What Is Electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate muscles, nerves, and tissues — helping the body recover from injury, reduce pain, and improve physical function.

At Nu Physical, we use modern electrotherapy techniques, including TENS, NMES, and IFC, as part of a personalized rehab approach to speed up healing, manage chronic pain, and optimize neuromuscular recovery.

How Does Electrotherapy Work?

Your therapist will apply small electrodes to the skin over the area needing treatment. These electrodes are connected to a device that delivers controlled electrical impulses. These currents:

  • Stimulate nerve endings and block pain signals
  • Improve blood flow and reduce inflammation
  • Trigger muscle contractions to restore strength
  • Encourage the release of endorphins (natural painkillers)

The intensity, frequency, and duration are carefully adjusted to meet your comfort and treatment goals.

Types of Electrotherapy Used at Nu Physical

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
  • Designed to block pain signals traveling to the brain
  • Uses low-frequency pulses for acute and chronic pain relief
  • Commonly used for back pain, arthritis, and post-surgical discomfort
IFC (Interferential Current Therapy)
  • Uses dual-frequency currents that penetrate deeper tissues
  • Increases blood flow, reduces swelling, and supports tissue healing
  • Ideal for inflammation, edema, and muscle tightness
NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
  • Triggers muscle contractions to restore strength and mobility
  • Helps re-educate muscles after injury, surgery, or immobilization
  • Great for stroke recovery, post-op rehab, and muscle atrophy

1️ Assessment

Your physical therapist will evaluate your symptoms, diagnosis, and goals to choose the right electrotherapy type.

2️ Application

Electrodes are placed on the skin and connected to a therapy unit. You’ll feel a mild tingling or rhythmic muscle movement — no needles, no injections.

3️ Integration

Electrotherapy is often combined with manual therapy, exercise, or mobility drills for enhanced results.
