UHF is a complex of treatments using capacitor plates that are supplied to tissues.
Plating is a treatment by providing a constant current and low voltage.
Drug electrophoresis is a simultaneous effect on the tissues of low-intensity direct current and special drugs are introduced into the tissue with the help of it. Electric current increases ionic activity in tissues, at the same time a pharmacological effect of the drug occurs.
Darsonvalization is a treatment that rapidly quenches high-frequency, low-power pulse currents with high voltages.
Medical Microclyster - douching device, used to infuse and use various decoctions.
Baths used to treat illness are indicated in general or sedentary in place. During the bath, different medicinal liquids with different temperatures are used.
