TENS: TENS is a form of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation through the skin, which is used to obtain electroanalgesia i.e. relief of pain with the help of electric stimulation.

IFT: It is the production of low frequency current in the body tissue by the simultaneous application of two different medium frequency currents.

US: Ultrasound is a method of stimulating the tissues beneath the skin surface using very high frequency sound waves, between 0.5 to 5MHz, which can not be heard by humans.

Traction: Traction is the application of a longitudinal force to the spine & associated structures. It can be applied with continuous and intermittent tension.

SWD: Short Wave Diathermy is most commonly used physiotherapeutic modality for deep heating. The meaning of diathermy is heat given through an object and not confined to that object. For Short Wave Diathermy, high frequency current with a frequency of 27.12MHz and 11meters wavelength is used.

IRR: Infra red rays are electromagnetic waves with wavelength of 750 to 4,00000nm.Infra red rays are also called as thermiogenic rays since these rays produce heat when they are absorbed by the body tissue so they are included under Phototherapy.

UVR: Ultra violet rays are invisible rays with wavelength between 10 to 400nm. Although UV rays are emitted by sun, but for physiotherapeutic treatment purpose UV generators produce them.

HMP: Hot moist pack is one of the superficial heating agent used for thermotherapy. In this therapy the hot water is used in different manners like towels soaked in hot water, hot water bottles and hot water vapors etc.
