 REBOX CURRENT:
Rebox electrotherapeutic method is a non-invasive transcutaneous application of specific electric
currents to a living tissue. It is used to treat acute and chronic pain, immobility, musculoskeletal and
neurological disorders, and oedema .
The method was invented by Ing. Petr Slovak, Ph.D., a lecturer at Czech Technical University in
Prague, CZ. The name Rebox is derived from the “Rehabilitation Box” .
The specific impulses used in the method have a frequency of 2–4 kHz and pulse width of 100-300
μs. The weak electric currents introduced transcutaneously to the affected region have an intensity of
100-200 μA .

CONDITIONS IN REBOX TYPE OF CURRENT

1. TORTICOLLIS:
 Treatment: Use two parallel rows of points on either side of the spine,
with points spaced 2 cm apart. Treat distally from C1. Then treat in a
spiral around the focus of the spasm (may be determined by palpation).
 Cautions: In the first and second session preferably use GENTLE mode,
especially in sensitive patients. Keep strictly to the dorsal paravertebral
muscles
 Recommended Timetable: First week 3x, then according to patient
need. If possible immediately after the symptoms appear.
 Recommended Supplementary Therapy: We recommend gentle
manual massage immediately after Rebox therapy, then gentle exercises.
2. MANDIBULAR MUSCULAR SPASM
 Treatment: Treat in a spiral line around the mandibulo-maxillar joint
beginning approx. 3 cm from the joint (with distance approx. 15 mm
between points) and ending in the center of the joint (with a distance 4
- 5 mm between points).
 Cautions: Maximum of 30 points treated in the above described spiral
are enough. At the first session also treat the three branches of the
trigeminus. Use GENTLE mode if necessary.
 Recommended Timetable: For the first three days treat twice a day,
then once a day for four days, second week 4x - 5x, third week 2x, then
check after two weeks.
3. SPRAINED ANKLE
 Treatment: Treat distally in four parallel rows of points with distance
of points spaced 15- 20 mm apart. Then treat in a large spiral around the
ankle with points spaced approx. 5 mm apart. Treat both the lateral and
the medial side.
 Cautions: In first session use GENTLE mode because the treatment is
rather painful.
 Recommended Timetable: First week 3x, second week 2x - 3x, third
week 2x.

 4. LATERAL LIGAMENT DAMAGE
 Treatment: 3 - 4 rows of points from proximal to distal, with points
spaced 2 - 3 cm apart. Then in a spiral around the problem area with
distance of points 0.5 - 1 cm.
 Cautions: Do not apply Rebox in states with acute hyperemia (e.g.
immediately after surgery).
 Recommended Timetable: First week 2x - 3x, second week 2x, third
week 2x, fourth week 2x
