More... At BackInHealth we do not believe that patients come to us just to be “plugged into a machine”. We purely use Interferential therapy and Ultrasound to complement our osteopathic techniques. We recognise that electrotherapy is often a very useful addition to our regular osteopathic treatment and where appropriate it is used in addition to soft tissue massage and joint manipulation. In some instances these machines cannot be used such as with patients who have pacemakers fitted or who may be pregnant. Naturally we screen patients during our case history taking and examination to ensure suitability to the different forms of treatment we offer. The Interferential causes a comfortable and some would say “reasonably pleasant” tingling sensation as it relaxes muscles and encourages improved circulation to the affected or painful area. The Ultrasound causes vibrations beneath the skin which are too fast to be noticeable ... put simply; there is usually no sensation at all. Very occasionally the patient can experience a subtle buzzing and a gentle warming sensation. Site designed and managed by LionFish Design (C) 2009
