FAQs: Understanding Healing Technology and Energy Modalities at PhysioActive
-
Should I come for both therapy and laser? Yes, research shows that combining healing technologies like laser and radial shockwave therapy (RSW) with manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises leads to better outcomes. The synergy between these modalities enhances the body’s natural healing processes, allowing for faster recovery and more lasting results. -
How do modalities like laser, RSW, PEMF, and electrotherapy work? These modalities work by introducing external energy into your body, which is then converted into biological energy that your cells can use. This process enhances cellular respiration and boosts the function of mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. As a result, your body improves blood supply to the affected area, accelerates waste removal, and enhances overall tissue repair and regeneration. -
How often should I come for treatments? For modalities like laser, Bioflex, and magnetic biostimulation, we usually recommend coming 3 times per week. This frequency ensures that the energy treatments are effective and that your body remains in a healing state. Depending on your condition, you may also visit your therapist once a week to combine these modalities with hands-on care. -
Why is laser therapy recommended for my condition? Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair. By stimulating cellular activity and improving circulation, it promotes faster healing of injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-surgical recovery. -
How does radial shockwave therapy (RSW) help with pain and injuries? Radial shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps break down scar tissue, making it an effective treatment for conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic muscle pain. -
What is PEMF therapy and how does it work? PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. By enhancing the function of your cells, PEMF therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes, improves circulation, and helps relieve pain and swelling. -
Is electrotherapy safe and effective? Yes, electrotherapy is a safe and effective treatment used to manage pain, reduce muscle spasms, and promote tissue healing. By sending electrical impulses through the affected area, it stimulates nerve activity and helps improve muscle function and blood flow. -
Can these modalities help with chronic conditions? Absolutely. Modalities like laser, PEMF, and RSW are particularly beneficial for chronic conditions where traditional therapies alone may not be sufficient. They work by enhancing the body’s ability to heal itself, making them a valuable addition to your treatment plan for long-term pain relief and functional improvement. -
How quickly can I expect results from these treatments? While some patients may notice improvement after the first few sessions, most experience significant benefits within a few weeks. The speed of recovery depends on the severity of the condition, consistency of treatments, and how well your body responds to the therapy. -
Are these treatments covered by insurance? Coverage for these modalities varies depending on your insurance plan. It’s a good idea to check with your provider to see what is included. Our team can also help guide you through the process and provide any necessary documentation for your claims. -
Can I combine multiple modalities in one session? Yes, combining modalities like laser, PEMF, and manual therapy in one session can enhance the overall effectiveness of your treatment. Our therapists will tailor your session to your specific needs, ensuring you get the most benefit from each modality.
