Even in ancient times, electrically charged fish, such as the electric ray, were used as a painkiller. In the 20th century, a number of procedures for electrotherapy
Electrotherapy is used today for pain treatment, circulatory disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, paralysis and muscle weakness.
interference current according to Nemec
Two crossing (interference) circuits with differing alternating currents are used to generate an endogenously effective oscillation. The advantage of this therapy is that deeper tissue layers can be reached without causing skin irritation. The main indications are pain conditions in the musculoskeletal system, e.g. arthrosis of the joints or spinal syndrome and herniated discs.
iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is a special direct current treatment in which the applied direct current is also used to transport a medication. Suitable medication is applied to the skin in the form of a solution or gel underneath the correctly polarized electrode (under the anode or cathode, depending on the medication).
TENS
TENS is the abbreviation for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. It is a form of treatment that is used for special pain therapy, especially in cases of long-lasting chronic pain. The electrical nerve stimulation is applied via two electrodes. After training by our team, you will receive a handy little device that you can keep permanently after a trial period and with which you can also treat yourself at home.
The aim of this treatment is to prevent the transmission of pain by influencing the nerve cells in the spinal cord, the so-called 'pain gate'. TENS therapy closes this pain gate. The pain is no longer transmitted upwards through the spinal cord for hours after the therapy has been applied.
