Treatment Techniques of Orthopaedic Physiotherapy

Manual Therapy: It is used to decrease pain and restore joint mobility and movements by using some techniques like mobilization, manipulation, soft tissue release and various types of stretching and strengthening for the affected muscles.

Electrotherapy: Various electric modalities are used to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting circulation, and enhancing tissue regenerative abilities for the healing process. The electric modalities used are Ultrasonic therapy, TENS, Interferential Therapy (IFT) Muscle stimulator, Heat Packs and many more.

Dry Needling: An invasive medical technique involving the insertion of fine needles into trigger points of tight muscles to facilitate pain relief and healing.

Taping: Taping is a technique used to provide joint support and alignment to ease pain and facilitate normal movement.

Cupping Therapy: An ancient technique of applying special vacuum cups on the tight muscles to increase blood flow and enhance muscle function and growth.

Rehabilitation Exercises Program: Tailor-made and graded home exercises designed to improve posture, enhance spinal and joint mobility, and strengthen supporting muscles-a crucial aspect of the recovery journey.
