Electrotherapy.Electrotherapy treatment includes the use of laser, interferential, TNS and therapeutic ultrasound.
- Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used in the treatment of ligament and tendon injuries where inflammation is present.
- Evidence suggests that the use of ultrasound can improve the final strength of the damaged tissue as well as the speed that it gains its strength.
- If a tissue heals strongly then it stands to reason that it is less likely to be damaged repetitively.
- Interferential is commonly used to decrease the pain an individual may be experiencing by using a pain gate mechanism that switches off the nerve stimulation to the brain.
- Interferential can also be used to reactivate muscles as they recover from being damaged.
