Information on High & Low-Frequency Therapy

What is High Frequency?

Effects of high frequency stimulation

High frequency stimulation is effective for acute (nerve) pain and is said to be especially useful in the immediate

blockage of pain transmission compared to low-frequency stimulation.

What is Low Frequency?

A treatment method effectively using the physiological action

Although we do not notice, our bodies generate very weak electricity from various parts of the body including the brain,

heart, muscles, and nerves. This electricity is called bioelectricity. The bioelectricity plays an essential role for the

normal functioning of our bodies. Our bodies sensitively react to electric stimulation applied from the outside and

cause various changes. The method to treat abnormality of bioelectricity, which is manifested as stiffness or pain, by

effectively using the above mentioned action is called electrotherapy of which low-frequency therapy is typical.

Mechanism of low-frequency electrotherapy

Pumping action of muscles

Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the low-frequency current. This helps to

activate the pumping action of the heart. When the muscle relaxes, a large amount of

blood flows in, and when the muscle contracts, the blood containing wastes is pumped out.

With repeated actions, the blood flows smoother and the blood circulation is improved.

Shutting out pain signal

When low-frequency current flows to the region experiencing pain, it acts on the transmission mechanism of pain.

Thus low-frequency current is said to reduce the transmission of pain to the brain.

Actions of the low-frequency current

What is frequency?

Frequency is the number of times electric stimulation is applied to the body per second and is represented by a unit

called Hertz (Hz).

Effects of low frequency stimulation

Low-frequency stimulation is effective in relieving

symptoms of chronic pain, stiffness and numbness. It is

said to have the effects to activate secretion of pain-

suppressing substance or to improve the blood circulation.

Standard treatment time

Long-time treatment and strong stimulation cause muscular fatigue and generate adverse effects.

In order to avoid the excessive treatment, Electronic Nerve Stimulator, model HV-F127 is made to turn off the power

automatically in 15 minutes.
