Electrotherapy involves:

• Interferential therapy.
• Ultrasound.
  • High frequency sound waves that cause vibration and warmth within the healing tissue and helps to speed recovery.
• Muscle stimulation.
  • Electrical current applied to muscle to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, enhance muscle function.
• Computer biofeedback.
  • Electrical sensors which detect muscle activity and provide feedback to improve muscle control/contraction.
• Laser, shortwave diathermy etc.
