Your Recovery Starts At Allied Wellness Centers
PT Modalities stands for physical therapy modalities, a term that describes the various energy-based and mechanical methods and treatments used by physical therapists to help ease muscle strain, provide pain relief, and administer medicine. PT is a central part of our pain management services at Allied Wellness Centers in Waco, TX. We offer the equipment and give you expert-crafted plans tailored to address your condition so that your pain can become a thing of the past.
Our Physical Therapy Modalities include:
Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
Transcutaneous nerve stimulation, most commonly referred to as TENS, is a variation of the E-stim modality. This treatment involves mild electric currents delivered by a small, battery-operated device that can be utilized without a physical therapist. The sensation from the electric current manages the discomfort a patient feels by interrupting the pain signal being sent to the brain. TENS can be used to manage chronic and acute pain, as well as muscle spasms.
COLD/ICE
The opposite of heat therapy, cold or ice therapy is commonly used to reduce inflammation and decrease blood flow in a specific area during the acute healing phase. Cold therapy can effectively decrease swelling in muscles and injured joints. Often, cold or ice therapy will start with a form of heat therapy to warm up muscles and increase mobility before therapeutic exercise. The cold or ice therapy will then follow these exercises to help reduce inflammatory responses and swelling.
Electrical Simulation
Electrical stimulation, or E-stim, is a PT modality that involves attaching electrodes to the patient’s skin and sending pulses of electricity with an adjustable rhythm. E-stim increases blood flow, strengthens muscles and disrupts pain signals, stimulating the release of endorphins. This results in pain reduction and improved comfort for ailing muscles, and is particularly helpful for those who experience muscle spasms regularly.
