Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based physiotherapy technique used to manage pain, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue healing. At Realign Rehab Clinic, we offer personalized electrotherapy in Faridabad, using modalities like TENS, IFT, ultrasound therapy, and laser therapy. Supervised by Dr. Vaishali Suri (P.T.), our treatments help patients recover faster from injuries, post-surgical pain, arthritis, and neurological conditions.
What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy involves the use of controlled electrical or sound wave energy to stimulate muscles, nerves, and soft tissues. It helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and restore function by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
Types of Electrotherapy We Offer:
- TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): For pain modulation and nerve stimulation.
- IFT (Interferential Therapy): Deep tissue stimulation for chronic pain and muscle spasms.
- Ultrasound Therapy: Uses sound waves to penetrate tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
- Laser Therapy (LLLT): Non-thermal light therapy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce pain.
Each modality is selected based on your condition, tolerance, and therapeutic goals.

How Electrotherapy Works
Different electrotherapy devices work in various ways, but all aim to:
- Block pain signals to the brain
- Improve blood flow and oxygen supply
- Reduce inflammation and edema

Treatments are typically short (15–30 minutes), painless, and safe when performed by trained physiotherapists.
