Patients suffering from tendonitis, bursitis, tenosynovitis, osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendonitis, Achilles tendonitis, or rotator cuff tendonitis can finally get relief if stretching, icing, or ultrasound isn’t doing the trick.
The Village at Marymount’s physical therapy team can get you moving again using Empi’s Hybresis Iontophoresis System. Iontophoresis is a non-invasive method of delivering drugs into the body. With a low-level electrical current, iontophoresis repels drug ions through the skin and into underlying tissue.
The use of iontophoresis for transdermal drug delivery has been successfully used by medical professionals for decades and continues to increase dramatically because of its advantages.
