Electrotherapy
Safe and effective electrotherapy treatments using electrical signals to interfere with pain transmission, relieve discomfort, and promote faster healing. Our clinic offers ultrasound, TENS, and IFT modalities for various acute and chronic conditions.
What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy treatment that uses controlled electrical signals and currents to treat pain and promote tissue healing. At Complete PhysioCure, we utilize several electrotherapy modalities including Therapeutic Ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation; TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), which blocks pain signals from reaching the brain; and IFT (Interferential Therapy), which uses medium-frequency currents for deeper penetration and effective pain relief. These treatments are safe, non-invasive, and can be highly effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
