Abstract

A method and apparatus for treating osteoarthritis symptoms including pain, joint stiffness, limitation of range of motion and limitation of overall function through the use of subsensory unidirectional voltage pulses in the frequency range of 90 to 110 hertz applied to non-invasive conductive electrodes in contact with a patient's skin proximal to an arthritic joint.
