Our Methods: Electrical Modalities

Electrotherapy Electrotherapy is based on delivering of the energy from the machine to the tissue resulting in a change in one or more physiological events. Delivering that specific energy to the tissue is used to generate therapeutic effects.

In the clinic we use following electrotherapy devices:

T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneus electrical nerve stimulation) – this method primarily aims to provide a pain relief by stimulating the pain gate mechanism and the opoid system. There are different methods of applying the T.E.N.S. depending on the frequency, intensity width of the impulse and duration of the treatment.


Interferential therapy (IFT) – interferential utilises two currents passed through the tissues simultaneously. IFT is used in the clinical practice for:

For IFT treatment main-powered device or portable device can be used.


Therapeutic Ultrasound (US) – it is form of mechanical vibration at the frequencies ranging form 1.0 MHz to 3.0 MHz delivered to the tissue. Frequencies at the lower level penetrates deeper tissue and higher frequencies more superficial.

Application of the US to the injuried tissue will, amongst other things speed the rate of healing and enhance the quality of the repair.


Laser Therapy Laser Therapy (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emmision of Radiation) – it is form of light energy that is absorbed by the tissue during the treatment. The target of the laser light is cell membrane where the energy disturbs local electron orbits and results in generation of heat, initiation a chemical reaction, disruption of  molecular bonds and producion of  free radicals.

Laser therapy is often used for:
