Can Electrical Therapy Cure Lower Back Pain?

If you’re struggling with lower back pain or stiff shoulders, there’s a good chance you’ve tried chiropractic treatment or electrical therapy. Some people may have felt that electrical therapy was effective, while others may not have noticed much of a difference. So, what exactly are the effects of electrical therapy?

At Pain Away, we have assembled cutting-edge electrical therapy devices from around the world. In fact, among clinics in Thailand, we probably have the most comprehensive selection. Electrical therapy is not perfect, but there are certain conditions that cannot be treated without it. In many cases, combining electrical therapy with manual therapy yields significantly better results.

There are various types of electrical devices, which can broadly be categorized into low-frequency, mid-frequency, high-frequency, high-voltage, ultrasound, laser, alternating current (AC), and direct current (DC) devices. Within these categories, different settings can be used to perform various treatments.

To use electrical therapy effectively, it’s essential to understand the frequency, pulse width, waveform, whether it’s AC or DC, and which settings are most effective for specific symptoms. Choosing the appropriate device and settings for the condition can make a significant difference in the outcome.

Furthermore, combining electrical therapy with manual techniques can multiply its effectiveness. Applying treatment while moving the joints can also greatly enhance the results.

If you haven’t felt much benefit from electrical therapy in the past, we highly encourage you to try a treatment session at Pain Away.
