ELECTRO THERAPY

• Pain management
  • Improves range of joint movement
• Treatment of neuromuscular dysfunction
  • Improvement of strength
  • Improvement of motor control
  • Retards muscle atrophy
  • Improves local blood flow
• Improves range of joint mobility
  • Induces repeated stretching of contracted, shortened soft tissues
• Tissue repair
  • Enhances microcirculation and protein synthesis to heal wounds
  • Restores integrity of connective and dermal tissues
• Acute and chronic edema
  • Accelerates absorption rate
  • Affects blood vessel permeability
  • Increases mobility of proteins, blood cells and lymphatic flow
• Peripheral blood flow
  • Induces arterial, venous and lymphatic flow
• Iontophoresis
  • Delivery of pharmacological agents
• Urine and fecal incontinence
  • Affects pelvic floor musculature to reduce pelvic pain and strengthen musculature
  • Treatment may lead to complete continence

Electrotherapy is used for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention and retardation of disuse atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and re-education electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic and intractable pain, post-traumatic acute pain, post surgical acute pain, immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, wound healing and drug delivery.
