	Electrotherapy is primarily used in physical therapy for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention and retardation of disuse atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and re-education electrical muscle stimulation, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic and intractable pain, post-traumatic acute pain, post surgical acute pain, immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, wound healing and drug delivery		Electrotherapy is primarily used in physical therapy for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention and retardation of disuse atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and re-education electrical muscle stimulation, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic and intractable pain, post-traumatic acute pain, post surgical acute pain, immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, wound healing and drug delivery

	It may help increase local blood circulation. It can also help build strength in muscles, tendons, and ligaments – especially following injury. Increased Range of Motion - Electrotherapy is often used to help relieve pain and aid in the treatment of muscle injuries such as strains, sprains, spasms, tears and bruises.

	*Stimulating bone growth		*Stimulating bone growth

			1. Pain management
			*Improves range of joint movement

			2. Treatment of neuromuscular dysfunction
			*Improvement of strength
			*Improvement of motor control
			*Retards muscle atrophy
			*Improvement of local blood flow

			3. Improves range of joint mobility
			Induces repeated stretching of contracted, shortened soft tissues

			4. Tissue repair
			*Enhances microcirculation and protein synthesis to heal wounds
			*Increased blood flow to the injured tissues increases macrophages to clean up debris
			*Restores integrity of connective and dermal tissues

			5. Acute and chronic edema
			*Accelerates absorption rate
			*Affects blood vessel permeability
			*Increases mobility of proteins, blood cells and lymphatic flow

			6. Peripheral blood flow
			*Induces arterial, venous and lymphatic flow

			7. Iontophoresis
			*Delivery of pharmacological agents
			*DC (direct current) transports ions through skin
			*Common drugs used: Dexamethasone, Acetic acid, Lidocaine

			8. Urine and fecal incontinence
			*Affects pelvic floor musculature to reduce pelvic pain and strengthen musculature
			*Treatment may lead to complete continence
