- Electrotherapy is one of the most popular methods of physical therapy. The treatment process is based on the use of electrical energy, which exhibits powerful therapeutic effects. Electrotherapy is used for patients with acute or chronic pain to reduce muscle tension and soft tissue swelling. During the procedure, electrodes are applied to the patient, through which therapeutic currents - constant, modeled or pulsed at different frequencies - flow.
- Electrotherapy is recommended for people who are struggling with:
- discopathy,
- arthritis,
- chronic or severe pain in the spine,
- rheumatism,
- migraine and headaches,
- fractures or swelling.
- soft tissue inflammation.
- Electrotherapy relieves pain and inflammation, increases blood supply to tissues, stimulates nerves, and relaxes and improves muscle mobility. Therapeutic currents relieve neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms.
- The most commonly used electrotherapy treatments include galvanization, iontophoresis, electrostimulation, TENS currents, Kotz currents, Bernard currents, Nemec currents, Träbert currents.
