Electrotherapy Devices

If you're looking for natural alternative remedies to treat pain and illness, then it is certainly worth looking into electrotherapy devices as part of your treatment plan. Electrotherapy devices work by transmitting low electrical impulses through electrode pads placed on your body near the site being treated. Electrotherapy devices can help relieve chronic pain and fatigue while offering a number of therapeutic benefits.

Electrotherapy can be performed in a variety of ways. The most common is with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS. TENS typically uses electrodes pressed firm to the skin to send low electrical currents to target areas of the body where there is pain present. The electrical pulses work by stimulating sensory nerves and reduce symptoms of pain. TENS machines are usually small and portable devices about the size of a palm. The device consists of a battery-operated stimulator, wires and electrode pads that stick to the skin. An advantage to using these devices is that you can easily adjust the stimulator to start, stop or vary the intensity of electrical impulses.

Electro acupuncture is another form of electrotherapy that is similar to traditional acupuncture. The technique uses needles inserted at specific points along the body that are attached to a device that delivers small electrical pulses. Electro acupuncture equipment and acupuncture supplies are readily available and easy to find. Some devices offer TENS along with acupuncture therapy that similarly use electronic pulses to stimulate acupunctural pressure points to alleviate pain, muscle tension, stress and tiredness.

You can often find electrotherapy used in conjunction with other natural therapies and treatments, such as homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy is a therapy that uses natural medicine and the body's own healing abilities for preventing and treating various illnesses and to improve the health and wellness of individuals.

Natural medicine clinics often use multiple techniques and diagnostics to treat and prevent disease and illnesses with their patients. Central to their treatment methods is a holistic approach that treats each person as an individual. Electrotherapy, acupuncture and homeopathy are common treatments among a broad range of natural alternative therapies for helping people achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
