Electrostimulation Currents - Antalgic Currents
The currents of electrostimulation are electric currents of nerve stimulation emitted by an electromedical device that increases the excitability of nerve and muscle cells inducing their contraction.
This physical therapy uses an electrostimulator that, through the aid of electrodes applied on the designated part of the body, is able to generate electrical impulses that reach the muscles, contract them with intensity, duration, pulse, frequency and latency according to the therapeutic purpose.
This type of treatment is prescribed to improve muscle tone-trophism following surgery (such as ligamentous reconstruction) or post trauma after a period of immobility.
In sports and competitions, athletes take advantage of the benefits of electrostimulation to improve muscle tone and athletic performance.
This therapy is indicated in cases of:
- Muscle hypotrophy-hypotonia
- Prolonged immobility that needs muscle reinforcement
- Nerve stimulation
TENS: Pain-free Electrical Current - Diadynamic-Interferential
They are electric currents emitted by an electromedical device for analgesic purposes. Therapy is performed through electrodes that are applied in the pain area with a specific program depending on the diagnosis.
This therapy is indicated in cases of:
- Pain in the spine (cervicalgia-lumbago-sciatalgia)
- Trauma outcomes (eg whiplash)
- Osteoarthritis
