Electrotherapy for children

In the pediatric medical recovery department, electrotherapy is used to stimulate the hypotonic skeletal muscles, producing strong, well-supported muscle contractions. Electrotherapy consists of using an electric current to stimulate the tissues in order to cure various diseases or recover certain lost functions of the body.

Duration of electrotherapy treatment: Patients are recommended 3 series of 10 electrotherapy sessions, with a break between series of 3 weeks, the duration of one session being 30 minutes.

The specialists of the pediatric medical recovery department use multiple electrotherapy procedures: direct electric current and alternating electric current, these being in turn divided into low, medium, and high-frequency currents, with the help of the Chattanooga equipment.
