Electrophysical agents
Myofascial release is a soft tissue method that provides removal of adhesions and tissue tension in tissues due to overload and repetitive use. These adhesions and unbalanced tissue tensions in the tissues can cause muscle weakness, numbness, pain, tingling and burning sensation. The soft tissue is palpated by the physiotherapist and pressure is applied directly to the skin until the tissue barrier is felt in the direction of restriction. Once the tissue barrier is present, it is applied for 90-120 seconds, without slipping on the skin or forcing the tissue, until the fascia complex begins to loosen and a softening sensation is achieved.
Evidence levels for approaches commonly used in the clinic for the treatment of chronic low back pain were generally very low to moderate. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is the most preferred application in the treatment of chronic pain in patients who receive conventional treatment in the clinic. TENS is a physiotherapy modality used to inhibit pain by stimulating the sensory nerves by applying a low frequency electrical current.
