LASER is an acronym for the words light amplification stimulated emission radiation. The treatment unit may combine a helium-neon laser that produces the red light beam at 630nm with an infrared laser at 940nm. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is applied...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to excite the nerves for therapeutic constancies. We will connect the TENS unit to the skin using two or more electrodes. We usually use TENS...

The basic rule of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to employ the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without unpleasant side effects. Recently, many ‘portable’ interferential units have become easily available. Despite their size, they can...

Paraffin Wax Bath: Paraffin Wax Bath is an automatic heating unit that holds low melting wax at a constant temperature ready for use (40°c-44°c). It mixes wax and liquid paraffin in the proportion of 7:1. Paraffin wax bath is a common heat...

A blood glucose meter is also known as glucometer is a device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. It can also be a strip of glucose paper dipped into a substance and quantified to the glucose chart. It...

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin for a few minutes to engender suction. It is used for many purposes, including pain reliever, increase blood flow, inflammation, relaxation,...

Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is the therapeutic application of the high frequency of the alternating current that produces electromagnetic energy and provides deep heating in joints and soft tissues. High-frequency electromagnetic energy passes through the patient’s body and absorbed by...

We also know ultrasound as ultrasonography a diagnostic imaging technique based on the application of ultrasound. It is utilized to visually perceive internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, internal organs, and vessels. Its aim is often to find...

A  CT (computed tomography) scan is a computer-processed combination of many X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing to see inside the object without cutting. Types of CT scan...

Microwave Diathermy (MWD) is a means of producing therapeutic heat in the tissues by the absorption and conversion of electromagnetic radiation in the form of a microwave band of frequencies. The wavelength of the MWD is between infrared radiation (IRR)...
