The best electrophoresis machines for 2020

Not all illnesses can be effectively treated with tablets and water; for complex illnesses (such as migraines or CNS damage), electrophoresis is used. The procedure is completely painless and safe for human health. In addition, it can be carried out at home, for this you need a special apparatus. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you a rating of the best electrophoresis devices for 2020.

What is electrophoresis?

Physiotherapy treatment, during which a small electric current and a medicine are applied to the human body, is called electrophoresis or ionotherapy.

The peculiarities of using this device include the fact that it can be used in a comfortable home environment, significantly saving on expensive paid procedures.

Operating principle

The whole procedure is carried out using a special device that supplies direct current and is connected to metal plates with tissue pads (electrodes).

During the work, the tissue is necessarily moistened with a heated medicinal solution, after which it is attached with the help of electrodes to the desired area of ​​the human body. The device turns on and the medicine, under the influence of direct current, breaks down into oppositely charged ions and enters the body through the skin.

The procedure activates the metabolism, and the blood vessels and lymphatic ducts begin to expand. At the end of the work, unnecessary fluid is removed from the patient's body, and pain and inflammation are significantly reduced.

What is treated with electrophoresis?

With the help of this physiotherapy procedure, almost any disease can be cured:

• Cholecystitis, gastritis and other gastroenterological diseases;
• Sharp pain in the arm or back;
• Some types of urological diseases;
• Heart disease (if there was no exacerbation) and hypertension;
• Inflammation of the joints and nerves;
• Radiculitis, neuromyositis and severe migraines;
• Uncomplicated gynecological diseases;
• Bronchial asthma and pneumonia;
• Inflammation of the mouth;
• Sinusitis and pharyngitis.

And this is not a complete list of what this procedure can affect. Electrophoresis is also used for cosmetic purposes, as it effectively promotes the resorption of scars.

The main advantages of the procedure

Compared with the traditional type of treatment, electrophoresis has a number of positive aspects:

• The medicine is injected only into the area where it is needed;
• Low percentage of side effects;
• The dose of drugs is reduced;
• Medicines are delivered in active form;
• The procedure does not cause pain;
• No need to sterilize drugs;
• Immunity is strengthened.

What solutions are used for electrophoresis?

• Calcium

They are used if a person has inflammation in violation of the musculoskeletal system or poor blood clotting.

• Atropine

It is used for inflammation of the organs of vision, ulcers and relieves pain.

• Karipazim

Reduces inflammation in arthritis, osteochondrosis and arthrosis. In addition, it helps to soften the tissue of the intervertebral discs.

• Magnesium

Contributes to the normalization of the working rhythm of the heart, and is also prescribed for an acute depressive state.

• Euphyllin

It is used to improve blood circulation, eliminate hypertension, lower blood pressure and has an antispasmodic effect.

• A nicotinic acid

It is discharged for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Reduces cholesterol and improves blood circulation.

How to carry out the procedure at home?

An electrophoresis apparatus should be purchased at a pharmacy and only after consulting a physician. Further, it can be used at home to treat bedridden adults or small children. Electrophoresis of mucous membranes is not recommended.

Instructions for use

The initial procedures should be carried out strictly under the supervision of a medical professional, after which it is necessary to carry out treatment, focusing on the instructions of the device that comes with the kit.

Brief description of actions:

• Moisten a clean cloth with the medicine;
• Attach to the desired site;
• Fix the electrode;
• Switch on the equipment and carry out the procedure as indicated in the instructions.

Varieties of devices and electrodes

Devices for electrophoresis are divided into three groups: portable (used in narrow areas, since they operate on a battery, and therefore it gives out low power), medium (designed for more complex procedures) and professional (has a wide range of conductive, electrodes are used larger area).

Differences by types of electrodes

There are two types of electrodes: surface, which are fixed on the human body and cavity, designed to work in various cavities from nasal to vaginal. Surface electrodes include: round (used for procedures on the mammary gland), rectangular, square, collar, behind-the-ear, etc.

Also, electrodes are divided into disposable and reusable. The former are actively used in hospitals, as required by sanitary standards.

Reusable are aimed at home use. Most often they consist of 9 or 12 layers of flannel pad, conductive rubber, carbon fabric (with a service life of up to 4 years), aluminum and lead (with a service life of more than 10 years).

When buying, it is worth remembering that not a single device has important consumables, this is due to a wide range of applications. Therefore, if the device comes with lead electrodes, it is important to buy flannel gaskets without a conductive element, and vice versa, if rubber electrodes go to the equipment, gaskets with carbon fabric are needed, since it provides current conduction.

Difference of devices

Devices for electrophoresis and galvanization differ among themselves not only in current strength, but also in the diagnostic system, stabilization, the presence of a timer for procedures, etc. In some models, there is a smooth adjustment function, it is necessary for people with sensitive skin or when carrying out procedures with mucous membranes and only born children.
