14.10.2 endorphinic treatment of thoracic back pain

Whatever the trigger, chronic contractures of the dorsal paravertebral muscles (erector spinae) are 
responsible for the pain that incapacitates patients suffering from thoracic back pain.
Provided that sufficient stimulation energy is used to obtain clear muscle twitches, the dorsalgia treatment 
- thanks to the remarkable hyperaemia it causes - will be particularly effective for draining the metabolic 
acids that have built up in the contractured muscle. 
A significant analgesic effect will therefore usually be observed in the first treatment sessions.
This treatment should however be continued for at least ten sessions in order to restore the capillary 
network, which is usually atrophied in chronically contractured muscles.

14.10.2.1 Protocol

Thoracic back pain: 10 to 12 sessions.

14.10.2.2 treatment frequency

Three to five sessions per week for two to three weeks (10 to 12 sessions in total).
A session should last at least 20 minutes. Ideally, it may be beneficial to carry out two successive 
stimulation sessions within the Thoracic back pain programme, ensuring however a ten-minute rest 
period between the two sessions to allow the stimulated muscles to recover.

14.10.2.3 electrode position

The points of maximum contraction are usually bilateral but not always symmetrical; therefore, two 
stimulation channels are used.
• Two small electrodes are placed on the most painful points, which can be easily located by palpatory 

examination of the painful area. 

  For optimum effectiveness, the positive pole should preferably be positioned on the painful area. 
• Two other electrodes, also small ones, are placed on the top of the erector spinae muscles, a few 

centimetres above or below the electrodes placed on the painful points, depending on whether the pain 
radiates towards the neck or the lumbar region.
