Electrotherapy (ET)

What is

Electrotherapy (ET)

Electrotherapy is a physical treatment method that uses targeted electrical currents or impulses to alleviate pain, stimulate muscles, and support the healing process.
Depending on your symptoms, different types of currents are used, such as stimulation current, interference current, or TENS. The application is carefully controlled and individually dosed.
At my private physiotherapy practice in Munich, I frequently use electrotherapy as a supplement to active measures such as physical therapy or manual therapy.

Key benefits of

Electrotherapy

Electrical impulses can specifically target nerves and muscles. This allows for pain reduction, activation of weakened muscles, and improvement of blood circulation.

Pain Relief (Analgesic Effect)

Electrical impulses influence pain transmission in the nervous system and reduce both acute and chronic symptoms.

Improving Blood Circulation

Certain types of current increase local blood flow and support tissue regeneration.

Muscle Stimulation for Weakness or Paralysis

Weakened muscles can be specifically activated and supported during the recovery process.

Enhancing Tissue Metabolism

Electrical stimulation promotes metabolic processes and accelerates healing mechanisms.

Any questions?

Your coverage

As a private practice I treat privately insured patients, patients with civil‑servant medical‑benefit coverage (Beihilfe), and self‑paying patients. I will be happy to inform you transparently about the treatment process, duration, and cost structure before therapy begins.

What is electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy is a physiotherapeutic method that uses electrical currents to alleviate pain, stimulate muscles, and promote the healing process.

When is electrotherapy used?

It is used for pain, muscle tension, muscle weakness, nerve irritation, and to support rehabilitation following surgery.

Is the treatment painful?

As a rule, the treatment is very well tolerated. You will usually feel a slight tingling sensation or gentle muscle activation.
