High Frequency and Low Frequency Current Therapy in Bangalore
High Frequency and Low Frequency Current Therapy in Bangalore
At Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer both High Frequency and Low Frequency Current Therapy — two advanced electrotherapy techniques used for relieving pain, stimulating muscles, improving circulation, and increasing tissue healing. Our physiotherapists in Bangalore utilize the proper type of current — low frequency for muscle stimulation and high frequency for heating tissue and healing — based on the status of patients and their recovery needs.
What are High and Low Frequency Currents?
Low Frequency Currents (Below 1000 Hz) are primarily used for muscle and nerve stimulation for improvement in muscle tone, reduction of spasm, and prevention of atrophy. Examples include Faradic, Galvanic, and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) therapies. High Frequency Currents (Above 100,000 Hz) are used for deep tissue heating and increasing circulation for a reduction in pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Common types include Shortwave Diathermy and Ultrasound Therapy.
Conditions Treated with Frequency Current Therapy
Muscle Weakness and Paralysis
Low frequency currents stimulate muscles to regain tone and strength.
Chronic Pain and Inflammation
High frequency currents relieve stiffness, swelling, and discomfort in affected areas.
Sports and Soft Tissue Injuries
Both currents help facilitate tissue restoration and expedite recovery times.
Joint Pain and Arthritis
High frequency therapy produces improved mobility and circulation in affected joints.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Low frequency stimulation helps to minimize muscle wasting during recovery.
Nerve and Circulatory Disorders
Improves nerve responsiveness and local blood supply.
How Do High and Low Frequency Therapies Work?
Low frequency therapy delivers mild electrical impulses to limited areas of muscle or nerve through surface electrodes. These impulses elicit rhythmical contractions leading to improved musculature tone and blood flow while reducing spasms and pain. High frequency therapy relies on electromagnetic energy or ultrasonic energy to generate deep heat in soft tissue, which will enhance the local tissue metabolic activity and contributes to faster healing of tissues.
Benefits of High and Low Frequency Current Therapy

For effective treatment in acute / chronic pain conditions.
Improved Muscles
Aids weak muscles and reduces atrophy.
Enhanced Healing

Is Frequency-Based Current Therapy Right for You?
This therapy is highly beneficial for patients experiencing muscle weakness or chronic pain. It is particularly effective in managing conditions such as arthritis, sports injuries, and peripheral nerve pain. The treatment is considered safe for individuals recovering from surgery or undergoing rehabilitation. Additionally, it offers a non-surgical, drug-free alternative, making it suitable for patients who prefer holistic or conservative treatment options. It is also recommended for promoting both deep and superficial tissue healing.
