	Electrotherapy Information on Healthline
		Electrotherapy is the use of electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
		Specifically, electrotherapy uses energy waves that are part of the electromagnetic spectrum to produce desired physiological and chemical effects in the body.
		Electrotherapy is used for three therapeutic purposes: (1) to relieve pain; (2) to stimulate physiochemical changes; and (3) to stimulate muscle contraction.

		Electrotherapy is the use of electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
		Electrotherapy is used for three therapeutic purposes: (1) to relieve pain, (2) to stimulate physiochemical changes, and (3) to stimulate muscle contraction.
		Electrotherapy is used to stimulate the contraction of muscles during rehabilitation.

	electrotherapy - Holistic Junction
		Electrotherapy is useful in assisting in recovery and rehabilitation of stressed or injured muscles and joints.
		A non-invasive therapy, electrotherapy has been medically approved for use on patients that have suffered stroke or injury to help maintain muscle tone while recouperating; and further decreases inflammation due to illness or injury.
		Additionally, electrotherapy is a superb treatment for fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, Sciatica, scoliosis, and many other musculoskeletal problems and disorders.

	Electrotherapy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Electrotherapy devices that help control both chronic and acute pain fall into one of three categories: Interferential, Microcurrent, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
		Electrotherapy has the ability to counter these effects through neuromuscular stimulation (NMS) and high or low voltage pulsed direct current therapy.
		Electrotherapy uses Interferential, NMS, and high or low voltage pulsed direct current devices to move excess fluid from injured areas.

	Devices for electrotherapy - US Patent 6101418 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		In the present state of the art devices for electrotherapy are known which are based on the application of high frequency currents aimed at producing hyperthermia effects, i.e., local heating of the cell tissues of determined parts of the body, affected by neoplasias and analogous ailments.
		A pair of symmetrical and metallic plates are used in one of the known hyperthermia devices for electrotherapy, acting the body of the patient as a resistor element, whose plates or electrodes are generally connected to the transformer of the output stage of the corresponding circuit.
		In these devices, given their functioning characteristics and the nature of their operation, usually, in the known types of oscillation generators for electrotherapy, the working potency must be reduced to a minimum when applying the electrode to the pertinent body area and when separating the electrode itself at the end of the treatment operation.

	Current Concepts in Electrotherapy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The skill of electrotherapy is to make the appropriate clinical decision as to which modality to use and when.
		Electrotherapy treatment effects appear to be dose dependent and therefore having identified the most appropriate modality, it is important to deliver the appropriate dose.
		Instead of 'hitting the cells' with high energy levels, and thereby forcing them to respond, the low energy applications are aiming to tickle the cells, to stimulate them into some higher activity level and thus use the natural resources of the body to do the work.

	Advances in Skin & Wound Care: Electrotherapy Promotes Healing and Microcirculation of Infrapopliteal Ischemic ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Electrotherapy may prove to be a relatively safe and effective complement to surgical revascularization to improve the odds of healing ischemic wounds and promoting limb salvage.
		Prevalence of dysvascular amputations is reported to have increased 27% between 1988 to 1996.1 With an average of 133,325 limb-loss hospital discharges per year1 and a cost of $100,000 per amputation (considering surgical hospitalization and rehabilitation costs2), the direct yearly cost of dysvascular amputations in the United States is $13 billion.
		Electrotherapy is intended to supplement surgical revascularization, which is the standard care for ischemic wounds.

	Electrotherapy of arterial hypertension
		Just as with the other forms of electrotherapy of arterial hypertension there was a decrease of minute volume, cardiac index and increase of total peripheral index in hyperkinetic variant, and increase of minute volume and cardiac index with the reduction of total peripheral resistance in hypokinetic variant of hypertension.
		Speaking of the electrotherapy of arterial hypertension we need to point out that the combination of two or more factors acting on different mechanisms of pathogenesis of the disease produce better results than a single factor.
		This is why at the health resorts mineral waters are combined with electrotherapy, preferably with two different modes of it, that act through different mechanisms of pathogenesis.

	Electrotherapy
		Electrotherapy was frequently utilized during the nineteenth century for the treatment of a variety of ailments.
		The theory behind this use of electricity was defined as early as 1743, when Johann Gottlob Kruger (1715-1759) suggested that electrification could induce changes in the body that would restore or maintain health.
		Because electrotherapy sought to treat symptoms, rather than the underlying disease, it consistently failed.

		Therapists can offer electrotherapy treatments for a variety of physical impairments, including disuse atrophy, soft tissue adhesions, joint mobility, impaired motor control, deviated postures, slow or non-healing wounds and ulcers, impaired arterial, venous and lymphatic flow, incontinence, and pain.
		Regrettably, there is a very limited use of electrotherapy in chronic orthopedic conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, neuromuscular problems associated with the central nervous system, peripheral circulatory disorders, wound healing, incontinence, diabetes and severe cardiac disorders, all of which can greatly benefit from the application of appropriate electrotherapy.
		Recent discoveries of electrotherapy success in managing rheumatoid arthritis, neurological, vascular, Diabetes, certain cardiopulmonary disorders and certain types of cancers are likely to evolve into common practice.
