Electrostimulation is restoring the function and increasing the activity of organs and tissues through current pulsed. As a result of increasing and decreasing current frequency, the sudden change in the concentration of ions in the cell membrane causes a change in the cell's revival ability.
Electrophoresis is one of the physiotherapeutic treatment methods (this method is also called "ionophoresis", "ionotherapy", "ionogalvanization"). This is one of the most tested and studied physiotherapy methods.
Electrophoresis produces an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, relaxes muscles, normalizes exchange processes and improves nutrition of various organs and tissues.
The drug doses used during electrophoresis are very small. But it is quite enough for effective treatment. If administered orally, intravenously or intramuscularly at such dose, the drug will not have the desired therapeutic effect. Electric current increases the drug activity and therefore the drug produces an effective result even in small doses. Electrophoresis is used both as a therapeutic and preventive technique.
Electrophoresis is also used in the comprehensive treatment of various diseases and accelerates recovery. This treatment method is considered as one of the most efficient means in prevention of chronic tonsillitis (angina), chronic maxillary sinusitis, chronic bronchitis etc. in children and adults.
