Electrotherapy uses electrical energy to stimulate muscles and nerves, promoting pain relief, muscle strengthening, and faster recovery.

Types of Electrotherapy

Common uses: Ideal for post-surgery recovery, sports injuries, and muscle rehabilitation.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

What it does: Delivers low-voltage electrical currents to block pain signals and stimulate the release of endorphins (natural painkillers).

Benefits: Reduces acute and chronic pain, improves blood circulation, and accelerates healing.

Common uses: Used for conditions like back pain, arthritis, and muscle soreness.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)

What it does: Uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, helping strengthen muscles and improve muscle tone.

Benefits: Enhances muscle strength, improves muscle endurance, reduces muscle atrophy, and speeds up rehabilitation after injuries.

Benefits of Electrotherapy

• Pain Relief: Reduces muscle pain, inflammation, and discomfort.
• Improved Muscle Function: Enhances muscle strength, endurance, and coordination.
• Faster Recovery: Speeds up healing of injured muscles and tissues.
• Increased Circulation: Helps increase blood flow, promoting healing and reducing stiffness.

Electrotherapy in Physiotherapy

Electrotherapy is commonly used by physiotherapists to treat conditions such as:

Muscle weakness and atrophy.

Sports injuries and muscle strains.

Chronic pain conditions like arthritis or back pain.

Post-surgical rehabilitation.

Safety & Effectiveness
Safe and non-invasive when administered by trained professionals.
Provides targeted relief with minimal to no side effects.
