Shcherbak Galvanic Collar

Shcherbak galvanic collar is a device developed by the Soviet physiotherapist and neurologist Alexander Efremovich Shcherbak (1863-1934) for the treatment of various diseases of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system.

The collar is a structure made of metal plates that are connected to each other using screws. It is placed around the patient's neck and secured to the head and chest. During the treatment process, the collar is connected to a source of electric current, which affects the patient's tissues and organs.

Alexander Efremovich Shcherbak was one of the first researchers who began to study the effect of electric current on the human body. In 1895, he conducted the first experiments on the effects of electricity on the muscles and nerves of animals. In 1902, he developed the first electric collar for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases.

In 1911, Alexander Efremovich Shcherbak began using electric current to treat people. He developed several types of electric collars that were used to treat various diseases. One of them is the Shcherbakov galvanic collar.

The Shcherbakov galvanic collar was used to treat many diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It helped improve blood circulation in tissues and organs, reduce pain and inflammation, and stimulate tissue repair.

Today, Shcherbakov's galvanic collars are used in physiotherapy rooms and rehabilitation centers for the treatment of various diseases, such as osteochondrosis, arthritis, radiculitis, neuralgia and others.
