PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR PAINS

PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR PAINS: Pain is a signal in your nervous system that something may be wrong. It is an unpleasant feeling, such as a prick, tingle, sting, burn, or ache. Pain may be sharp or dull. It may come and go, or it may be constant Physiotherapists have a range of methods they can choose from to help reduce pain and inflammation. They can as well improve your endurance, strength, and range of motion as you rehab from a musculoskeletal injury or movement dysfunction.

Heat application, electrical stimulation, traction, and massage are for different stages of  recovery from pain.

Physiotherapy is often one of the best choices you can make when you have long-term pain (also called chronic pain) or an injury. It can make you stronger and help you move and feel better. Typical physiotherapy includes numerous targeted workouts and pain relief stretches .

EXERCISE

The different approaches of treating muscle pains include: Self-stretching – Exercises are an essential part of the treatment process. Physiotherapists assist you with stretches that are likely to be helpful for your injury.

Exercise is a physical stress under control that we apply to the body to help improve strength, range of motion, or flexibility. Exercise can be passive or active

Passive exercise is one that requires you to simply relax while another person, like a physical therapist, applies the stress. One example of this is a hamstring stretch where a person lifts your leg to elongate the hamstring muscle on the back of your thigh.

Active exercise is exercise that you perform under your own power. Walking on a treadmill, hip strengthening exercises, or straight leg raising exercises are all active exercises.

Additionally, If you attend physiotherapy clinic, at home, or while in the hospital, you will engage in some form of exercises to help improve your mobility. The home program is a group of exercises that you perform on your own. They can be very important to helping you return to normal function.

HEAT

Physiotherapists can apply moist heat or hot packs to your body if you have an injury or after physical therapy exercises. The heat helps to increase circulation to the injured tissues, relax the muscles, and provide pain relief. The hot pack is usually put on the injured body part for 15 to 20 minutes.

Other methods that physiotherapists use include massage, cold therapy, etc
