Electrotherapy Well-being currents

What is electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a form of physical therapy that uses low-frequency electric currents to treat muscle problems, inflammation and neurological issues. Electrotherapy devices offer a non-invasive and safe way to relieve pain and help injuries heal.
What is electrotherapy used for?

Main indications

Electrotherapy is particularly effective in treating joint and muscle pain. By applying electrodes to the affected area, electric currents stimulate nerves and muscles, improving blood circulation and relieving pain. It is often used to reduce pain associated with arthritis, sports injuries, sprains and strains.

Electrotherapy can be used to reduceinflammation and swelling in various parts of the body. Electric currents can help reduce the production of inflammatory substances, increase blood flow and promote lymphatic drainage, thus helping to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.

Electrotherapy is often used in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological problems, such as a stroke, paralysis or spinal cord injury. Through electrical stimulation, it is possible to reduce muscle spasticity, improve muscle control and promote the recovery of motor functions.

Electrotherapy plays an important role in physical rehabilitation. Electric currents can be used to stimulate weakened or atrophied muscles, improve muscle strength, increase joint mobility and promote the repair of damaged tissue. It is particularly useful during the recovery process after surgery or in the case of sports injuries.

What is TENS?

TENS currents

A valuable ally against pain
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is a therapy without side effects that relieves various types of muscle and joint pain. TENS programmes aim to treat acute and chronic pain related to musculoskeletal problems.
The decrease in pain is linked to three factors: the gate control theory, endorphin secretion and different sedative effects in relation to frequency
1/3
Gate Control Theory

The ‘gate’ theory suggests that by artificially stimulating touch, pain perception can be blocked. TENS in continuous or modulated mode creates touch-like signals, overwhelming the pain signals.

2/3
Endorphin secretion

Endorphins, the body’s natural opioids, reduce pain by blocking neurotransmitters. TENS increases the production of endorphins, thereby reducing the perception of pain.

3/3
Different effects in relation to frequency

Depending on the frequency, there may be immediate but short-term antalgic effects (higher frequencies) or more progressive but also long-term effects (low frequencies).

How to place the electrodes

We have created a guide specifically designed to help you during your therapies at home. Inside you will find a detailed explanation on the use of electrotherapy and a series of photographs showing how to correctly position the electrodes on the various parts of the body. For more detailed information on the treatments, please refer to the user manual supplied with your device.

Clinical electrotherapy studies

Satoshi Hasegawa, Masahiko Kobayashi, Ryuzo Arai, Akira Tamaki, Takashi Nakamura, Toshio Moritani

Published online: 18 February 2011

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of muscle electrostimulation in addition to the standard rehabilitation protocol, in muscle recovery after ACL surgery.

PROTOCOL
20 minutes of stimulation, 5 times a week for 4 weeks.

RESULTS

 

CONCLUSIONS
The use of muscle electrostimulation after ACL surgery helps prevent muscle atrophy by improving strength and fibre thickness.

Jan Magnus Bjordal, Mark I Johnson, Anne Elisabeth Ljunggreen

Published online: 18 February 2003

OBJECTIVE
To carry out an analysis of reviews in literature to investigate whether TENS can reduce the consumption of painkillers after surgery.

PROTOCOL

RESULTS

 

CONCLUSIONS
– The meta-analysis showed strong evidence that TENS reduces postoperative pain with lower analgesic intake during the first 3 days after surgery.
• The most successful parameters were with 85 Hz frequency and medium-high stimulation intensity.

Published online: 5 July 2013

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of vaginal electrical stimulation performed at home in the treatment of urinary incontinence.

PROTOCOL
20-30 minutes of electrostimulation per day, 5 days a week for 10 weeks.

RESULTS

 

CONCLUSIONS
– The patients’ satisfaction rate was very high and the treatment was well tolerated. These factors, combined with the fact that the therapy can be carried out at home, makes electrostimulation one of the preferred interventions in the treatment of female urinary incontinence.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of microcurrents in the healing of chronic wounds (venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores).

PROTOCOL
20 minutes three times a day for a duration to be evaluated according to
re-epithelialisation.

RESULTS

CONCLUSIONS
Photo A. Venous ulcer (size 11×6.9 cm) in the left lower limb, persistent for more than 5 years.
Photo B. After only 4 weeks of microcurrent treatment the wound healed with complete re-epithelialisation
