Electrical Stimulation
Gentle electrical pulses that encourage chronic wounds to start healing again.
What it does
This therapy delivers very mild electrical pulses to the area around a chronic wound, which helps stimulate blood flow and tissue growth. Medicare typically covers this when a wound has not healed after 30 days of standard treatment.
