Photobiomodulation/ Laser Therapy
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) is a fast-growing technology used to treat a multitude of conditions that require STIMULATION OF HEALING, RELIEF PAIN and INFLAMMATION, and RESTORATION OF FUNCTION photobiomodulation refers to the use of photons at a non-thermal irradiance to alter biological activity.
The main medical applications of LLLT are reducing pain and inflammation, augmenting tissue repair and promoting regeneration of different tissues and nerves, and preventing tissue damage in situations where it is likely to occur.
* The number of sessions for positive results, depends on the patient’s diagnostics and the phase of it.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is indicated for soft tissue injuries and may (or may not) be accompanied by other types of physical therapy treatments. Its action is aimed at REDUCING PAIN and INFLAMMATORY STATES, offering greater functional mobility and reducing patients’ recovery time.
Ultrasound therapy for Blocked Ducts and Mastitis
Blocked ducts can be defined as when “the breast has an area of localised milk stasis.” At times, this can result in Mastitis, an inflammation of the breast that may be due to blocked ducts. Mothers can also experience blocked ducts without severe breast engorgement or mastitis. Blocked ducts are associated with breast engorgement and may result in a localised tender breast lump or area of blushed colour, the breast may feel hot, and there may be a white, painful bleb on the end of the nipple.
Therapeutic ultrasound can help address the symptoms and treat mastitis and blocked ducts. It can also be associated with massage and lymphatic drainage. The average number of sessions needed are between 1 to 3 sessions.
Kinesiology Taping for Pregnancy and Postpartum
Kinesiology tape is an elastic textile, colourful adhesive tape, which is used to help/support muscle movement. It’s a thin, flexible tape that is meant to relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and provide support to joints and muscles. In special techniques it is applied to the skin and can be helpful for some complaints in pregnancy and postpartum.
– Back pain– Symphyseal complaints PSD or PGP– Diastasis recti– Scar tape for caesarean section– Breast blocked ducts and Mastitis
Kinesiology taping improves pain and IRD in women with postpartum LBP indicating increased facilitation of the abdominal muscles and thus kinesio taping along with abdominal exercises might act as an effective exercise protocol in its management.
