Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a well-established method in physiotherapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, nerves, and tissues. The therapy helps relieve pain, accelerate healing processes, and improve muscle function. It is safe, effective, and widely applicable for various conditions.

Electrotherapy

Target muscles, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy

Electrotherapy affects:

  • Muscles: Improves contractility, restores tone, and reduces spasms.
  • Joints and tendons: Relieves inflammation and pain.
  • Nervous system: Stimulates nerve endings to improve functionality.
  • Connective tissue: Enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, supporting healing processes.

Electrotherapy uses different types of currents (galvanic, interferential, TENS, etc.), which are adjusted according to the individual needs of the patient. The procedures are painless and cause minimal discomfort. It is recommended for:

  • Tendinitis, bursitis, myositis
  • Muscle spasms and stiffness
  • Lumbar pain (lower back pain)
  • Cervical pain and tension headaches
  • Restoration of muscle tone
  • Pain reduction and prevention of adhesions
  • Peripheral neuropathies and radiculitis
  • Nerve recovery after injuries
  • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Spondylosis and herniated discs

Benefits of combining physiotherapy with electrotherapy:

  • Rapid pain relief
  • Restoration of muscle tone
  • Stimulation of the nervous system
  • Improved circulation
  • Comfort and safety

Advantages and adaptation in electrotherapy treatment:

  • Pain relief: Reduces pain signals and relaxes tense muscles.
  • Muscle stimulation: Improves strength and elasticity of muscle fibers.
  • Improved circulation: Increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to affected areas.
  • Safety and comfort: Non-invasive procedure, suitable for all ages.
  • Combination with other therapies: Effective part of rehabilitation and physiotherapy programs.
