Electrotherapy in Mississauga
Electrotherapy at Get Back Physiotherapy in Mississauga is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled electrical currents to relieve pain, improve muscle function, and accelerate healing. It is an essential part of modern physiotherapy, helping patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and regain mobility safely.
Whether you are dealing with acute musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical recovery, or chronic pain conditions, our electrotherapy programs are tailored to your unique needs and combined with hands-on physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation for optimal results.
What Is Electrotherapy?
Electrotherapy uses electrical currents delivered through the skin to stimulate nerves, muscles, and tissues. The therapy works to:
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation
- Promote muscle activation and re-education
- Accelerate healing of injured tissues
- Prevent muscle atrophy in immobile areas
At Get Back Physiotherapy, we use various modalities, including TENS, IFC, and EMS, based on the patient’s condition and treatment goals.
