Physio Reforms, Physiotherapy Clinic in Pune, offers treatments for various conditions

Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is used to relax and soothe the muscles. It induces blood flow to the affected area and helps in faster healing. It gently massages the muscles, tendons and/ or ligaments and also helps in reducing inflammation.

It involves stimulating the tissue with very high frequency sound waves. The waves are transmitted by applying a transducer directly to the skin. A gel is spread on the surface to reduce friction and to facilitate better transmission of waves. It is an absolutely painless treatment and does not involve any discomfort to the patient.

Interferential Current Therapy (IFT)

Interferential Current Therapy (IFT) is a modality that is typically used for pain relief. An electrical current stimulates the nervous system to interrupt the pain signals felt by the brain. It also allows to stimulate deeper tissue and helps increase circulation. IFT is generally used for neurological pain caused by nerve impingement.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) can act selectively upon a single muscle or a group of muscles by making them contract. This can be help in muscle strengthening, as well as in maintenance of muscle mass and strength during periods of prolonged immobilization, for example after being in a cast due to a fracture.

Along with increasing muscle strength, the contraction of the muscle also helps to promote blood supply to the area, thus helping in the healing process.

Short-Wave Diathermy (SWD)

This is a non-invasive technique that uses electromagnetic energy to promote healing within the affected area. The treatment is used in a variety of conditions including swelling, osteoarthritis, and muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries.

Manual therapy

This is a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific hands on techniques instead of machines, for joint mobilization and manipulation. It is mainly used for modulating pain, increasing range of motion (ROM) ,reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation, inducing relaxation, improving contractile and non contractile tissue repair, joint stability, facilitating movement and improving function.

Acupuncture

An alterative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), Acupuncture involves thin needles that are inserted into the body at acupuncture points. The science belives that “ Qi ” or energy flows through channels called Meridians. These Acupuncture points are located on the Meridians . Needling these points helps the Qi to flow smoothly. Acupuncture is commonly used for pain relief, though it is also used for a wide range of conditions
