What is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses mild electrical currents to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. By targeting nerves and muscles, it can block pain signals, enhance blood flow, and encourage muscle activity. At Orchard Health Clinic, electrotherapy complements other physiotherapy methods, making it an effective option for tissue healing, circulation improvement, and muscle support. Its effects vary depending on the technique and your condition, ensuring a tailored approach to your care.
Type of Electrotherapy
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS involves sending electrical impulses to the muscles to trigger controlled contractions. This method may support recovery by enhancing muscular activation, particularly in areas affected by injury or post-surgical inactivity. It can also be helpful in strengthening specific muscle groups as part of a tailored plan.
