What Is Iontophoresis?

Iontophoresis is a noninvasive treatment that uses a mild electrical current to deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly through the skin to the affected area. Instead of taking medication by mouth or injection, this method allows the medication to reach the tissues where it is needed most.

During treatment, small electrodes are placed on the skin near the area of concern. A low-level current gently pushes the medication into the underlying tissues. Most patients experience mild tingling, and sessions are typically brief and well-tolerated.

Because iontophoresis targets a specific area, it can be an effective option for managing inflammation while minimizing systemic side effects.

Conditions Commonly Treated with Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is often used as part of a comprehensive physical therapy plan for conditions such as:

Tendonitis, including shoulder, knee, or elbow pain
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Bursitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
Localized soft tissue inflammation

One of the Choice Physical Therapy physical therapists will work with you to determine if this treatment fits your specific diagnosis and recovery goals.

Why Patients Choose This Targeted Approach

One of the main advantages of iontophoresis is its ability to deliver medication directly to irritated tissues.

This focused approach can help:

Reduce inflammation and swelling in a specific area
Decrease pain without relying solely on oral medications
Support faster healing of soft tissues

Improve comfort during movement and daily activities
Complement exercise and manual therapy for better overall outcomes

Because it is noninvasive, iontophoresis can be a helpful option for patients who want to avoid injections or who may not tolerate oral medications.

A Personalized Plan for Better Results

At Choice Physical Therapy, iontophoresis is never used as a standalone solution. Instead, we integrate it into a broader treatment plan that may include guided exercise, hands-on care, and education to help you move with confidence again.

We don’t just want to reduce your symptoms; we want to address the underlying cause of your condition.

The team provides polite, attentive, and personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs. Every session is focused and thoughtfully adjusted as I progress. The facility is clean, organized, and comfortable, and scheduling appointments has always been easy. Highly recommend!
