PAIN RELIEF CATEGORY
Physical pain is an abnormal and unpleasant sensation caused by an injury, a disorder or incorrect functioning of a part of
our organism. It is always a signal sent to us by our bodies, one that should not be ignored, and that in all cases requires us
to consult a doctor if it does not disappear quickly. The approach to pain adopted by the medical profession has changed
considerably in recent years. Treatment of the cause is always fundamental, however the pain as such must be otherwise
removed or at least considerably reduced and made bearable for the patient. The means to combat pain have developed
greatly, and there is no longer any hesitation today in using powerful analgesics to improve the quality of life of patients. It
is within this context that recourse to electrotherapy has developed. Excitation of the nerve fibres of sensation by means of
electrical micro-impulses is often the preferred method of combatting pain. Today, such analgesic electrotherapy is widely
used, particularly in rehabilitation medicine and in specialist pain treatment centres. The precision of electrical currents
allows the analgesic action to be accurately targeted according to the type of pain. It is up to the user to choose the most
appropriate programme for the type of pain and to follow practical recommendations in order to obtain maximum effect.
If the pain is great and/or persistent, you are advised to consult a doctor. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis and put in place
therapeutic actions designed to encourage the disappearance of the disorder.
