Electrotherapy With GLOBUS VET
In veterinary rehabilitation and physiotherapy, electric current is used for two basic purposes: for the reduction of pain perception and for muscle stimulation.
The analgesic action is promoted by electricity through membrane hyperpolarisation by using the 'gate control' principle.

The advantages of veterinary electrotherapy
Fast pain reduction
Denervated muscle stimulation
Easier functional recovery
Prolonged analgesic effect
Against pain
Analgesic electrotherapy (TENS)
Analgesic currents (better known as TENS) are indicated in the symptomatic treatment of peripheral pain. They are particularly effective in the management of pain that accompanies most inflammatory processes and in osteoarthritis
For muscle mobilisation
Neuromuscular electro-stimulation (NMES)
Electric current is able to promote muscle contraction both by acting on the motor neuron and on the muscle itself. Electrotherapy stimulation targets both normally innervated and denervated muscles.
Although it does not replace movement in neuromuscular reactivation, electrotherapy is a useful complement, as it is one of the few aids that allows interaction with muscle tissue in a way that differs from passive mobilisation.

TENS and NMES indications
- Post-operative pain from cosmetic surgery
- Post-operative pain from spinal surgery
- Pain from osteoarthritis
- Pain from discopathy
- Pain from lumbo-sacral stenosis
- Pain from Wobbler Syndrome
- Increased range of motion
- Reduced muscle contracture
- Neurological disuse atrophies/hypomyotrophies
- Orthopaedic disuse atrophies/hypomyotrophies
- Muscle strengthening for post-operative recovery
- Denervated muscle stimulation
- Improved joint stability
