Arthritis in the United States affects nearly 46 million Americans. The biggest challenge most people have to treat pain and inflammation associated with the disease. Arthritis sufferers who experience significant pain find it difficult to be productive and the operation of a normal life. In addition, the effective treatment options are wide and in most cases, ineffective. The good news is that new advancements in technology and changes to old technologies continue to show promising results for the treatment of disease. Electrotherapy is one of these technologies. Electrotherapy for use for the treatment of knee pain associated with a wide variety of ailments knee has received a lot of bad press in recent years, but our research has shown that small adjustments in the delivery of electrical stimulation and new methods processing can be very effective.
Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy to stimulate the muscles and nerves within the body to generate natural mechanisms to cure a wide variety of medical conditions, in which case the knee pain and inflammation. It is believed that this stimulation inhibits interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is the cytokine responsible for the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses in the brain. It is also believed that releases endorphins, stimulates peri-Aquaductal gray area of ??the brain and acts on pain receptors to reduce and even eliminate knee pain for people with arthritis / osteoarthritis.
The patients in our study group showed a 82% reduction of pain on the basis of the results of the scoring of the test results KOOS. Our research has shown that adjustments to the frequency and sequence of traditional electrical stimulation have a dramatic effect on the treatment of knee pain and inflammation. In addition, traditional treatment methods involve icing the affected areas after treatment. We found that this is not necessary and, in fact, has a negative effect of the cure. It is our belief that more is not necessarily better and consistent stable therapy with electrical stimulation is a practical approach to treatment.
We continue to make small changes in our methods, monitor our study group and so far it is very promising to help patients deal with their pain and inflammation and ultimately get back on their feet. Our philosophy is that patients should be aware of what works for them, watch their diets and exercise regularly. We believe that these treatment methods provide effective excellent alternative for people with arthritis / osteoarthritis of the knee and prudent strategy can live a normal and active life.
