Electrophoresis is a physiotherapy procedure in which medicinal substances are delivered through the skin using a weak electric current. The medication reaches the treated area directly, which enhances its effect.
Electrophoresis helps reduce pain, inflammation and swelling, improves circulation and speeds up tissue repair. It is a gentle method that is often part of combined programmes.
