Electrostimulation works by the same mechanism as the nervous system, with the device controlling the activation of voluntary muscles via electrical signals.
Electrostimulation can, in this way, be used to treat specific muscle groups by varying the intensity, power and different frequencies of the electrical signals.
Electrostimulation therefore, by making use of electrical pulses, replicates the voluntary action of the nervous system. And thus increases the training, anti-inflammatory treatment or rehabilitative effect on the stimulated muscles.
The benefits of electrostimulation are multiple, and are associated with both the specific programme you are following and the type of current the device is set to.
As previously mentioned, in terms of pain-relief, you can easily achieve an effective reduction in pathological muscle contractures and pain, involving areas such as the back and neck. All this using specific programmes for muscle relaxation and pain relief.
Other benefits of electrostimulation can be found in exercise, sports and training, with increases in muscle tone, strength, endurance and peripheral vascularisation and blood circulation.
Furthermore, you can use electrostimulation to help biological tissues assimilate the active ingredients of a drug more quickly and in a targeted way, and to help reduce hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Instead, with a denervated muscle treatment programme, you can help slow down degenerative phenomena in muscle fibres and boost motor recovery.
