As part of the physical therapy, it is understood as the application of electricity to the body for therapeutic purposes. Therfore different kinds of electricity are used, for example DC and AC . These waveforms can be applied via plate or suction electrodes. In the latter case, the electrode by vacuum “sucked firmly” on the body surface. By variation of the application time and the frequency modulation, the mode of action is affected.

A special application form is iontophoresis. The naturally present electric charge is utilized in medical ointments and creams. The electric current “pulls” the effective ingredients through the electromagnetic field with it, and reinforced so the inclusion of the drug into the skin.

Other possibilities:

→ Interruption of the “vicious circle” (pain cycle) (PAIN­ → Tissue tension­ → reduced local blood circulation → PAIN­)

→ more favorable situation for the physiotherapy Treatment

→ Muscle Enhancement

→ In case of failure of the neurovascular structures of the central and peripheral nervous system (stroke, multiple sclerosis, herniated disc, etc.), the “electrical stimulation” is used and active muscle cells and strengthen.

In addition, this also damaged nerve tracts are stimulated and increase their chance of cure. But can “merge” no severed nerve again!

Other possible fields of application:

→ Increasin the metabolism rate

→ Increasing the resorption capacity (reduction of edema, effusions).
