Treating Wounds With Low Level Electrical Therapy

EPISODE 71Title: Treating Wounds With Low-Level Electrical Therapy: New ResearchPeople suffering from chronic non-healing wounds are usually recommended exercises by their doctor or physiotherapist to strengthen muscles and improve circulation, which are vital for a healthy recovery. A new study suggests that low-level electrostimulation therapy could also be used to treat such wounds, as this therapy has previously been shown to increase metabolic functioning in treated tissues through increased mitochondrial activity in skeletal muscle tissue (in mice). The studies listed below describe some of the research related to electrostimulation therapies and wound healing that is available currently.  Jump into this interesting research with us on the podcast!
