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.

Electrotherapy and ultrasound therapy are particularly suitable for:
acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
Muscle tension and muscular complaints
Back pain and neck tension
Tendon irritation and overuse syndromes
Muscle, tendon, or ligament injuries
Post-surgical discomfort
The treatment aims to:
Targeted pain reduction
improve blood circulation in the tissue
activate or relax muscles
support tissue healing processes
positively influence inflammatory processes
This helps to alleviate discomfort more quickly and improve recovery after injuries or strain.
