Knee ligaments are strands of connective tissue that interconnect the bones associated with them and are closely aligned with elastic fibers. In a sense, it is a relatively fragile part. If the knee is not well protected, it is easy to breed a series of diseases. After the ligament is pulled, there will be local swelling, pain, tenderness, and subcutaneous bleeding, which can be seen as bruising.

Sometimes the injured person can hear the sound of ligament tearing.
ELITEMED RT700 IFT physiotherapy device
Two or three sets of intermediate frequency currents of different frequencies are cross-input to the human body and a low-frequency current is generated after interference occurs in the body. This current is called interference current. The method of applying interference current to treat diseases is called interference electric therapy, which originated in the 1950s.
RT700 IFT physiotherapy device does work for diseases below:
knee osteoarthritis • cervical spondylopathy • protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc • Adjuvant treatment of lumbar muscle strain • Limitation of upper and lower limbs • Analgesic and anti-inflammatory • Bone and joint diseases, sequelae of stroke • Circulatory disorders, fractures • Enhance visceral smooth muscle
