Professional electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a form of physical therapy used in rehabilitation that employs low-frequency electric currents to treat muscle problems, inflammation and neurological issues

Electrotherapy Therapeutic currents

What is electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a form of physical therapy used in rehabilitation that employs low-frequency electric currents to treat muscle problems, inflammation and neurological issues. Electrotherapy devices offer a non-invasive and safe way to relieve pain and promote healing of injuries.
1/4
Muscle and joint pain

Electrotherapy is particularly effective in treating muscle and joint pain. By applying electrodes to the affected area, electric currents stimulate nerves and muscles, improving blood circulation and relieving pain. It is often used to reduce pain associated with arthritis, sports injuries, muscle tears and strains.

2/4
Inflammation and swelling

Electrotherapy can be used to reduceinflammation and swelling in various parts of the body. Electric currents can help reduce the production of inflammatory substances, increase blood flow and promote lymphatic drainage, thus helping to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.

3/4
Neurological problems

Electrotherapy is often used in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological problems, such as stroke, paralysis or spinal cord injury. Through electrical stimulation, it is possible to reduce muscle spasticity, improve muscle control and promote the recovery of motor functions.

4/4
Rehabilitation

Electrotherapy plays an important role in physical rehabilitation. Electric currents can be used to stimulate weakened or atrophied muscles, improve muscle strength, increase joint mobility and promote the repair of damaged tissue. It is particularly useful during the recovery process after surgery or in the case of sports injuries.

Clinical electrotherapy studies

Published online: 18 February 2011

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of muscle electrostimulation in addition to the standard rehabilitation protocol, in muscle recovery after ACL surgery.

PROTOCOL
20 minutes of stimulation, 5 times a week for 4 weeks.

RESULTS

 

 

CONCLUSIONS
The use of muscle electrostimulation after ACL surgery helps prevent muscle atrophy by improving strength and fibre thickness.

Published online: 18 February 2003

OBJECTIVE
To carry out an analysis of reviews in literature to investigate whether TENS can reduce the consumption of painkillers after surgery.

PROTOCOL

RESULTS

 

 

 

CONCLUSIONS
– The meta-analysis showed strong evidence that TENS reduces postoperative pain with lower analgesic intake during the first 3 days after surgery.
• The most successful parameters were with 85 Hz frequency and medium-high stimulation intensity.

Published online: 5 July 2013

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of vaginal electrical stimulation performed at home in the treatment of urinary incontinence.

PROTOCOL
20-30 minutes of electrostimulation per day, 5 days a week for 10 weeks.

RESULTS

 

CONCLUSIONS
– The patients’ satisfaction rate was very high and the treatment was well tolerated. These factors, combined with the fact that the therapy can be carried out at home, makes electrostimulation one of the preferred interventions in the treatment of female urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of microcurrents in the healing of chronic wounds (venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores).

PROTOCOL
20 minutes three times a day for a duration to be evaluated according to the
re-epithelialisation.

RESULTS

 

CONCLUSIONS
Photo A. Venous ulcer (size 11×6.9 cm) in the left lower limb, persistent for more than 5 years.
Photo B. After only 4 weeks of microcurrent treatment the wound healed with complete re-epithelialisation
