PERCUTANEOUS<br />
ELECTROLYSIS THERAPY<br />
The application of<br />
percutaneous electrolysis<br />
applies mostly to tendon<br />
injuries such as tendonitis (<br />
tendonosis), partial tendon<br />
tears and myotendon injuries in<br />
different parts of the body.<br />
This therapy consists of applying a<br />
galvanic electrical current through a<br />
small needle ( accupuncture needle)<br />
with the idea of causing a mild local<br />
inflammatory reaction that restarts the<br />
healing process. We always apply this<br />
technique guided by our ultrasound<br />
imaging system, which allows for<br />
precission when introducing the needle<br />
into the affected area. The ultrasound<br />
equiplment allows us to keep a check<br />
on the progress of the recovering t<strong>issue</strong>.<br />
We usually apply 3 sessions that are<br />
spaced out within a period of 3 to 4<br />
weeks, these sessions are combined<br />
with our usual physiotherapy and<br />
osteopathy treatments.<br />
I have been applying this technique for<br />
over 7 years now and with great results<br />
