Expert Electrotherapy in Physiotherapy: Targeted Relief & Recovery at Veritas
Welcome to Veritas Rehabilitation and Hospitals! Here, we use advanced electrotherapy as a safe and simple part of our physiotherapy treatment.
Electrotherapy uses controlled electrical energy to help treat various nerve and muscle problems. It plays an important role in modern healing, offering two main advantages: quick pain relief without medication and better muscle training.
When you get electrotherapy at Veritas, skilled and certified physiotherapists ensure that the treatment is effective and safe for you.
Electrotherapy in Your Physiotherapy Program
Electrotherapy is used in a very specific way. Veritas physiotherapist will pick the right type of treatment based on what you need whether it’s to relieve deep pain or to help a weak muscle get stronger.
Pain Blocking (Analgesia)
Low-frequency currents activate the nerves that help you feel things, which can block the pain signals going to your brain. This gives you quick relief and lets you do mobility exercises comfortably.
Muscle Re-Education & Strengthening
Stronger electrical currents stimulate the nerves that control muscles, causing them to contract. This is important in physiotherapy because it helps the brain reconnect with muscles that have become weak due to a stroke, an injury, or not being used for a long time.
Tissue Healing & Circulation
Certain electrical currents help increase blood flow. This helps clean out waste and brings important nutrients to injured areas, which speeds up healing.
Advanced Electrotherapy Treatments Offered at Veritas.
We are dedicated to offering the best physiotherapy to help you recover. We make sure to provide the right electrical treatment you need for a quick and complete recovery.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): The most common form of electrotherapy in physiotherapy, used primarily for temporary but effective pain relief in chronic conditions like arthritis and nerve pain.
IFT (Interferential Therapy): Utilizes two medium-frequency currents to penetrate deeper than TENS, making it highly effective for deep muscle spasms, joint stiffness, and chronic swelling.
NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation): This powerful therapy is essential for neurological rehabilitation. It helps re-establish the nerve-muscle pathways after a stroke or spinal injury, actively preventing muscle wasting (atrophy).
FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation): A sophisticated NMES technique where the pulse is precisely timed to assist a specific function, such as lifting the foot during the swing phase of walking (gait training).
Choose Veritas for Your Electrotherapy Treatment
Your electrotherapy is always given and watched by trained physiotherapists. They make sure it works well with your other treatments, like hands-on therapy and exercise, to help you get the best results.
Customized Protocols: We don’t use factory settings. Your therapist customizes the current type, frequency, and intensity based on your detailed assessment and continuous response.
NABH Accredited Safety: All electrotherapy treatments are conducted within the strict safety and quality standards of our NABH-accredited hospital facility.
Integrated Recovery: For our neuro-rehabilitation patients, we often combine NMES/FES with our robotic gait trainers to immediately reinforce the new muscle activity into functional movement patterns.
