Terapie Strumentali

Horizontal Therapy

Horizontal Therapy is based on the assumption that any bioelectric changes on living tissue are closely related to biochemical changes and vice versa.

The innovation of this type of electrotherapy is that ithas succeeded, for the first time, in stimulating cells and cell tissues bioelectrically and biochemically at the same instant. Horizonthal Therapy has thus simultaneously combined the two effects of electromedicine in the same tissue: biochemical effects (belonging to the non-stimulatory class) and bioelectrical effects (belonging to the stimulatory class). The latter are obtained with low frequencies and continuously varied current intensities, which generate action potentials in the cells (i.e., “responses” from cells excited with electrical stimuli). The former, on the other hand, result from medium frequencies and constant current intensity that generate a variety of therapeutic effects at the cellular level (biochemical actions). During therapy, these two actions occur simultaneously.

Traditional vertical stimulators, on the other hand, are incapable of generating both effects simultaneously in the same tissue.

From the first application, this therapy provides extensive pain and mobility improvements: it is useful for arthrosis (both early and advanced stages); it soothes chronic and acute pain resulting from disease or dysfunction; and it improves cellular metabolism and consequently also promotes natural regeneration. In addition, it can reduce or even replace drug therapy (unwelcome or not tolerated).

It is an absolutely painless treatment.
