Electrical stimulation

***Electrical stimulation*** is a physical therapy method in which electrical current is introduced into body tissue to stimulate muscle and nerve function. This therapy is less invasive than other physical therapy methods such as massage or ultrasound therapy.

The use of electrical stimulation has many advantages: - Muscle tone and elasticity increases, spasticity decreases, contraction strength increases; - Improves blood circulation in tissues; - Neuromuscular transmission is restored; - Pain decreases; - Patient activity increases, quality of life improves.

The use of electrical stimulators is accompanied by a significant reduction in treatment costs. Electrical stimulators are also used to treat chronic diseases in people with limited physical capabilities, such as after a stroke or injury. Often used for the rehabilitation of patients after resection of joints and spine.

There are several types of electrical stimulation, which differ in the method of influence and purpose: - Pulse electrical stimulation, which is used to treat anxiety and depressive conditions, as well as to improve sleep; - Transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain using implanted microstimulators; - Stereotactic transcranial microstimulation helps restore speech, motor functions and partially vision. - Magnetic therapy is used to restore the functioning of the nervous system and improve blood circulation;

In addition to therapeutic purposes, electrical stimulation is also used in cosmetology. For example, to improve skin texture, fight wrinkles, and prevent skin aging. In general, electrical stimulation has become widely used due to its effectiveness and ease of use.
