Autoimmune & Inflammatory Condition Treatment at Physiocare

Evidence-Based Therapies We Offer

Ondamed (PEMF Biofeedback)

• Uses electromagnetic pulses matched to your body’s frequencies to reduce inflammation at the cellular level
• Particularly effective for systemic conditions like fibromyalgia and lupus
• Non-invasive approach that calms overactive immune responses
• Patients often report decreased pain and improved energy after treatment sessions

Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT)

• Delivers gentle electrostatic impulses that penetrate deep into inflamed tissues
• Reduces swelling and promotes lymphatic drainage without causing pain
• Especially beneficial during flare-ups when touch sensitivity is high
• Accelerates tissue healing while calming inflammatory responses

Red Cord Therapy (Neurac)

• Suspension system that allows pain-free movement retraining during active inflammation
• Rebuilds functional strength without stressing inflamed joints
• Restores neuromuscular control that inflammation disrupts
• Helps patients regain confidence in movement despite ongoing symptoms

Myofascial Release

• Addresses fascial restrictions that develop from chronic inflammation and protective guarding
• Gentle, sustained pressure releases tissue tension without triggering flare responses
• Improves circulation and reduces referred pain patterns
• Complements other therapies by preparing tissues for movement

Cupping Therapy

• Creates negative pressure that enhances blood flow to inflamed areas
• Releases fascial adhesions and reduces muscle tension
• Chinese Cupping provides relief without the pressure sensitivity issues of traditional massage
• Particularly helpful for fibromyalgia and widespread pain conditions

Graston Technique (IASTM)

• Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization breaks down scar tissue and fascial restrictions
• Promotes tissue remodeling in areas affected by chronic inflammation
• Graston Technique helps restore normal tissue texture and function
• Applied with careful pressure modulation during sensitive periods

Laser Therapy

• Photobiomodulation reduces pain and inflammation at the cellular level
• Accelerates healing in damaged tissues affected by autoimmune processes
• Laser Therapy provides relief without medications or invasive procedures
• Effective for both acute flares and chronic symptom management

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

• Electrical impulses interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain
• Provides immediate pain relief during flare-ups
• Helps reduce medication dependence for pain management
• Can be used at home between therapy sessions

IFC (Interferential Current)

• Deeper penetrating electrical therapy that reduces inflammation and muscle spasm
• Stimulates circulation to promote healing in affected tissues
• Particularly effective for joint pain and stiffness
• Complements manual therapy approaches

Acupuncture

• Traditional approach that modulates pain perception and reduces inflammation
• Acupuncture helps regulate immune system responses
• Addresses both physical symptoms and stress-related flare triggers
• Evidence supports the effectiveness for various autoimmune-related pain conditions

DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization)

• Restores optimal movement patterns disrupted by chronic pain and inflammation
• Retrains core stability that deteriorates during prolonged illness
• Helps prevent compensatory movement patterns that create additional problems
• Builds resilience against future flare-ups

How Physiotherapy Helps Manage Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions

Physiotherapy addresses the multiple dimensions of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions through targeted interventions. Treatment reduces pain and inflammation while improving mobility and function despite ongoing disease processes. Evidence-based techniques help regulate immune responses, break pain cycles, and restore confidence in movement. Patients learn self-management strategies that reduce flare frequency and minimize the impact of symptoms on daily life.
