Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment most commonly prescribed for muscle and joint conditions. It uses a high-frequency electric current to stimulate heat generation within body tissues. The heat can help with various processes, including: increasing blood flow. relieving pain.
One of the most common forms of electrical stimulation used for pain management is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy, which provides short-term pain relief. Electrical nerve stimulation and electrothermal therapies are used to relieve pain associated with various conditions, including back pain.

There are two main types of ultrasound therapy: thermal and mechanical. Both use sound waves generated by a transducer head (which looks a bit like a microphone) to penetrate soft tissues. The difference between the two types of ultrasound therapy is the rate at which the sound waves penetrate the tissues.
Thermal ultrasound therapy. Thermal ultrasound therapy uses a more continuous transmission of sound waves. The sound waves cause microscopic vibrations in the deep tissue molecules, increasing heat and friction. The warming effect encourages healing in the soft tissues by increasing the metabolism at the level of the tissue cells.
Mechanical ultrasound therapy. Mechanical ultrasound therapy uses pulses of sound waves to penetrate tissues. While this still has a minor warming effect on the tissues, it also causes expansion and contraction in the tiny gas bubbles of the soft tissues. This helps to decrease the inflammatory response, reducing tissue swelling and thus decreasing pain.
Compression therapy is designed to improve the signs and symptoms of various conditions by providing graduated compression therapy to help control swelling and discomfort. They are designed to provide support to assist with circulation, and minimize swelling.
Thermography studies are non-invasive imaging techniques that are intended to measure the skin surface temperature distribution of various organs and tissues.

Plethysmography, a semiquantitative method of measuring segmental blood flow and velocity in the carotid and peripheral vascular systems.
Range of motion is the measurement of movement around a specific joint or body part. ... A physical therapist can test your range of motion. This may begin with a simple physical exam, but can also include the use of a goniometer – an instrument that tests the angle of joints such as your elbow or knee
Grip and pinch strength testing is the standard method used for decades to determine functional grasp and pinch strength. The tests are used initially and in periodic retests to demonstrate improvement in the strength available to grasp or pinch.
One issue that often arises after an injury is the question of impairment. Impairment is a problem that affects the functioning of a part of the body and makes someone unable to use their body the same way they did before the accident or injury. It can include physical impairments or mental impairments caused by injury or illness. Impairments can be permanent or temporary, severe or mild. Impairments – and the way they are evaluated – can affect a person’s ability to perform their work and can therefore have a big impact on benefits, compensation and any claims.
