Uses of Sinusoidal Current
During treatment of the abdomen for one of these conditions, the internal contraction may be felt, as if the bowel, for instance, were being drawn up into normal position, or as if the peristalsis were being made stronger. This is what actually happens. These are excellent currents to use when some mechanical effect that cannot be produced otherwise is desired. The sinusoidal current is used frequently with great benefit also in bronchitis, goiter (to seventh cervical vertebra), incontinence of urine (over th’e fifth lumbar verte¬bra), anemia (to the tenth dorsal and second lumbar verte¬brae), aneurism, angina pectoris, arthritis deformans, asthma (rapid current to spine), and in local atonic and in paralytic conditions.
