ARTHROSIS
Arthrosis is a chronic-degenerative medical condition, appearing insidiously, developing over time and
causing progressive degeneration of the joints (a joint is formed of two or more joint "heads",
cartilage, ligaments, a synovial membrane, a joint capsule, tendons and muscles), limiting joint motility
increasingly over time. Arthrosis mainly causes progressive deterioration of cartilage (which is not
capable of re-forming) and bone, with secondary deformation of the same, and production of
excrescences, called "osteophytes", which mechanically obstruct joint movement; it also causes the
joint capsule to thicken and stiffen, which together with contraction of the muscles surrounding the
joint limits the "joint excursion" even further.
Tens therapy can lessen the pain caused by this condition, but cannot cure it!
Tens (Tens 1) can be combined with stimulation of the area to be treated using a low-frequency
current (Tens 2) to relax the surrounding muscles.
