Iontophoresis is a safe and reliable treatment for people who have edema, skin ulcers, pain, inflammation, tendinitis-bursitis-arthritis, fungal infection, calcium deposits, or scar tissue. It is an ion transfer of topical solutions into the skin and mucous membranes of the body by continuous direct current. The fact that similar charges repel is a key principal to the process of iontophoresis. When an ionic substance dissolves in water, ionization occurs resulting in a solution called electrolytes, which are capable of conducting electrical current. A direct current of electricity assures maximal ion transfer. There are a number of factors that can alter the effectiveness and the number of ions transferring. There are guidelines a doctor must follow in order to preform iontophoresis properly. There are very few reasons an individual would be unable to have iontophoresis performed on them. Iontophoresis is a very safe, reliable treatment based on well known...
