Aviation medical assessment
This therapy uses electrical pulse to mainly treat soft tissue injuries and pain. In addition electrotherapy is seen to be useful in the improvement of blood circulation, increasing muscular strength, promoting bone growth, improving the overall physical functioning. In our clinic we use mainly three modes of electrotherapy such as electroporeal shockwave therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)and interferential current (IFC). In electroporeal shockwave therapy is used for the treatment of tendon injuries (achilles tendinopathy and tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis).Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is used to relief pain in soft tissues injuries such as arthritis, low back pain, nerve related pain (phantom pain).Interferential therapy uses two high frequency currents, which are sent together through the skin at the same time. This produces low frequency stimulation deep under the skin. This application is used to treat pain relief, muscle stimulation, enhancing local blood flow, and reduction of oedema.
