Electrotherapy - You can Use it at Home!

Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. In medicine, the term electrotherapy can be applied to many treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulants for neuropathy. The term has also been specifically applied to the use of electric current to speed wound healing. In addition, the term "electrotherapy" or "electromagnetic therapy" has also been applied to a wide range of medical devices and alternative treatments.
So there are no specific statistics on the number of types of electrotherapy. Science is always evolving, and forms of electrotherapy will develop scientifically.

What is electrotherapy in physiotherapy?


Electrotherapy is a popular method used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

To know about Electrotherapy in an intuitive way, watch a video about the tool that integrates various methods of Electrotherapy.



The above tool is integrated with tools such as:
  • TENS
  • EMS
  • Acu-TENS
  • Acupuncture pen
  • And more...

The tools of Electrotherapy are numerous, but at the moment, I find that people often associate TENS and EMS. But real wonders, TENS, EMS, acupuncture pen, they also involve electric acupuncture. Later, the popularity will probably be different due to the integration of East and West
Talk about the popularity of TENS and EMS (also known as electromechanical stimulation or electronic stimulation) using an electric machine that provides electrical impulses to the patient's body. This stimulation is made to promote and facilitate muscle healing and tissue regeneration. Electrical therapy is not only a popular method in physiotherapy, but can also be used by other rehabilitation practitioners because it has many therapeutic benefits.

This is a device you can use every day to support sports.

Uses of electric therapy in rehabilitation


The use of electrotherapy has been supported by the American Physiotherapy Association because it has shown the following:

  • Prevent and stop muscle atrophy caused by not using it
  • Improve blood circulation and local blood flow
  • Re-educate muscles by using intentional stimulation
  • Preserve and improve motion range
  • Management and pain relief (chronic, post-traumatic and post-operative surgery)
  • Prevention of deep vein thrombosis after surgery
  • Facilitate wound healing
  • Improve efficiency in providing prescription drugs - management of electrodynamics (EMDA)

  • Electrical muscle stimulation
  • Electroanalgesia
  • Electroconvulsive therapy
  • Electrotherapy (cosmetic)
  • Galvanic bath

Which electrotherapy devices should you buy for home use?


According to FDA approval, there are many devices in the device group that are rated Medical Grade 3. It means that when using, there must be a doctor's prescription, and sold at a Health facility - according to application.

However, much data about these devices has been removed by FDA on their website. On the other hand, electrotherapy tools are rampant on Amazon, while the FDA says it is only sold on prescription. Is this a conflict between Amazon and FDA?

Which facilities can you use the therapeutic equipment?

I have consulted many studies and experiments of NCBI about these tools, right on my blog (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) at Acupuncture Points - Why not?) . In general, it is safe and does not have many dangerous side effects. Science will have a way to make it less dangerous.

So manufacturers are assured of production for sale. They are convinced there are buyers.

Some electrical therapy devices can be used at home:
