How to Program Pre-treatment for Galvanic Therapy
Galvanic therapy uses electrical currents to simulate the body to heal itself, open areas or loosen muscles that spasm. Galvanic therapy is used mostly to help repair and relive pain in the body's soft tissues. In galvanic therapy, negative ions pass through the body to stimulate healing.Learn more about how to program pre-treatment for galvanic therapy.
Things You'll Need:
Galvanic therapy device
Water
1
Wet the hand that will hold the galvanic therapy device. This device has a metal plate on the back that uses your body as a conductor for the electricity.

Turn the dial or use the button to select the length of time for the treatment. Push the button until you see a 1, 2, 3 or 5. These are minutes you choose from for the length of the therapy. Some galvanic therapy device styles have dials and others have buttons. Choose a time appropriate for the amount of area covered. If treating a small area like one side of the face, select two to three minutes. Larger areas such as thighs or abdominal muscles require long settings, like five minutes.
Tips & Warnings
Muscles sometimes twitch during galvanic therapy. This is a normal occurrence.
Use skin toner in a spray bottle during the treatment to keep the skin of the patient moist.
Do not use a galvanic therapy device in an area for more than five minutes at a time.
