ELECTROTHERAPY
Electrotherapy is a major factor in physiotherapy for analgesia (pain relief) and muscle strengthening. Electrical currents penetrate the skin to treat (analgesic currents) or enhance (stimulation currents) muscle tone in atrophic muscles of various etiopathogeneses using specialized electrodes (metallic, silicone, probe/stylus, suction) of various dimensions.
Depending on the condition and specific parameters (such as the wave form of the electrical stimulus, its duration, rest time, frequency, and intensity), electrical current can offer great results in the targeted treatment areas by contributing to:
- Pain reduction
- Enhancement of muscle tone for muscle building and maintenance
- Stimulation of blood circulation
- Neural stimulation—for example, re-educating innervation and treating paralysis
- Muscle relaxation (relieving muscle spasms)
- Iontophoresis (with galvanic current)—an outdated method, as the physiotherapy field now utilizes Shift Molecolare III, which successfully delivers active drug ingredients into the tissue at rates of up to 96%
