Pain management, rehabilitation, manual therapy, electrotherapy, exercise therapy, evidence-based practiceAbstract
The practice of pain management stands fundamental in physiotherapy because it impacts both patient recovery process and treatment success rate and life quality results. The present approach of physiotherapy uses multiple techniques which include hands-on treatments and electric stimulation devices and exercise rehabilitation methods to help reduce pain. The research investigates modern physiotherapy pain management strategies with emphasis on pain physiology and new treatment practices and their performance outcomes. This paper examines both evidence-based practices and multidisciplinary cooperation strategies for addressing distinct pain conditions.
