A member asked:
Is it common to receive electrotherapy for radial or median nerve injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is not uncommon to use electortherapy for the condition you stated. However, how effective it will be is another debate. Medicare has recently stated that they will not cover treatment with tens (electrical stimulation), due to lack sufficient data to show benefit.
