Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation is an Invasive Physical Therapy technique that uses low-frequency electrical currents, delivered through thin needles inserted near nerves or muscles, to modulate nervous system activity and improve neuromuscular function.
It is performed under ultrasound guidance by experienced physical therapists and can be an effective alternative or supplement to traditional therapy in cases of complex dysfunctions.
It is used to:
- Reduce chronic or neuropathic pain
- Normalize peripheral nerve activity
- Improve post-traumatic or post-surgical muscle recruitment
- Treat arthrogenic muscle inhibition
- Improve proprioception and motor control
The main benefits are:
- Pain modulation
- Reorganization of muscle activity
- Improvement of local microcirculation
- Relaxation or selective activation of muscles
- Stimulation of nerve regeneration (in suitable cases)
This technique represents an advanced therapeutic option, capable of improving motor recovery and the patient's quality of life.
