Electro Modality
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
​​
Uses low-frequency currents to stimulate the skin's surface. Mechanisms of Action TENS works on two theoretical pain models: the Gate Control Theory and the Endorphin Release Theory.
In the Gate Control Theory, TENS is believed to stimulate non-painful sensory nerve fibers, which carry their signal faster than pain fibers. This effectively “closes the gate” in the spinal cord’s dorsal horn, preventing the transmission of pain signals to the brain. In the Endorphin Release Theory, TENS is thought to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which bind to opiate receptors in the brain to reduce the perception of pain.
Interferential Current Therapy (ICT)
​​​​
​Uses medium-frequency currents that penetrate deeper into the tissue. ICT is stronger than TENS and can deliver higher currents. ICT can use multiple applicators in different planes to treat complex areas like the shoulder.

-
Pain relief
ICT can help with chronic pain, especially pain from musculoskeletal issues. It works by sending small amounts of electrical stimulation to damaged tissues, which can help prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.
​
-
Tissue repair
ICT can help with tissue healing and can decrease inflammation and muscle spasms.
Ion Cooler Therapy
​
This treatment uses alternating temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius and -15 degrees Celsius to induce muscle contraction and relaxation. It relieves pain and reduces inflammation in the affected area, helping damaged tissue recover.

Ultrasound (Sonic)
​
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to penetrate soft tissues, increasing blood flow and promoting healing. It is used to relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, and break up scar tissue from various conditions, including tendonitis, strains, and arthritis. The therapy can have both thermal (heating) and non-thermal effects, which stimulate cell repair and inflammation in the affected area.​​​
Treatment
​
-
Soft Tissue Injuries: Commonly used for conditions like tendonitis, muscle strains, sprains, ligament injuries, and frozen shoulder.
-
Pain Management: Can help with low back pain, neck pain, and other soft-tissue-related discomfort.
-
Muscle and Joint Issues: Addresses muscle spasms, joint contractures, and inflammation of the bursa (bursitis).
Other Medical Applications
​
-
​Kidney Stones: Focused ultrasound can be used to break down kidney stones through a process called lithotripsy.
-
Varicose Veins: Techniques like ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy can treat varicose veins.
-
Neurological Conditions: Focused ultrasound (FUS) can target specific brain regions, as seen in the treatment of essential tremor.
