galvanic stimulation
Galvanic stimulation is a therapeutic technique that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. This method is often employed in physical therapy to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve muscle function. The electrical currents can help increase blood flow and enhance the body's natural recovery processes.
The treatment typically involves placing electrodes on the skin, which deliver the electrical impulses. Physical therapists may use galvanic stimulation for various conditions, including muscle atrophy, chronic pain, and rehabilitation after injuries. It is considered a non-invasive approach to support recovery and improve overall physical health.
