Electrotherapy

A grouped menu of physician-indicated electrotherapy modalities at Carlsbad Clinic, used for pain relief and circulation within its rehabilitation programme. Options range from Bioptron polarised-light therapy and therapeutic ultrasound to shortwave diathermy, Phyaction electrostimulation, a four-chamber galvanic bath and vacuum-compression therapy for the limbs. The therapist selects the modality that fits your diagnosis, and sessions are short, comfortable and easily combined with physiotherapy.

Electrotherapy at Carlsbad Clinic is a grouped menu of physician-indicated modalities that use electrical current, light, sound or pressure to relieve pain, ease muscle tension and support circulation, selected to match each guest's diagnosis. The simplest is Bioptron therapy (270 Kč, 10 min), which applies polarised light associated with supporting wound healing and easing pain. Therapeutic ultrasound (330 Kč, 15 min) drives deep sound waves into soft tissue to reduce pain and promote tissue repair, while shortwave diathermy (330 Kč, 20 min) delivers deep heating useful for chronic muscular and joint problems. Phyaction electrotherapy (330 Kč, 15 min) and distance electrotherapy (320 Kč, 20 min) use electrical currents for analgesia and muscle stimulation, helpful for pain control and muscle activation. The four-chamber galvanic bath (550 Kč, 15 min) passes a gentle galvanic current through water around the limbs, associated with improving circulation and easing pain in the hands and feet. Vacuum-compression therapy for the upper or lower limbs (760 Kč, 30 min) alternates negative and positive pressure to support arterial and venous circulation, suiting guests with vascular or post-traumatic swelling. Because the right modality depends on the condition, the therapist chooses from this menu after the clinic's initial medical examination, ensuring the treatment is correctly indicated and contraindications — implanted electronic devices, active tumour in the field, broken skin over the area, and pregnancy for certain modalities — are screened. The sessions are short, comfortable and require no recovery time, and they combine naturally with physiotherapy, laser and magnetotherapy so passive pain control supports active rehabilitation. The therapist advises on how many sessions a course should run for cumulative benefit, typically several across a spa stay.
