ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PERCUTANEOUS ELECTROLYSIS AND NEUROMODULATION at J|medical

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis (EPI). This is a versatile and minimally invasive technique used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the delivery of electrical current through a fine needle positioned under ultrasound guidance in the target tissue, promoting remodelling of the damaged skeletal segment and reducing painful symptoms. By applying different parameters, ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis can also be useful for releasing symptomatic scar tissue adhesions at the muscular or musculotendinous level. Neuromodulation. This is a therapeutic technique that acts on the nervous system to correct or alleviate symptoms associated with chronic conditions, pain, movement disorders, and other medical conditions, without the use of medications. Neuromodulation is used when conventional treatments have not been successful in managing symptoms, or when the continued use of medications may cause unwanted side effects. It is important that a qualified physician carefully evaluates whether neuromodulation is appropriate for the patient, taking into consideration both the risks and the benefits.
