CLEAN CURRENTS

Quite a few electrotherapy instruments today no longer emit stimulation currents in the form described in teaching manuals, and on which efficient electrotherapy is proven to be based. Instead of this – and in many cases due to cost savings – similar, but not identical, curve forms are used. Nobody knows exactly whether these cause the desired effects in tissue in the same way as the original currents. Instead of medium frequency currents, for example, low frequency ones are generated, and vice versa.

In a direct comparison, the difference between ”genuine“ and ”similar“ currents can often be felt, but it only becomes visible when the current curves are viewed on an oscilloscope. Galvanic currents with spikes can be found, distorted instead of harmonic sinusoidal curves, or even deformed envelopes of diadynamic currents.

PHYSIOMED distances itself firmly from this trend of compromising therapeutic success only for the sake of maximising profits. PHYSIOMED instruments therefore only supply ‘clean’ currents. This also explains the often heard opinion of competent electrotherapy users, that despite using the same parameters, they obtain better therapeutic results with PHYSIOMED instruments than with other stimulation current instruments.

INDICATIONS

Electrotherapy is beneficial within a broad range of applications, including, but not limited to:

• Arthrosis (knee joint)
• CRPS stage I and II
• Chondropathia patellae
• Epicondylopathy
• Joint effusion
• Pain syndrome, post-operative
• Radicular syndrome
• Spasticity treatment according to Hufschmidt/Jantsch
• Spondylitis ankylosans
• Whiplash injury

THERAPY OPTION SPASTICITY TREATMENT

The fundamental principle of special electrotherapy methods e.g. for spastic cerebral palsy, spasms following apoplectic insult and adductor spasms is the stimulation of the Golgi tendon organs, which in turn is aimed at inhibiting muscle spasticity at bone marrow level. Directly following inhibition of the affected muscle, in the second circuit the antagonistic muscles are stimulated. Dr. Felipe Medina presents an example of the adjuvant therapy option in a video.
