Treatment process
Compex electrotherapy is performed using a Compex device. The patient wears special electrode pads or electrodes on the muscle groups to be treated. The device generates electrical impulses that cause the muscles to contract. The intensity and frequency of the pulses can be adjusted depending on needs and treatment goals. During treatment, the patient often performs specific exercises or movements at the same time to optimize muscle activity.
