Understanding Tissue Pain And Injury

A soft tissue injury is damage done to a ligament, tendon, muscle or nerve. An injury can be the result of a traumatic force applied to the body, or the product of overuse at a specific body part during everyday activities. Whether the injury was caused by a single bout or repeated stress, the final result is pain and tissue damage.

Symptoms of a Soft Tissue Injury:

• Pain, swelling, redness, bruising, decreased range of motion, tenderness, and an inability to apply pressure to the site injury.

• There are three degrees to a soft tissue injury and pain:

- First Degree (mild): Stretching, micro-tearing and mild pain

- Second Degree (moderate): Partial tearing and moderate pain

- Third Degree (severe): Severe or complete tearing and significant pain

Most people suffering from chronic muscle pain, joint stiffness and cartilage degeneration, have been living with the pain for a long time, but are unaware of newer treatment options to stop the pain fast and accelerate the tissue healing process. Many resorted to taking drugs like painkillers or muscle relaxants to manage their pain and inflammation, or frequent massages to relax their tight muscles, which will often  relieve their symptoms for only a short time.

Their pain problems will usually persist or even worsen. Some may avoid activities like work, sports or entertainment, resulting in a poor quality of life. Some have difficulty getting a good night’s sleep. As a result, they may feel discouraged or frustrated. In addition, some may also feel it is ‘part’ of normal life to experience pain when a person ages. Often, patients may have given up trying to treat the pain.

Breakthrough In Tissue Repair Treatments:

The Pain Relief Practice is one of the few  physiotherapy clinics in Singapore which offer advanced pain treatment technologies to achieve rapid pain relief and accelerated tissue repair .

Our highly-trained licensed physical therapists provide you with the most functional results with our TISSUE REPAIR PAIN TREATMENT PROGRAM.

1) Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (Alpha Stimulation)

Microcurrent therapy represents the  vast improvement in electrotherapy for pain management. Electrotherapy has been used since 1967 to treat pain. Microcurrent is the latest technical innovation to succeed TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

Microcurrent involves the application of small amounts of current, usually less than one milliampere (1,000 microamperes) to treat the pain problem and heal soft tissues of the body. Injury to the body disrupts its normal electrical activity. Microcurrent Therapy produces electrical signals like those naturally occurring when the body is repairing damaged tissues. By applying similar electrical currents, the healing process is enhanced.

The electrical current used in Microcurrent Therapy is so small that it is rarely felt and very comfortable treatment. It is often recommended in cases involving muscles spasms, tissues inflammation, tissues damaged or torn. Microcurrent Therapy can help speed the healing process, reduce pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, release muscle trigger points and improves soft tissues repair and regeneration.

 

2) Low Level Laser Therapy

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) penetrates deep into the tissues, transforming a cell from unstable/unhealthy condition. The cells begin to produce energy (ATP), which improves their function, assists their division, strengthens the body’s immune system and causes the secretion of various hormones to heal damaged cells. If damaged cells have died, laser therapy stimulates new tissues growth, improve quality and tensile strength in tissue repair.

 

 

3) Polarised Light Therapy

Polarized light therapy is a revolutionary Swiss technology that penetrates deeply to the soft tissues for pain reduction and promotion of tissue repair.

It improves micro-circulation, harmonizes metabolic processes, and reinforces the body’s defense system.

Tissue Repair Program is a step by step specialised advanced physical therapy tissue repair program. Our goal is to help you relieve your pain as quickly as possible, and to ensure that it doesn’t return with healing of your tissues. That’s why we developed our unique Tissue Repair Program for fast healing of your pain, repair of damaged tissues.
