Manual therapy and specific exercises are part of physiotherapy. It is common to use mechanical devices, such as traction, electro-physical modalities such as heat, cold, electricity, sound waves, and radiation, as well as assistive devices to treat patients. However, we assist the patient according to the different types of physiotherapy which is suitable for their treatment.

The application of Physiotherapy is constantly evolving in two very important fields: Neurology and Orthopedics.

Conditions that are managed by Physiotherapy:

Arthritis
This condition is caused by inflammation of one or more joints. A physiotherapist can provide education, coping strategies, physical fitness programs, and assistive device recommendations as part of a rehabilitation program.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It is caused by a compression of a nerve in the wrist that causes numbness, tingling, and pain. But Physiotherapy helps manage carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve may need to be surgically repaired if it is severely damaged.

Concussion
It is caused by traumatic brain injury. It can be difficult to tell whether someone has suffered a concussion. Before going for physiotherapy, it needs to be evaluated properly.

Frozen Shoulder
A frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful, disabling condition caused by inflammation and stiffness of the shoulder capsule, which gradually limits the movement of the shoulder. A higher risk of developing it is present in diabetics and people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Golfer’s Elbow
The condition occurs due to an inflammation of the tendons which connect the forearm to the elbow. A bony bump on the inside of the elbow causes pain, which may radiate into the forearm as well.

Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches usually occur on one side of the head; they originate in the neck and spread to the front. The most common cause of a cervicogenic headache is excessive stress on your neck and spine, often caused by bad posture or repetitive strain on the neck muscles.

Low Back Pain
It is possible for the low back to be painful due to conditions that affect the bony lumbar spine, discs between vertebrae, ligaments surrounding the spine and discs, spinal cord and nerves, low back muscles, pelvic and abdominal organs, and the skin covering the lower back.
The right physiotherapy course can reduce the pain as well as cure the condition.

Neck Pain
Most neck pain is caused by muscle strains or soft tissue sprains (ligaments, tendons), but it can also be caused by sudden forces. It is common for these types of neck pain to improve with time and non-surgical care, such as physiotherapy. In the case of persistent or worsening neck pain, there is often a specific condition that needs to be addressed.

Sciatica
The pain is caused due to the Sciatic nerve pain that radiates along its path. Sciatica can cause severe pain, but most cases resolve within a few weeks with conservative treatment.

Sports Injuries
Athletes and exercisers may suffer injuries during athletic activities. But the treatment of sports injuries can be provided by physiotherapists, and strategies and as well as education can be provided to prevent injuries from occurring in the future.
