Electrotherapy: A revolutionary pain relief system

There are countless treatments for people in pain. From popular DIY treatments like self-massage to acupuncture; from ice/heat massage to acupressure, electrotherapy has created its own way to heal chronic and acute pain. Studies have shown that electrotherapy has been a component of physiotherapy practice in the early days. Modern electrotherapy, nowadays, is one true method of treating pain conditions without taking drugs or medications. Popular modalities used in electrotherapy are alternatives to surgery and proven to be the best treatment without any side-effects.

How does Electrotherapy works…

Electrotherapy uses electrical signals to interfere with the transmission of neural pain signals into the brain. It effectively slows down or distracts the message from the nerve to the brain. In this technique, a small electrical device delivers electrical impulses across the skin. The device is connected by wires to sticky pad or carbon electrodes, which are placed on the skin in the area of the pain. This allows a small, low-intensity electric charge to be passed across the area. Electrotherapy can also involve the use of electric current to speed tissue healing where tissue damage has been occurred. The treatment via electrotherapy is safe, effective and non-surgical.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation via Electrotherapy

Post-surgery rehabilitation is an absolute necessity after undergoing an orthopaedic surgery or cardiac surgery or cancer prevention surgery. Post-surgery rehabilitation is the crucial process of re-establishing muscle strength, joint motion, full-joint movement and restore full body strength and functionality, through physiotherapy sessions and exercises. Post-surgery physical therapy plays a crucial role in post-operative rehabilitation by ensuring faster and complete recovery.
Some of the benefits of electrotherapy after surgery are as follows:
[icon name=”angle-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]  Proper blood circulation after surgery, thus preventing blood clots.
[icon name=”angle-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]  One must consider electrotherapy after total knee& hip replacement surgery.
[icon name=”angle-right” class=”” unprefixed_class=””]  Improves muscle strength, posture and balance of the body.
