Generally speaking, electrotherapy reduces pain, eliminates swelling and calms inflammatory processes.

The electrodes are placed on the targeted zone, resulting in the following physiological effects:

​

•  vasodilatation (spreading of blood vessels)

•  hyperemia (redness of the skin with the presence of heat)

• improved exchange of metabolic substances and normalized pH

• reduced irritability of nocyceptors, i.e., the sensitive receptors, thus reducing pain)

• accelerated tissue healing

• increased muscle contraction

 

Modern computerized electrotherapy devices enable precise use of therapeutic modality (stable electrophoresis, drug electrophoresis, diadynamic currents, interferent currents, TENS, electrostimulation) for all diseases that respond well to this type of treatment.
