Electrotherapy
10 Min.Gentle electrical impulses for pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved circulation
Electrotherapy
In electrotherapy, gentle electrical impulses are transmitted to the affected body region via electrodes. Depending on the type of current and frequency used, the treatment targets different areas: it can be used for pain relief, relaxation of tense muscles, stimulation of weakened muscles, and promotion of blood circulation and tissue metabolism. Our device has two independent channels, allowing a wide range of treatment options.
Simultaneous Method – Combined Electro- and Ultrasound Therapy
A special feature of our practice is the option of simultaneous treatment: electrotherapy and ultrasound are applied at the same time. Through this combination, electrical impulses can penetrate deeper into the tissue with the support of ultrasound heat. This method is particularly used for functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, such as myofascial complaints like tension and hardened muscles.
Overview of Application Areas
Our electro- and ultrasound therapy can be used for: pain in muscles, joints, and spine; muscular tension and hardening; circulatory and metabolic disorders in tissue; and as accompanying support during rehabilitation measures.
Both therapy forms are individually tailored to your complaints and carried out under expert guidance using certified medical equipment. Please note that there are contraindications that will be clarified during a preliminary consultation.
