Service Overview

What this pathway is designed to solve.

This service is for cases where selected modalities can support symptom reduction, tissue irritability management, or progression into more active rehabilitation. It is not positioned as a replacement for loading and rehab, but as a useful part of the wider plan.

Used properly, pain modalities can create a better window for exercise, reduce short-term aggravation, and help patients progress through a more comfortable early or mid-stage recovery phase.

FAQs

Common questions about electrotherapy & pain modalities.

These answers cover what patients usually ask before starting this pathway and how it is commonly progressed over time.

Are modalities the main treatment in this service?

Usually not. They are most useful when they support a broader plan that also includes exercise, movement progression, and clinical reassessment.

Does this include shockwave therapy?

Yes. Shockwave therapy is part of this category and can be used where the presentation fits a modality-led pain-management strategy.

Can this help before I start more active rehab?

Yes. This pathway can help create a more comfortable starting point for movement, loading, and a later rehabilitation phase.

Is this only for chronic pain?

No. Modalities can be relevant in both earlier and longer-standing cases, depending on the tissue behaviour and the overall treatment strategy.
