EMI (electrolysis microinvasive) / EPI (Electrolysis Percutanea Intratisular) / EPTE (Electrólisis Percutanea Terapeutica) is a modern method of regenerative medicine. One of these abbreviations is known to specialists in the field of musculoskeletal or, most often, sports medicine. Modern medical centers of professional sports clubs cannot do without EMI/EPI/EPTE in the treatment of athletes' injuries, especially of chronic injuries.
A brief history: A minimally invasive physiotherapy technique created by Dr. José Manuel Sánchez Ibáñez in 1998. Until 2010, the technique underwent numerous clinical trials and underwent various revisions and improvements. Since 2011, EPI has been implemented in the world's leading rehabilitation centers and professional sports clubs.
What is EPI: The technology consists of ultrasound-controlled insertion of a special needle into damaged tissues and the use of a specially selected direct current, which triggers an electrochemical reaction exclusively in the damaged area.
A process of non-thermal ablation occurs, which triggers a local, aseptic, controlled inflammatory response consisting of activation of cellular mechanisms involved in phagocytosis.
The goal of therapy is the regeneration of damaged tissue. Thus, the recovery time is accelerated and the best results in treatment and rehabilitation are achieved.
THE MAIN AREAS OF EPI EXPOSURE:
ligaments
tendons
scarring
muscles
EPI effect: it is worth noting that the procedure itself has a bacteriostatic effect, which eliminates the possibility of septic infection of the patient even in case of insufficient treatment of the surgical field.
Shortening the time of tissue regeneration, the absence of systemic negative effects, stable results, clear visualization, and localization of exposure, in combination with specific physical exercises/workouts, makes EPI one of the leading safe and effective rehabilitation methods in professional and amateur sports.
This method provides a huge advantage in the treatment of athletes who often suffer from chronic tendinitis, inflammation of ligaments, impingement syndromes and so on.
Of course, this technique is also applicable to patients who are not related to sports, but, due to their professional or other activities, have chronic injuries and long-term pain syndromes.
