Can be defined as the treatment of a patient by electrical means. Electrical forces are applied to the body, bringing about physiological changes for therapeutic purposes.

1. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator

A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, more commonly referred to as a TENS unit, is an electronic device that produces electrical signals used to stimulate nerves through unbroken skin. It modulates the sensation of low back pain by overriding the painful signals that are sent to the brain.

2. Ultrasound

Ultrasound equipment generates high frequency sound waves that are transferred to a specific body area via a probe. The sound waves travel deep into tissues (e.g. muscles) creating gentle heat.

The deep heat helps to relieve pain, inflammation, reduces muscle spasms, and accelerates healing.

3. Stimulation

Muscle Stimulator provides both faradic and galvanic currents.These may be used specific to patient conditions to reduce muscle spasm, re-educate inhibited muscles and alleviate pain.A very useful adjunct in the treatment of back pain.
