For decades there has been a prevailing claim that TENS, EMS, FES and MENS treatments should not be performed near or directly over metal implants. But is there really so much to fear? What is the truth?
As electrical treatments are becoming increasingly common and many devices for home use are available, it is important to know whether these devices carry any risks.
People have long been wary of electricity — partly with good reason. However, the prohibitions related to electrotherapy devices are slowly but surely being overturned!
But let’s look at this step by step!
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chronic diseases as long‑lasting, generally slowly progressing conditions that are among the leading causes of adult morbidity and mortality worldwide.
I see many ads for all kinds of slimming devices, including muscle stimulators. But does a muscle stimulator really help you lose weight? I have to say that, by itself, a muscle stimulator produces only modest slimming, but combined with other methods (diet and exercise) it can significantly speed up the process.

Our healthcare system is the chronic patient of our country. We have known this for decades.
I am Dr. Zsolt Zátrok, a physician.
