Physiotherapy and shockwave therapy can really help with knee pain. Physiotherapy involves exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve flexibility. It also includes massages and stretches to reduce inflammation and make the knee feel better. Shockwave therapy uses special sound waves to help the knee heal faster and reduce pain. These treatments together can make a big difference, helping you move better and feel less pain in your knee.

Shockwave therapy offers several benefits, including pain relief, improved mobility, and accelerated healing. It works by delivering high-energy sound waves to affected areas, stimulating blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration. This non-invasive treatment can effectively address conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle injuries, helping patients recover faster and return to their daily activities with reduced discomfort. This can be done on major pain points such as back, foot, arms and shoulders.

Remember, the key is to find activities that you enjoy so that staying active becomes a fun and sustainable part of your daily routine. It's also important to listen to your body, start slowly if you're new to exercise, and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new fitness regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

As a Physiotherapist, we always remind our patients to be active and include exercises in your daily routine to prevent muscle pain, joint pain, etc.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machines have revolutionized the field of physiotherapy by offering a non-invasive and drug-free method of pain relief.

What is a TENS Machine?

A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that delivers low-voltage electrical currents to the body via electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical currents stimulate the nerves, which can help alleviate pain and improve muscle function.

The TENS machine has become an invaluable tool in physiotherapy, offering patients a safe, effective, and drug-free option for managing pain. Whether used as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy treatment plan or for ongoing pain management at home, TENS machines continue to play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for many individuals.

In Proactive Healthcare, we offer different treatment modalities, including TENS Machine and shockwaves. Visit our clinic to experience our first-hand treatment and care.

💢 Piriformis syndrome
▪️It is a condition in which the piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve, causing symptoms of sciatica into the lower extremity.
▪️Normally, the sciatic nerve exits from the internal pelvis into the buttocks between the piriformis muscle and the superior gemellus muscle.
▪️However, approximately 10% to 20% of the time, part or all of the sciatic nerve either exits through the piriformis, or above it, between the piriformis and the gluteus medius.
▪️Regardless of the relationship of the piriformis and sciatic nerve, if the muscle is tight enough, the nerve may be compressed, resulting in sciatica.
▪️This condition is often said to cause “pseudo sciatica”; however, this term does not make sense and shows a bias toward bony or disc impingement on the nerve.
▪️If compression of the sciatic nerve occurs and symptoms of sciatica are experienced, then regardless of the cause, it can be correctly termed sciatica.

💠 Mechanism and causes
▪️The piriformis muscle can become tight due to overuse.
▪️The piriformis acts as a lateral rotator of the thigh at the hip joint as well as a contralateral rotator of the pelvis at the hip joint
(contralateral rotation of the pelvis occurs when planting the foot and pivoting to change directions during sports).
▪️The piriformis is also functionally important
toward stabilizing the sacrum at the sacroiliac joint and stabilizing the hip joint.

💠 Management
▪️Because piriformis syndrome is a condition of muscular origin, it makes sense that it will respond well to soft tissue manipulation.
▪️Moist heat, massage, and stretching are all very beneficial.
