What are electrotherapy and ultrasound?

Electrotherapy uses targeted electrical impulses (e.g., stimulation current) to stimulate muscles, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation.

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissue to support metabolic and healing processes.

Both methods are frequently used as a supplement to active physiotherapy.
