Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is one of the therapeutic techniques used in physical therapy. It uses low-frequency, low-intensity electrical current to stimulate nerve and muscle structures in the body. This technique is widely used in various medical conditions.

One of the main goals of electrotherapy is to reduce pain. Through the use of electrical impulses, electrotherapy can reduce various types of pain, including acute and chronic pain. It can also be beneficial in reducing swelling and inflammation, improving circulation and speeding up the healing process.

Electrotherapy also has a significant application in improving muscle function. Through electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), electrotherapy directly activates muscles, helping to preserve and improve muscle strength and function. This technique is often used in rehabilitation after muscle injuries or surgeries.

In addition, electrotherapy can also be used to improve nerve function. Electrical impulses stimulate nerve fibers, improving the flow of information between the nervous system and muscles. It is especially useful in conditions such as peripheral neuropathy or nerve injuries.

Electrotherapy can be used for the following conditions and disorders:

• Pain, including acute and chronic pain – headaches, muscle and joint pain, neuropathic pain and other types of pain conditions.
• Muscle disorders – after muscle injuries, muscle weakness, muscle imbalance, muscular dystrophy and other similar conditions.
• Neurological disorders – peripheral neuropathy, paresis or paralysis after a stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and other neurological disorders.
• Swelling and inflammation – electrical impulses help improve circulation, reduce swelling and speed up the healing process for injuries, surgeries or inflammatory conditions.
• Rheumatological disorders – arthritis, fibromyalgia and spondylosis.

These are just some examples of conditions in which electrotherapy can be applied. It is important that the therapy is carried out under the supervision of an expert physiotherapist or medical staff in order to select the appropriate technique and set the correct electrical stimulation parameters for each patient and their specific condition.

In the Chirofizikal clinic, electrotherapy is applied as part of a holistic approach to treatment and rehabilitation.
