Description of Ultrasound Therapy

Electrotherapy Modalities include:

Ultrasound therapy is a treatment used in Physiotherapy that uses high-frequency sound waves to target soft tissues within the body. It is commonly used to help reduce pain, improve circulation, promote tissue healing, and decrease muscle tightness or spasm.

The treatment is non-invasive and is often used alongside exercise therapy and other physiotherapy techniques as part of a rehabilitation programme.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a pain-relief treatment that uses mild electrical impulses delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses help reduce pain signals reaching the brain and may also stimulate the release of natural painrelieving chemicals within the body.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) may be used to help manage a variety of painful conditions, including:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Sports injuries
  • Sciatica and nerve-related pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Post-surgical pain
  • Chronic pain conditions
  • Muscle spasm and tension

TENS is commonly used in physiotherapy to help manage both acute and chronic pain and is often combined with other rehabilitation treatments.
