What is electrotherapy?
Je to fyzikálna terapia, ktorá sa využíva prevažne v liečebnej rehabilitácií. Elektroterapia využíva elektrickú energiu na dosiahnutie želaných účinkov na pacienta, akými sú analgetický efekt, zmiernenie opuchu, zvýšenie cirkulácie krvi a It is a physical therapy that is mainly used in medical rehabilitation. Electrotherapy uses electrical energy to achieve the desired effects on the patient such as analgesic effect, reducing swelling, increasing blood circulation and inhibiting inflammatory processes. With increased blood circulation, the body is better able to activate the immune system. This effect is the basis for faster regeneration of damaged tissues.inhibits inflammatory processes.

How does the electrotherapy work?
Electrotherapy works on the principle of stimulation of nerves and muscles by electrical energy, which can have different frequency values. The parameters of electrotherapy vary depending on the diagnosis and the use of a particular type of electrotherapy. Within the electrotherapy we apply different frequency, pulse width and amplitude. Proper adjustment of electrotherapy parameters positively influences tissue healing, reduces pain and stimulates muscles to perform better.
