What are Electrotherapy Services?
Electrotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that uses non-invasive electrical stimulation modalities to manage pain, reduce swelling, accelerate tissue healing, and stimulate muscles. It is a highly effective treatment method commonly used alongside active exercise programs to target acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Our clinic at Physio One is equipped with advanced, medical-grade electrotherapy systems. Under the professional assessment of Dr. Akash Singh PT, specific electrical currents or sound waves are matched to your diagnosis. This helps block pain signals, increase local blood circulation, relax tense muscle groups, and prepare tissues for therapeutic exercises.
