How is the procedure performed
Before conducting treatment sessions, the patient is carefully examined. After all diagnostic measures, therapy can be started.
The patient lies down on the couch. The doctor, using standardized electrodes that are connected to the generator, touches them to the patient's body.
The touch zones depend on the disease to be treated. The generator used in the procedures generates electrical impulses of constant alternating current, ultra-low strength, so they are not capable of harming a person.
The duration of the session is from 30 minutes to 1 hour. The course of treatment usually lasts about 15-20 days, but not in every case. There are some diseases that take much longer to heal. The treatment plan is drawn up by the doctor, taking into account each specific case.
