Electrotherapy is a method of medical treatment that uses electric current to treat affected areas. It is mostly used by experienced physiotherapists to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from muscle pain to arthritis.
This treatment option is useful for treating chronic pain, muscle wasting, musculoskeletal injuries, and nerve pain by using targeted and controlled electrical stimulation.
Though there are plenty of electrotherapy treatments using various devices, they are non-invasive and have minimal to no side effects. Other than these, electrotherapy offers several key benefits, which are listed below:

Electrotherapy is very useful in conditions where medications are not effective. It can vary as per the patient’s condition and needs. The common forms of electrotherapy that the physiotherapists use are as follows:
In TENS electrotherapy, a small electrical device is used to deliver electrical impulses through the skin. Common conditions that can be treated through this are lower back pain, labour pain, and arthritis.
Also known as IFT, this is a deeper form of TENS electrotherapy and uses two high frequency currents. It is effective in pain relief, muscle stimulation, and blood circulation.
In this type of electrotherapy, the physiotherapist focuses on the muscle tissues instead of the nerves. EMS is a specialised form of exercise where your motor neurons are stimulated to contract the muscles. This therapy is used to treat muscle atrophy.
PENS involves the application of electrical stimulation through small needles that penetrate the skin. It can also be used at home and is more beneficial than TENS.
This form of electrotherapy in physiotherapy uses a transducer instead of electrode pads. The benefits of therapeutic ultrasound include the healing of muscles and ligaments and the healing process.
