Used in therapy for many years, High Volt Galvanic Therapy is typically used for pain relief and to stimulate wound healing. To accomplish this goal, a unidirectional direct current with low amperage is used to stimulate the area. The galvanic stimulation combines a very short pulse duration of constant intensity with high peak voltage while still maintaining a low total current per second. In this way, the current helps to stimulate blood flow and deep tissues while avoiding tissue damage. It also effectively excites nerve fibers. As such, the procedure is frequently used for injuries that are associated with swelling or bleeding.

Due to the nature of High Volt Galvanic Therapy, it has become a popular choice for treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetic foot. By combining a very short duration with a therapeutic voltage greater than 100 volts, the treatment can effectively excite sensory, motor and pain-conducting nerve fibers in a relatively comfortable manner.
