Effects of Electrotherapy on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

In this article, the reasons for occurrence of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and effect electrotherapy on it were discussed. Electrotherapy is a non-invasive easy method to treat DOMS muscle fatigue. As result intense abnormal exercise, creatine phosphokinase enzyme in increases occur. can be treated with techniques such as micro-current electrotherapy. Micro-currents devices reduce severity symptoms by maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis. Devices Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Micro-Current Therapy (MET) belong category micro-currents. The number sessions after frequency are two important factors treatment DOMS. TENS conducts electrical current body through electrodes that attach skin, helping pain releasing endorphins, natural painkiller, blocking passage brain. MET uses resonant frequencies aid deeper longer treatment, increase body’s production catalysts healing process, more useful chronic than TENS. Research has shown been improve symptoms.
