Electrotherapy is an advanced treatment using different types of electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. At Zdrowotel Łeba, beautifully located in scenic Łeba, we offer electrotherapy with Kotz, Trabert, TENS, Diadynamic currents, Galvanization, Interdyn, Electrostimulation, and Iontophoresis. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and support tissue regeneration as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy program.
What does electrotherapy involve and how long does it last?
During electrotherapy, electrodes are placed on selected areas of the body, and electric currents of varying frequency, intensity, and pulse type are applied according to the patient’s needs. A session lasts 15 minutes. The electrical stimulation helps relieve pain, improve blood flow, activate muscles, and accelerate healing and tissue regeneration.
Benefits of electrotherapy
- Pain relief: Electrical currents effectively reduce muscle and joint pain, providing relief.
- Improved circulation: Stimulation of muscles and nerves enhances blood flow, improving oxygenation and tissue regeneration.
- Tissue regeneration: Electrical currents support healing of minor injuries and inflammation.
- Muscle and nerve stimulation: Electrical impulses help rebuild and strengthen muscles, which is particularly beneficial during rehabilitation.
