TENS / IFT / MICRO / EMS

TENS

A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) sends electrical pulses through the skin to start your body's painkillers. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain. A TENS unit can also 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). 

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. It can be used for pain relief, muscle stimulation, increased blood flow, reduced swelling, and tissue repair. 

 

​

​MICRO

Micro-stimulation 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. A microelectrode array is used to pass a small electrical current through a small group of neurons, the electrical current excites neural elements. It can be used as a Brain-machine interface: To improve the quality of life for people who have lost the ability to use their limbs, restoring leg locomotion, improving muscle strength, preventing muscle atrophy, improving range of motion around a joint, and reducing muscle spasticity and spasms. 

​

​

EMS

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy that stimulates a muscle contraction using electrical impulses to strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and help heal wounds. Joint-friendly: Low-impact and suitable for those with joint issues or injuries. Improves muscle tone and definition: EMS activates deep muscle fibers, leading to increased muscle tone and strength.
