galvanic bath
Galvanic bath is an alternative medical treatment (a type of electrotherapy) based on the simultaneous use of water and electric current. The patient lies in a 34 degree Celsius bath, while gentle electric current is passed through his or her body.
Galvanic baths are mostly used in the treatment of degenerative diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and problems with the joints. The treatment lasts about 15 minutes.
== Types ==
In addition to full galvanic baths, when the patient's body is fully immersed in water, there are also ''four-chambered galvanic baths'' (also called ''four cell galvanic baths''), which also combine electrical energy and hydrotherapy, but are used only on the limbs. Patient's forearms and lower legs are put in water trays, and electric current is passed through warm water. This procedure is said to improve the circulation, reduce pain and was considered especially beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis though no studies have been done to confirm these claims.
