Modalities for Pain Relief

Modalities are specialized therapeutic techniques prescribed by DOC physical therapists, which are integrated into a comprehensive treatment program. In addition to therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and other common treatment methods, modalities utilize sound waves, heat, mechanical, electrical, and light energy to create changes in tissues for therapeutic purposes.

DOC orthopedic physical therapy specialists use a variety of modalities to reduce pain and inflammation, facilitate healing and restore function.
