Hako-Med Electrotherapy in Novato, CA
Non-Invasive Therapy for Pain Relief, Circulation, and Recovery
Hako-Med Electrotherapy, also known as Horizontal Therapy, is a gentle treatment that uses electrical and magnetic energy to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and support tissue healing.
At DeSalvo Chiropractic in Novato, CA, Hako-Med therapy may be used as part of a broader treatment plan for chronic pain, nerve irritation, inflammation, and recovery from injury.
What Is Hako-Med Therapy?
Hako-Med is a medical electrotherapy system that combines low-level electrical currents with magnetic fields. This treatment is designed to stimulate healing processes in the body while helping calm pain signals and improve function.
Because the therapy is non-invasive and generally comfortable, it is often used for patients looking for conservative treatment options before medications, injections, or surgery.
How Hako-Med Electrotherapy Works
Your body naturally relies on electrical signals for muscle contraction, nerve communication, and healing. Hako-Med therapy is designed to support these processes through targeted energy delivery.
Potential benefits may include:
- reduced pain sensitivity
- improved circulation
- decreased swelling and inflammation
- better lymphatic flow
- support for tissue repair
- improved muscle activation
- enhanced nerve communication
- faster recovery after injury
Treatment settings can be adjusted depending on the condition being addressed
