Treatment uses direct current and low- and medium-frequency pulsed currents. Among electrotherapeutic procedures, we can distinguish electrostimulation, which involves inducing muscle contraction using pulsed currents.
Tens current
is used to relieve pain of various origins: chronic muscle pain, neuralgia, degenerative joint changes, spinal pain syndromes, post-traumatic and post-operative pain, phantom pain after amputations, migraine, radicular pain, menstrual pain.
Trabert current
It has analgesic effects, reduces muscle tension, and improves circulation.
Kotz Current
. Primarily used for motor stimulation, this current can produce a rapid and significant increase in strength in the stimulated muscle.
Interference Currents
They have an analgesic effect, stimulate skeletal muscle contraction, reduce sympathetic nerve tension, and improve circulation and tissue nutrition.
Diadynamic Currents:
A treatment involving the use of low-frequency currents, in the form of "pulsed currents." The treatment utilizes a number of their therapeutic properties: reduction of muscle tension, pain relief, local tissue hyperemia, and increase in muscle mass.
Galvanization
is used in the treatment of neuralgia, chronic inflammation of the nerves, peripheral circulatory disorders, difficult bone unions, and pain syndromes associated with degenerative spine disease.
Iontophoresis
This procedure involves the introduction of medication through the skin into deeper tissues using an electric field. It is recommended as an analgesic treatment for degenerative disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries, osteoporosis, and overuse syndromes.
Electrostimulation is
an electrotherapeutic procedure designed to induce controlled contraction of a muscle or muscle group. Typical indications for electrostimulation include muscle atrophy following joint immobilization or paralysis. The procedure is also widely used in neurological conditions where the conduction of nerve impulses to muscles is impaired.
Tonolysis is
an electrostimulation method whose primary function is to restore physiological balance in muscle fiber excitation. It is used for central nervous system dysfunctions that result in spastic muscle paralysis. The alternating action of flexor and extensor muscles, induced by current flow, leads to the restoration of reflex mechanisms and the restoration of physiological balance in paralyzed muscles. Indications for the procedure include conditions following brain injuries and strokes, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and functional torticollis.
A referral is required for treatments.
