Galvanofaradization

/ˌɡælvənoʊˌfærədɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A medical treatment combining galvanic current with faradic current (alternating electrical current) for therapeutic purposes.

Etymology

From galvano- (direct electrical current) plus Faradization (from Michael Faraday, relating to alternating current). This blends two types of electrical therapy.

Kelly Says

Galvanofaradization combined two types of electricity—Galvani's steady current and Faraday's alternating current—to treat muscle paralysis and nerve damage, making it the original 'dual therapy'!
