Electric Rehab Therapy & Your Health

Electricity has been used in rehab therapy for centuries. The term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease. The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed wound healing. Additionally, the term "electrotherapy" or "electromagnetic therapy" has also been applied to a range of alternative medical devices and treatments. Electrotherapy is used for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention of muscle atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and muscle stimulation, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic pain, post-traumatic acute pain, post surgical acute pain, immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent blood clots, wound healing and drug delivery. The American Physical Therapy Association acknowledges the use of Electrotherapy for:

1. Pain management

• Improves range of motion

2. Treatment of neuromuscular dysfunction

• Improvement of strength
• Improvement of motor control
• Reduces muscle atrophy

• Induces repeated stretching of contracted, shortened soft tissues

4. Tissue repair
