Galvanic bath – Types of galvanic baths

In addition to full galvanic baths, when the patient's body is fully immersed in water, there are also ''four-chambered galvanic baths'' (also called ''four cell galvanic baths''), which also combine electro energy and hydrotherapy, but are used only on the limbs.



In addition to full galvanic baths, when the patient's body is fully immersed in water, there are also ''four-chambered galvanic baths'' (also called ''four cell galvanic baths''), which also combine electro energy and hydrotherapy, but are used only on the limbs. Patient's forearms and lower legs are put in water trays, and electric current is passed through warm water. This pain-killing procedure improves the circulation and is considered especially beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis.
