Using technology to reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function.
At Shireen Sundrani Physiotherapy Services, we offer a range of electrical modalities as part of your personalized treatment plan. These are non-invasive therapeutic tools that use gentle electrical energy to support pain relief, muscle activation, and tissue healing.
Common Electrical Modalities We Use:
1. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
- Provides pain relief by stimulating nerve endings
- Often used for back pain, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery
2. IFC (Interferential Current Therapy)
- Penetrates deeper into tissues than TENS
- Helps with muscle spasms, swelling, and chronic pain
3. Ultrasound Therapy
- Uses sound waves to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation
- Commonly used for soft tissue injuries, sprains, and tendinitis
4. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
- Helps strengthen weak muscles or prevent muscle atrophy
- Often used after surgery or injury when movement is limited
5. Paraffin Wax Therapy
- Paraffin Wax Therapy is a warm, soothing treatment used to relieve joint stiffness, muscle tension, and pain, especially in the hands and feet. It improves circulation, eases arthritis symptoms, and helps soften scar tissue. Ideal for relaxation and increased mobility, it’s often combined with physiotherapy exercises for better results.
6. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
- Stimulates targeted muscles to improve motor control and muscle strength
- Especially useful in post-stroke rehab or neurological cases Russian
7. Russian Currents
Russian Currents are a type of electrical stimulation used to strengthen muscles, especially after injury, surgery, or during rehabilitation. They deliver medium-frequency electrical impulses that trigger strong, controlled muscle contractions — helping to improve muscle tone, prevent atrophy, and speed up recovery.
Ideal for post-operative care, sports rehab, or weak muscles due to inactivity.
Benefits of Electrical Modalities:
- Drug-free pain management
- Reduces inflammation and swelling
- Speeds up tissue repair and recovery
- Improves blood flow and muscle activation
- Enhances the overall effectiveness of your physiotherapy plan.
