EPTE Transcutaneous Electrolysis Therapy
EPTE ® Transcutaneous Electrolysis Therapy is a breakthrough technique for treating tendinopathies, or degenerative changes in tendons.
The transcutaneous electrolysis device produces a galvanic microcurrent, which is applied to the affected tissue using an acupuncture needle. The action of the galvanic microcurrent causes electrolysis of the tissue, which initiates a controlled inflammatory process that allows the normal regeneration process.
Treatment with percutaneous electrolysis is fast, effective, causes minimal pain for the patient, reduces recovery time and minimizes treatment costs. In just 48 hours, the patient regains range of motion and any pain will be significantly relieved. Transcutaneous electrolyte therapy is effective in treating tendinopathies in all types of patients from world-class athletes to those with typical overuse injuries.
Therapy is effective in treating:
- Rotator cone muscle tendons: supraspinatus, subscapularis, obturator minor, subscapularis,
- Ulnar extensor of the wrist, long thumb adductor, short thumb extensor
- Tendon of the triceps arm muscle
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendon
- Adductor tendon of the thigh
- Piriformis girdle
- Tendons of the gluteal muscles
- Ligament of the patella (jumper’s knee)
- Tendons of the quadriceps muscle
- Soleus tendon (heel spur)
- Tibialis anterior and posterior muscle tendon
- Tendons of the posterior group of thigh muscles: biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus
- Pubic bone region: rectus abdominis muscle
