Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a treatment method that involves passing an electrical current through body tissue to stimulate the nerves and muscles located there. This method is used to improve muscle condition in patients suffering from various forms of paralysis due to nerve or muscle diseases.

Electrotherapy includes methods such as faradization (treatment with low-frequency pulsed current) and galvanization (exposure to direct current). These methods allow you to stimulate the contraction of weakened or paretic muscles, improve their trophism and blood circulation.

Thus, electrotherapy is an effective method of treatment and rehabilitation for various neurological and orthopedic diseases accompanied by muscle weakness and impaired motor function.

Electrotherapy is a treatment method that uses electrical current to pass through body tissue to stimulate the nerves and muscles located there. This method is widely used to improve the condition of muscles in patients suffering from various forms of paralysis due to any nervous or muscular disease.

Electrotherapy includes methods such as faradization (treatment with pulsed low-frequency currents) and galvanization (exposure to direct current). The use of electrotherapy stimulates neuromuscular conduction, improves blood supply to tissues, and has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Electrotherapy is widely used in rehabilitation after injuries, strokes, muscle atrophy, as well as in sports medicine. Correct use of this method allows you to achieve good results in restoring motor functions.

Electrotherapy is the treatment of electricity, usually using electrodes but sometimes using other electrical devices such as an electrical stimulator, in which an electrical current is passed through tissue. In this case, electrical impulses pass directly to the tissues of the body, stimulating nerve and muscle conduction, function and volume. Such treatment methods are used for certain patient conditions. Electrotherapy is indicated for:

Paralysis, damage to tendons, bones, muscles and nerves, circulatory disorders arising from diseases related to the peripheral nervous system. Also in the treatment of diseases of the endocrine gland system; vascular diseases of the limbs and peripheral parts of the body; damage to the shoulder joint or shoulder.

For various problems in cosmetology, such as skin care or cellulite. Contraindications to the use of electrotherapy are circulatory and coagulation disorders. The procedure is contraindicated for any inflammatory diseases in the affected area, tumors, purulent processes, ulcers, bleeding, increased body temperature above normal, tuberculosis, severe and benign heart disorders. There must be a complete absence of allergies to all drugs used. After electrotherapy, soft tissue swelling occurs within three days, so it is strictly forbidden to wear tight clothing and tight shoes.

SMT therapy is widely used in physiotherapeutic treatment due to the ease of mastering the technique. A simplified method involves inserting two electrodes into the muscle with a hand that directs the current along the muscle fibers. Stimulation of the deep and superficial muscles of the arm passes through a current of lower frequency (average frequency - up to 60 Hz), a second tone - a second, lower frequency (up to 80 Hz). The therapy does not cause serious complications. It is one of the most effective methods of rehabilitation and treatment of dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system and peripheral system. A pronounced effect is achieved by using high frequency currents (2-4 kHz), which control the hypertrophy of the arm muscles and increase their strength. One of the parameters that influences the result is the density index, which directly affects microcirculation in tissues, helps to enhance regeneration and speedy treatment of tendon ligaments and muscle damage. The procedure has a minimum of contraindications, differs little from the classic one, and is offered by leading professionals at the Moscow Assuta clinic.
