• Ultrasound Diathermy reduces muscle pain, relaxes muscles, decreases inflammation, and improves blood circulation.
• Spinal Traction Used on the cervical and lumbar spine to relieve certain conditions caused by nerve compression due to reduced disc space, degeneration, or herniated discs.
• Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) : Using low-intensity electrical currents to stimulate sensory nerves through the skin, helping alleviate pain, numbness, and abnormal sensations.
• Electrical Stimulation Using electrical currents to stimulate muscles for various therapeutic purposes, depending on the muscle injury. It can help prevent muscle atrophy, reduce fibrosis, enhance nerve nutrition, retrain muscles in cases where tendons have been relocated, and reduce muscle spasms by stimulating opposing muscle groups.
• Hydrocollater Pack Using heat therapy to relieve bone and muscle pain, reduce joint stiffness, and relax superficial muscles and fascia.
• Paraffin Therapy, relieves pain and reduces tension in small joints, such as fingers and toes, by applying heat.
• Short-wave diathermy, uses heat waves to reduce pain and inflammation in muscles, tendons, and joints.
• Exercise equipment Assists patients with muscle weakness, hemiplegia, paraplegia, or   walking difficulties to regain strength and mobility.
