Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that promotes soft
tissue healing and pain relief.
Tiny electrical impulses are placed over the injured tissue and the waves intersect below the skin to create a low frequency stimulation. This stimulation promotes the body's secretion of endorphins, nature's pain relievers.
The patient experiences a "pins and needles" sensation while the
current works to reduce pain, decrease local swelling, promote
muscle tone, restore normal movements and accelerate the healing
process.
