Physiotherapy devices are tools to relieve pain and relieve inflammation, so that they can be use to treat all kinds of joint pain, arthritis, muscle cramps, etc. These devices are non-invasive and have unparalleled effectiveness. In general, physical therapy is a branch of paramedical science that focuses on reducing pain, improving speed of return to normal life, improving mobility, managing chronic conditions, and controlling nerve pain.
Types of physiotherapy devices
Various types of physical therapy devices transmit controlled electric current to muscles and muscles by special pads. These devices pass the electric current through the surface of the skin and deliver it to the nerve to restore its normal function. This method in physiotherapy is called electrotherapy, which is the basis of the operation of various physiotherapy devices. In the following, we will explain the devices that work based on this technology.
Shockwave device
The Shock Wave device in physiotherapy uses sound waves to open muscle knots. The energy transferred from the shock wave has a short wavelength and high and low pressures at the same time. This device transmits a sudden pressure change to the patient’s tissue. This change in pressure occurs at a very high speed and it is as if a shock enters the tissue.
Magnet device
The magnet device is one of the best physiotherapy devices that have a significant effect on the body’s immune cells and blood circulation. The treatment by this device leads to the creation of a magnetic field in the damaged tissue. This process ultimately reduces inflammation and pain.
Laser
The laser device in laser therapy has wide applications in the field of physiotherapy. Laser therapy is a modern medical treatment that uses a light beam with a specific wavelength to stimulate tissue healing and treat pain and inflammation in a non-invasive way. The laser beam is focus on the affected area; Right where the light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the tissues. As a result, biological responses are stimulate and the patient recovers.
Two types of lasers are widely used in physiotherapy: low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT).
How do physiotherapy devices work?
The function of many physiotherapy devices is based on sound waves, electromagnetic field and creating heat and vibration. In this article, which was about the complete information of all types of physiotherapy devices, we have completely reviewed all the devices of this paramedical field. Now you can start the proper treatment of your problems and pains with sufficient knowledge.
Do physiotherapy devices have complications?
Of course not. Physiotherapy device does not cause any complications if it is performe by a reliable and experienced physiotherapist. But if the physiotherapist uses the wrong device for the patient’s pain and problems, the treatment method will probably have low or moderate side effects for the patient.
