Before initiating electrotherapy treatment, there are several conditions that should be evaluated either because they are contraindicated or because treatment should be used with caution.

• Pregnancy
• Implants
• Pacemakers
• Epilepsy
• Cancer
• Skin Injuries

It is the professional determination of your Physical Therapist to decide when and how he/she will include this technique in your treatment plan.

Most likely the Electrical Stimulation will be in addition to therapeutic exercises or manual therapy techniques that your therapist will choose to best treat you.
