How to do electrophoresis

How to perform electrophoresis of the knee? Electrophoresis is a treatment method that uses electrical impulses to inject medicinal substances into the body. This method can be used to treat various diseases, including diseases of the knee joint. To perform electrophoresis of the knee, it is necessary to perform the following steps: 

• Prepare the equipment: it is necessary to purchase an electrophoresis apparatus and electrodes for its operation.

• Prepare the drug solution: the drug that will be injected into the body through electrophoresis must be diluted in distilled water or saline.

• Prepare the skin: Before starting the procedure, the skin of the knee must be cleaned and all metal objects such as watches or jewelry must be removed.

• Apply gel: a special gel is applied to the surface of the skin of the knee, which helps conduct electric current better.Attach electrodes: gel-coated electrodes are applied to the knee joint area.

• One electrode is placed on the patella, and the other - on the patella. 

• Adjust parameters: In the electrophoresis machine, parameters such as voltage and pulse duration must be adjusted according to the doctor's recommendations. 

• Turn on the machine: after setting the parameters, the machine will turn on and the procedure will begin.

Medicinal substances are introduced into the body through an electric current that flows through the electrodes.

The duration of the procedure and its frequency depend on the disease and the doctor's recommendations. In any case, electrophoresis of the knee requires qualified medical supervision and control.
