The information on this page has been checked by the physiotherapist Andreas Mondl.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy is a proven treatment method that uses targeted electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. This can relieve pain, improve blood circulation and relax the muscles. At the same time, it supports tissue regeneration and activates the body’s own healing processes.
Typical areas of application include chronic pain, osteoarthritis, disc problems and muscle tension. Electrotherapy is also successfully used after operations or injuries – such as cruciate ligament ruptures, torn muscle fibers or shoulder problems – to promote healing and mobility. In rehabilitation, it also provides gentle support for muscle building.
