Electrotherapy is a medical treatment that uses electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves, promoting healing and pain relief. It can be applied through various methods such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential therapy, or electro-muscle stimulation (EMS). These electrical impulses help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, improve tissue repair, and relax muscles, aiding in the treatment of several conditions including chronic pain, muscle strains, sprains, and even some neurological disorders.

Electrotherapy in Nepal uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions, promote healing, and relieve pain. It's often used for rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries.
Popular treatments include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), with TENS being more commonly used in Nepal. Patients typically require multiple sessions for best results.
