise therapy, the Physiotherapist will create a detailed plan for exercises, revolving around mobility, strengthening, and/or balance-building.

With gradual practice, the patient will be able to perform these exercises on their own, after the therapist assists the patient initially. It’s important for the patient to let the physiotherapist know which exercises are doable, and which one are causing discomfort and pain.

Traction

In conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain and degenerative disc conditions in the spine, traction can be applied for efficient results.

Via traction, the pressure on the compressed and damaged joints are taken off either using special equipment like a traction machine, or manually by the therapist.

Electrotherapy

Based on research & observation, it has been found that by administering electrotherapy via electric stimulation, the patient’s pain can be reduced gradually. However, it’s specific to cases and conditions.

In electrotherapy, electric stimulation is provided via e-stem device such as TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)

In TENS, low voltage electric pulse is passed on the body area where the patient is experiencing pain, while in NMES, electric pulse is passed on to the impacted nerves.

TheraGun

TheraGun is a handheld device that is used to stimulate muscles and empower them to perform day to day activities without any obstacles. This handheld device vibrates at a high recurrence, with very tiny amplitude of movement.

Just two-three minutes of using TheraGun on impacted areas such as arms, glutes, legs can provide instant relief to the patient.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy, also known as hijama cupping, vacuum cupping and horn treatment is one of the oldest and traditional methods to release toxins from the body. The therapist puts specially designed cups on the impacted area and applies pressure to release the toxins.
