Ultrasound-guided galvanic electrolysis (USGET) is a technique most commonly used on chronically affected tissue. A galvanic current flows through an acupuncture needle producing an inflammatory reaction in the tissue. The inflammatory reaction will trigger a host of biological processes in the body. These will ultimately start the generation of new immature collagen fibres. The fibres become mature by means of eccentric stimulus.

There are patients who have been suffering for months or even years, and other forms of physical therapy have not produced the required results. Minimally invasive electrolysis therapy in combination with eccentric exercise may finally give these patients the healing they need without requiring surgery
