TENS

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) sends electrical pulses through the skin to start your body's own pain killers. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain. TENS can reduce pain. ENS unit can also reduce chronic hyperalgesia induced by muscle inflammation. The units can help reduce swelling and increase circulation, which may also enhance tissue healing and inflammation control.

IFT

Interferential therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electrical currents to relieve pain and promote healing. It's also known as transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES). 

How it works:

Two electrical currents of different frequencies pass through the skin

• The currents interact with nerves and tissue to create a third frequency, called an interferential current

• This current blocks pain signals from reaching the brain

Uses Pain relief, Muscle stimulation, Increased blood flow, Reduced swelling, and Tissue repair. 

How it's applied 

• Electrodes are placed on the skin over the area to be treated

• The intensity and pattern of the current is adjusted

Other benefits

• IFT is considered more comfortable than other forms of electrical stimulation 

• Results can be immediate and last for days or weeks 

Applications Pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions, Treatment of constipation, Treatment of bladder issues, and Treatment of knee pain.

​MICRO

Microstimulation is a technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate neurons. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including brain disorders, muscle weakness, and more. 

How it works

• A microelectrode array is used to pass a small electrical current through a small group of neurons 

• The electrical current excites neural elements 

• The movement of electrically charged particles can help alleviate illnesses and control body parts 

Uses of microstimulation:

• Brain-machine interfaces: To improve quality of life for people who have lost the ability to use their limbs 

• Treating brain disorders: Such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder 

• Restoring leg locomotion: Through motor neuroprostheses 

• Improving muscle strength: And preventing muscle atrophy 

• Improving range of motion: Around a joint 

• Reducing muscle spasticity and spasms: And increasing cardiovascular function
