Lucía and Sara Manso, physiotherapists specialized in manual therapy with very little electrotherapy in their usual practice, discovered NESA through social media and decided to incorporate it as a treatment route they could not previously reach, complementing their manual work with diathermy with a more global approach tool.
Their most outstanding clinical case is a patient with long-evolution chronic pain and kinesiophobia — fear of movement — who had been in treatment for years. Since they combine manual therapy, exercise and NESA, the patient reports something very specific and significant: anti-inflammatory medication has more effect on him, covering him better the hours it should cover. An indirect indicator that the regulation of the autonomic nervous system is improving the pharmacological response.
They precisely describe the ideal patient profile for NESA: one with intermittent and changing pains — today one thing hurts, tomorrow another — where in the background there is something more general that is not being treated and that perpetuates the vicious circle. They especially value that patients who begin to improve with NESA become more optimistic about their evolution, an attitudinal change that facilitates the entire therapeutic process.
