Interventions

DEVICEpulsed electromagnetic field therapy

PEMF is regarded as an efficient physical therapy method that has been utilized clinically to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions, including delayed union and nonunion of fractures. According to studies, PEMF has been authorized for its biological effects, which include the mineralization of bone matrix, osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, and osteoblast proliferation

DEVICETranscutanous electrical nerve stimulation

Electrical stimulation consider a safe and cost-effective method for pain management. It has no side effects and few contraindication in addition to no drug interaction . According to studies ,electrical stimulation decreases pain through reducing central transmission of pain signals because of nociceptive inhibition at the presynaptic level in the dorsal horn.
