Percutaneous Neuromodulation (PNM)

Percutaneous neuromodulation (PNM) is an invasive physical therapy technique that works directly on the nervous system through the introduction of a needle guided by ultrasound through which low frequency current is applied to electrically stimulate the nerve or muscle to improve its function.

• Arthrosis
• Muscle ruptures
• Tendinopathies
• Sprains
• Dislocations
• Low back pain

Diagnosis and assessment:

In order to correctly apply this treatment and obtain the effectiveness it can provide, a correct diagnosis and evaluation of the patient is essential. For this, a visit to the physiotherapist is essential, where we will ask specific questions that, together with the physical examination and evaluation of the complementary tests, will allow us to determine more precisely what the cause or causes of the pain are.

Treatment:

Needles are introduced intratissularly in the vicinity of the peripheral nerve and a low-frequency electrical impulse is introduced.

No hospitalization is required in most cases.

After therapy, pain is usually considerably relieved as well as motor activity by decreasing tension and increasing strength over the quality of movement. In case of injury, recovery times would be reduced. On the other hand, tissue oxygenation would be improved and the patient’s functional system would be rebalanced.
