What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses electrical currents to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves different modalities, each targeting specific aspects of pain management and rehabilitation. The three primary forms of electrotherapy we offer are Interferential Therapy (IFT), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and Ultrasound Therapy.
Benefits of Electrotherapy
Patients receiving electrotherapy services at PHYSIOSTRA can experience a range of benefits, including →
- Pain Relief: Effective in alleviating acute and chronic pain conditions.
- Reduced Inflammation: Helps decrease swelling and inflammation in affected areas.
- Improved Muscle Function: Enhances muscle strength, coordination, and function.
- Accelerated Healing: Supports tissue repair and speeds up the recovery process.
- Enhanced Circulation: Promotes blood flow and improves overall circulation.
Components of Our Electrotherapy Services
Interferential Therapy (IFT):
- What is IFT? Interferential Therapy (IFT) uses medium-frequency electrical currents to penetrate deep into tissues. It involves applying electrodes to the skin to create an interference pattern of electrical impulses.
- Benefits: IFT is effective in managing pain, reducing inflammation, and improving muscle function. It is often used for conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries.
- How It Works: The electrical currents stimulate sensory nerves and muscles, helping to block pain signals and promote natural healing processes.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS):
- What is TENS? Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) involves the use of low-frequency electrical currents applied through electrodes placed on the skin.
- Benefits: TENS is used for pain management and is effective in treating conditions like chronic pain, neuropathic pain, and post-surgical pain. It helps to block pain signals and promote the release of endorphins.
- How It Works: The electrical impulses generated by TENS interfere with pain transmission pathways and stimulate the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Ultrasound Therapy:
- What is Ultrasound Therapy? Ultrasound Therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues. It involves applying a gel to the skin and using an ultrasound probe to deliver sound waves.
- Benefits: Ultrasound Therapy is effective in reducing pain, improving tissue healing, and increasing blood flow. It is commonly used for conditions such as muscle strains, ligament injuries, and tendinitis.
- How It Works: The sound waves generate thermal and non-thermal effects, including increased tissue temperature, enhanced cellular repair, and improved circulation.
