Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy, also known as electrophysiotherapy or electrical stimulation therapy, is an advanced physiotherapy technique that utilizes controlled electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. At Al Resalah Specialty Clinic in Sharjah, we use electrotherapy as a safe and effective solution to relieve pain, restore muscle function, and accelerate healing for a wide range of conditions.

✅ Conditions Treated with Electrotherapy:

  • Chronic and acute pain

  • Neck and back pain

  • Joint and muscle stiffness

  • Muscle weakness or atrophy

  • Post-surgical rehabilitation

  • Sports injuries

  • Nerve injuries

  • Swelling (edema) and inflammation

  • Arthritis and related disorders

⚙️ Electrotherapy Modalities We Offer:

🔸 TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

  • Ideal for chronic pain, sciatica, arthritis, and post-injury pain.

  • Delivers low-voltage currents through the skin to block pain signals.

🔸 Interferential Current (IFC) Therapy

  • Effective for deep tissue pain, muscle spasms, and post-operative swelling.

  • Uses intersecting medium-frequency currents for deeper stimulation.

🔸 Galvanic Stimulation (GS)

  • Used for acute injuries, nerve damage, and swelling control.

  • Applies direct current (DC) to improve circulation and reduce edema.

🔸 Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)

  • Beneficial in stroke recovery, post-fracture rehabilitation, and muscle re-education.

  • Promotes muscle contraction to restore strength and prevent atrophy.

🔸 Ultrasound Therapy

  • Although non-electrical, often combined with electrotherapy.

  • Helps treat ligament injuries, tendonitis, and soft tissue inflammation through deep tissue healing.

🔸 PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy

  • Used in bone healing, chronic pain conditions, and tissue regeneration.

  • Enhances cellular repair using electromagnetic pulses.
