Pain Management Service of the PT & Rehab
In addition to Acupuncture, the traditional Chinese method for reducing pain, the Lorma PT & Rehab uses other modalities in the treatment of pain. Shockwave Therapy is a new non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain. Shockwave energy leads to biological responses such as bone and tendon repair, improved blood supply and tissue regeneration. High Intensity Laser Therapy actually involves the use of laser to treat injured tissues. It heals the tissue, while providing a powerful and non-addictive form of pain management. Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy distributes high frequency electromagnetic energy into the desired tissue which leads to athermic effects (edema reduction and anti-inflamatory effect) and thermic effects (intense pain relief, muscle relaxation, and supporting tissue regeneration and healing). The most common indications treated using these modalities or a combination of them include: painful shoulder, low back pain, golf elbow, tennis elbow, Achilles tendon pain, muscle spasm, post traumatic edema to name a few.
