2. Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcurrent_electrical...

   MENS uses include treatments for pain, [1] diabetic neuropathy, [2] age-related macular degeneration, wound healing, tendon repair, plantar fasciitis [3] and ruptured ligament recovery. Most microcurrent treatments concentrate on pain and/or speeding healing and recovery. [ 4 ]

3. Home ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_ultrasound

   Typical diagnostic ultrasound machines operate in the frequency range of 2-18 megahertz, whereas home ultrasound machines and therapeutic ultrasound machines operate in the frequency range of .7-3.3 megahertz. Diagnostic sonography is typically used to create an audio "image", such as during pregnancy to visualize the developing baby.

4. Electrical muscle stimulation - Wikipedia

   (April 2019) (Learn how and when to remove this message Not to be confused with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation . Electrical muscle stimulation ( EMS ), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation ( NMES ) or electromyostimulation , is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electrical impulses.

5. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical...

   A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...

6. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_electromagnetic...

   The original PEMF devices consisted of a Helmholtz coil which generated a magnetic field. The patient's body was placed inside the magnetic field to deliver treatment. Today, the majority of PEMF wellness devices resemble a typical yoga mat in dimensions but are slightly thicker to house several flat spiral coils to produce an even electromagnetic

7. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

   Therapeutic ultrasound in physical therapy is alternating compression and rarefaction of sound waves with a frequency of 0.7 to 3.3 MHz. [21] Maximum energy absorption in soft tissue occurs from 2 to 5 cm. Intensity decreases as the waves penetrate deeper.

8. Electrotherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrotherapy

   Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. [1] In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease. [2] Electrotherapy is a part of neurotherapy aimed at changing the neuronal activity. [3]

9. Diathermy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diathermy

   It is used in physical therapy to deliver moderate heat directly to pathologic lesions in the deeper tissues of the body. Diathermy is produced by two techniques: short-wave radio frequencies in the range 1–100 MHz ( shortwave diathermy ) or microwaves typically in the 915 MHz or 2.45 GHz bands ( microwave diathermy ), the methods differing ...
