Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is the usage of electrical energy for the treatment of injuries such as the spinal cord injury, chronic muscular pain conditions and other injuries. 

Physiotherapists use electrotherapy to lower the pain by using stimulation that causes muscles to contract. Mainly physiotherapists benefit the use of electrotherapy by exercising to strengthen and heal the muscles, reduce pain,  build up on our range of motion and regenerate the muscles and tissues in our body. 

The devices of electrotherapy offers various therapeutic waveforms, whereas the stimulation device consists of electrodes that's attached to the treatment area and when the device is activated, the electrical energy in the device causes the muscles to contract. This type of contraction is imitating our body's natural movement during any physical activity and prevents muscular atrophy. The most common devices that are used in electrotherapy are:

           1. Transcutaneous Electrical Neural 

Stimulator (TENS)

           2. Russian Current

           3. Interferential Current (IFC)

           4. ​Promogulated Current (Premog)

           5. Biphasic Current 

           6. High Voltage 

           7. Microcurrent

Intramuscular Stimulation/Dry Needling

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is an effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain syndromes caused by neuropathy. Neuropathy is described as a nerve that is not functioning properly but has normal structure.

The treatment, which utilizes acupuncture needles, specifically targets the muscles that have contracted and become shortened. These shortened muscles compress and irritate the nerves. Through needling, the super-sensitive areas can be desensitized and the persistent pull and compression of shortened muscles can be released.

IMS relies heavily on a thorough physical examination of the patient by a physiotherapist who is trained to recognize the physical signs of neuropathic pain. This physical examination is indispensable since chronic pain is often neurological as opposed to structural. It is therefore invisible to X-rays, MRI tests, Bone and CT scans.

The treatment involves dry needling of affected areas of the body without injecting any substance. The needle sites can be at the epicenter of taut, tender muscle bands, or they can be near the spine where the nerve root may have become irritated and super-sensitive. Needle penetration of a normal muscle is painless. In contrast a shortened, super-sensitive muscle will 'grasp' the needle in what can best be described as a cramping sensation.
