Although the name may sound intimidating, Low- and Medium-Frequency Electrotherapy is a gentle and well-established physical therapy modality. The treatment uses low- and medium-frequency electrical impulses that are similar to the body’s own natural electrical signals, making it both comfortable and effective. It helps relieve discomfort, relax muscles and support normal body function.
During the treatment, carefully controlled electrical impulses are applied to the selected area of the body. These impulses help stimulate blood circulation, improve the delivery of nutrients to the tissues and support the body’s natural response to inflammation. Electrotherapy also has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, muscle tone and the body’s natural recovery processes, making it a valuable component of rehabilitation programmes.
