Physiotherapy electrostimulation has become a true ally in functional rehabilitation , muscle recovery and pain management . Thanks to simple and effective devices, such as TENS or EMS , it perfectly complements manual care and active exercises.
But how do you choose the right electrotherapy physiotherapy device ?
What criteria are important, and which products can you find on My Medical ? We'll guide you.
Why integrate electrostimulation into your physiotherapy practice?
Electrostimulation involves sending mild electrical currents through the skin to stimulate nerves or muscles as needed. It is used for:
-
Relieve pain (chronic pain, lower back pain, tendonitis)
-
Preventing muscle atrophy after immobilization
-
Strengthen a specific muscle in a rehabilitation protocol
-
Promote muscle recovery , particularly in athletes
It is a non-invasive , precise tool that is easy to integrate into a session.
TENS or EMS: which type of device should you choose?
- TENS: to relieve pain
TENS devices act on sensitive nerve fibers . They are indicated for acute or chronic pain: lower back pain, neck pain, post-surgical pain.
On My Medical , you will find the Neurotrac TENS , a compact , reliable device with several preset programs for fast and effective support.
- EMS: to stimulate the muscle
EMS directly stimulates muscle fibers . It is used to maintain or recover muscle strength after injury or immobilization.
These electrostimulators will soon be available on My Medical , with programs adapted to the needs of practitioners.
- TENS + EMS combined
Some models offer both modes (TENS and EMS) for versatile support: pain relief and muscle stimulation .
