What is the electric stimulation treatment?
The electric treatment, or electroanalgesia, is a highly sophisticated electric signal delivered transcutaneously (through the skin) without needles. All patients find the sensation quite pleasant since the current dose is adjusted to each patient individually. Usually, as you progress through the protocol and your pain improves, more current is required and programs are advanced. The risk of these treatments is virtually zero.
