Modalities
Modalities are physiotherapy tools that may be incorporated into a treatment plan. They provide local pain relief without the use of medications. Dr. Miron uses the following modalities in practice:
TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Using TENS stimulates a neurohormonal response in the body causing the release of endorphins and enkephalins. These are natural hormones in the body that relieve pain.
