Clean currents
Quite a few electrotherapy devices today no longer emit stimulation currents in the form found in textbooks and proven to be the basis of efficient electrotherapy. Instead - mainly for reasons of cost savings - similar but not identical waveforms are used, of which nobody knows exactly whether they produce the desired effects in the tissue in the same way as the original currents. For example, low-frequency currents are generated from medium-frequency currents and vice versa. The difference between "real" and "similar" currents can often be felt in direct comparison, but it only becomes visible when looking at the current curves on the oscilloscope. There you will find galvanic currents with spikes, angular instead of harmonic sine curves or equally unclean envelope curves of diadynamic currents.
PHYSIOMED The company distances itself resolutely from the trend of risking therapeutic success simply to maximise profits and only uses "clean" currents in its therapy devices. This also explains why we often hear competent electrotherapy users say that they have better therapeutic success with PHYSIOMED devices than with other stimulation current devices, despite the same parameters.

Therapy information:
Stimulation current therapy is an important component of electrotherapy. Stimulation currents are transmitted to the tissue to be treated via electrodes (plate electrodes, vacuum electrodes, adhesive electrodes). Depending on the form of current and the choice of parameters (i.e. pulse form, pulse duration, pause time, frequency, intensity), stimulation currents can have the following main effects in the treatment area:
Pain reduction:
- stimulation of blood circulation and trophic improvement
- Nerve stimulation, especially for innervation training and paralysis treatment
- Muscle stimulation for muscle development and maintenance
- Muscular detonation
- Iontophoresis
The following classification of the various stimulation currents can be made according to their origin and specific mode of action in the tissue:
Medium-frequency currents: these are alternating currents that are generated by superimposing a base frequency (2-9.5 KHz) with a modulation frequency (0-250 Hz). In the case of AMF current (amplitude-modulated medium-frequency current) and medium-frequency currents for muscle stimulation (MT and KOTS), this superimposition already takes place in the device. The pre-modulated current can therefore be delivered to the patient via only two electrodes. In contrast, with the classic IF interference current, the two frequencies are only superimposed in the patient's tissue, which is why four electrodes are always required for treatment. The high therapeutic effectiveness of medium-frequency currents is due to their minimal skin irritation with a pronounced depth effect and therefore good acceptance by the patient.
Pulse currents with frequencies below 1000 Hz are considered to be low frequency. The various low-frequency currents DF, MF, CP, LP (diadynamic currents), UR (ultra stimulation current), HV (high-voltage current), FaS (faradic threshold current), TENS (mono- or bidirectional rectangular pulses) and T/R (exponential current) can be used to cover the entire range of applications mentioned above. In contrast to medium-frequency currents, certain low-frequency currents can also be used to treat peripheral paralyses.
Galvanic current (G) is a direct current that flows through the tissue with constant energy. Galvanic current is mainly used to stimulate blood circulation and reduce pain as well as for iontophoresis (application of a preparation with the help of the current).
