Iontophoresis and Homeopathics for Pain Relief

6-18 Iontophoresis Patches, Homeopathic Remedies and Vitamins

    In the medical literature iontophoresis has been successfully used to treat a variety of conditions including lateral epicondylitis, TMJ, acute Achilles tendinitis and can be used to control fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and cancers.
    As early as 1955, Schwartz described the use of hyaluronidase by iontophoresis in treatment of lymphedema, while in 1961, Jorns described the use of iontophoresis in arterial circulatory disorders and post-traumatic edema.
    In 1987, Traumeel, a homeopathic remedy for pain and inflammation was used with iontophoresis to treat sprains. (Die, 1987).
    Sharon W. Giammatteo, PhD, PT and Thomas Giammatteo, DC from the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics furthered developed the field with the use of iontophoresis patches and Heel’s Homotoxicology phase remedies.
