Electric current in therapy electrotherapy

1. Electrotherapy TENS pulse currents
The control gate is a common synaptic system that inhibits the conduction of pain by type A pulse fibers. This method is mainly used for chronic pain therapy and skeletal muscle stimulation. According to the Melzac and Walla control gate theory, stimulation of type A fast-conducting nerve fibers inhibit the conductance of type C free conducting fibers responsible for connecting pain receptors to the back corners of the spinal cord.2. The current of Kotz (Russian stimulation)
However, this method cannot stimulate muscles that are partially or completely nervous. According to Kotz, stimulation is given to skeletal muscles which are properly nervous, which is practically painless.3. Galvanic current
This procedure involves placing an anti-inflammatory drug under one of the electrodes, for example in the form of an antifungal ointment. A galvanic current is a current that is constant in flow direction and intensity over time. During the flow of current through tissues, the oil is delivered much deeper than during the injection itself. It is commonly used in ionophoresis and galvanization.4. Does it even matter why and how electrotherapy affects the body?
Unfortunately, over time, due to various types of body injuries, inappropriate lifestyles, and improper diet, these cells lose or lose their properties. So we can understand why the participation of external currents allows weakened cells to regenerate and help restore strength and energy to the weaker areas. In fact, the basis of our body's functioning are cells and intercellular exchanges, which are nothing more than tiny electrical phenomena that enable all organs to function properly. Consequently, they no longer perform their functions and provide our body with the energy necessary for proper functioning.
