Advanced electrotherapy treatments that use targeted electrical and acoustic energy to reduce pain, stimulate tissue healing, and accelerate recovery — non-invasive, evidence-based, and highly effective.
Some conditions — deep-seated nerve pain, chronic tendon inflammation, post-surgical swelling, or muscle spasm — require treatment that goes beyond hands-on therapy. Electrotherapy delivers precise therapeutic energy to the affected tissue at a depth and specificity that is not achievable by manual techniques alone. It is particularly effective as a complement to manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation — reducing pain sufficiently for the patient to engage in the active rehabilitation that produces lasting recovery.
Electrotherapy is a category of physiotherapy treatment that uses controlled electrical, ultrasonic, or shock-wave energy to treat pain and promote tissue healing. Our clinic is equipped with a full range of electrotherapy modalities — selected and applied by qualified physiotherapists based on your specific diagnosis and stage of recovery. We never apply electrotherapy as a standalone treatment; it is always integrated into a comprehensive physiotherapy programme that includes manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation.
Low-voltage electrical stimulation that interrupts pain signals and stimulates the release of endorphins — providing drug-free pain relief for both acute and chronic pain conditions.
High-frequency sound waves delivered to deep soft tissue to promote cell repair, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue extensibility — effective for tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries.
Extra Corporeal Shock-wave Therapy delivers high-energy acoustic pulses to chronic tendon conditions, plantar fasciitis, and calcific tendinitis — stimulating healing in tissue that has become chronically degenerative.
High-intensity therapeutic laser that penetrates deep tissue to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling at a cellular level — with zero downtime and no side effects.
Motorised joint mobilisation used post-operatively — particularly after knee replacement — to maintain range of motion and prevent stiffness during early healing.
Warm paraffin wax therapy for joint stiffness, arthritis, and post-fracture rehabilitation of the hands, wrists, and feet — improving circulation and reducing pain.
Deep tissue heating for chronic musculoskeletal conditions — promoting tissue repair, reducing muscle spasm, and improving joint mobility through therapeutic thermal energy.
Experience targeted, evidence-based treatment designed to relieve pain, restore movement, and improve your overall physical wellbeing — with a programme built around your specific condition.
Reaches nerve and tissue pain that surface treatments cannot — IFT, TENS, and laser therapy reduce deep pain from the very first session.
Ultrasound therapy and shockwave therapy stimulate cellular repair in damaged tendons, ligaments, and muscles — significantly reducing recovery time compared to rest alone.
IFT and ultrasound reduce post-surgical and acute injury swelling — enabling faster transition to active rehabilitation and preventing the stiffness caused by prolonged inflammation.
Electrotherapy reduces pain sufficiently to allow manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation to be applied at the intensity needed for full recovery — the combination produces superior outcomes.
Every recovery journey is different. Here is what our patients say about their experience at New Age Rehab.
Have questions about Electrotherapy Equipment? Here are the most common queries — to help you understand what to expect and how this treatment works.
Yes — when applied by a qualified physiotherapist. All electrotherapy modalities at New Age Rehab are applied by trained clinicians following evidence-based protocols. Contraindications — such as pacemakers, metal implants at the site, or pregnancy — are screened before every session.
Most electrotherapy treatments produce only a mild tingling or warmth sensation. Shockwave therapy may cause brief discomfort during the session, particularly in chronic tendon conditions — but this is tolerable and indicates the therapy is reaching the target tissue.
Typically 6–10 sessions depending on the condition. Acute conditions may respond in 4–6 sessions; chronic conditions such as calcific tendinitis may require 8–12 sessions of shockwave therapy. Your physiotherapist will review and adjust based on your progress.
Yes — specific modalities are used post-operatively. CPM is used immediately after knee replacement. IFT is used to manage post-surgical swelling. Laser and ultrasound support soft tissue healing after surgical repair. Electrotherapy is always selected based on the specific surgical site and stage of healing.
IFT uses medium-frequency alternating current and penetrates deeper — making it more suitable for deep joint and muscle pain. TENS uses low-voltage stimulation and works at the nerve level to interrupt pain signals — more suitable for surface pain and chronic pain management.
Shockwave therapy can cause discomfort during the session, particularly on the first 2–3 treatments. The discomfort is temporary and typically resolves within 24 hours. Many patients report significant pain relief in the days following the session.
