Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a medical treatment that uses electrical energy to promote healing and relieve pain. It involves applying electrical currents to the body through devices like electrodes. These currents can stimulate muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. Common types of electrotherapy include Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for pain relief and interferential current therapy for muscle rehabilitation. Healthcare professionals often use it alongside other treatments to enhance recovery from injuries or manage chronic conditions. Overall, electrotherapy aims to improve comfort and function, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
