Complementary therapies

Different types of electrical current can be used to relieve pain by creating an analgesic effect, increase blood circulation or stimulate muscles. These are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interference current (IFC) or neuromuscular electrostimulation (EMS). These therapies are used using low-intensity electrical current transmitted through electrodes placed on the skin. These therapies are often used for the treatment of acute conditions like lumbar sprains, back sprains, and whiplash strains.
