Iontophoresis
In iontophoresis, active ingredients from ointments (e.g. to reduce swelling or pain) are introduced into the tissue by means of direct current.
Electrical muscle stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation is a stimulation current therapy. Weakened muscles are stimulated by weak alternating current with low frequency. It is mainly used after longer periods of immobilization.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a branch of physical therapy or electrotherapy. It helps relieve pain and supports the body's own self-healing process.
