For the majority of people, shoulders and elbows are the most frequently used joints in the body. This is particularly true for all people involved in physical work and athletes of all ages. Overuse of joints affects their everyday life and, if left unattained, often transfers to the back and neck area, causing pain. Luckily, there are physiotherapy modalities to help shoulder and elbow-related pain problems. 

Practically all types of physiotherapy modalities have shown excellent results in shoulder and elbow pain relief. Ultrasound, electric stimulation, heat or ice therapy, traction, light therapy, or paraffin are different types. The physiotherapy specialist determines the treatment after an initial assessment. The underlying condition that causes your pain can vary significantly from one case to another. That means that the therapy that will bring the best results needs to be determined based on your situation.

Another great thing about physiotherapy modalities is that they can be combined to obtain faster and longer-lasting effects. Once again, the specialist will decide on the best performing combination, the sequence of the modalities, and the overall duration of the therapy.
