Globus Veterinary electrotherapy

Electrotherapy With GLOBUS VET

In veterinary rehabilitation and physiotherapy, electric current is used for two basic purposes: for the reduction of pain perception and for muscle stimulation.
The analgesic action is promoted by electricity through membrane hyperpolarisation by using the 'gate control' principle.

The advantages of veterinary electrotherapy

Fast pain reduction

Denervated muscle stimulation

Easier functional recovery

Prolonged analgesic effect

Against pain

Analgesic electrotherapy (TENS)

Analgesic currents (better known as TENS) are indicated in the symptomatic treatment of peripheral pain. They are particularly effective in the management of pain that accompanies most inflammatory processes and in osteoarthritis
1/2
Acute pain

  • post-surgical
  • acute injuries
  • inflammatory flare-ups

2/2
Chronic pain

  • osteoarthrosis
  • tendinopathies
  • muscle pain

For muscle mobilisation

Neuromuscular electro-stimulation (NMES)

Electric current is able to promote muscle contraction both by acting on the motor neuron and on the muscle itself. Electrotherapy stimulation targets both normally innervated and denervated muscles.

Although it does not replace movement in neuromuscular reactivation, electrotherapy is a useful complement, as it is one of the few aids that allows interaction with muscle tissue in a way that differs from passive mobilisation.
1/2
Normally innervated muscles

  • increased muscle tone and trophism
  • muscle strengthening

2/2
Denervated muscles

  • accelerated recovery
  • increased joint stability
  • greater range of motion

TENS and NMES indications

  • Post-operative pain from cosmetic surgery
  • Post-operative pain from spinal surgery
  • Pain from osteoarthritis
  • Pain from discopathy
  • Pain from lumbo-sacral stenosis
  • Pain from Wobbler Syndrome
  • Increased range of motion
  • Reduced muscle contracture

  • Neurological disuse atrophies/hypomyotrophies
  • Orthopaedic disuse atrophies/hypomyotrophies
  • Muscle strengthening for post-operative recovery
  • Denervated muscle stimulation
  • Improved joint stability
