Neuromuscular Therapeutics

Conventional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) relies on surface skin electrodes, causing significant epidermal discomfort, pain from cutaneous sensory nerve activation, and shallow current penetration. Iskra Medical (Slovenia) transformed modern physical medicine with Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) in the Tesla Care platform — generating high-intensity pulsed magnetic fields up to 3.0 Tesla that penetrate up to 10 cm deep to evoke painless, supra-maximal muscular contractions while patients remain fully clothed.

High-Intensity 3.0 Tesla Field
Magnetic induction generating powerful electric fields at cellular depth

Non-Invasive, Clothes-On Therapy
Complete patient dignity with zero skin contact or probe insertion required

Dual-Chair & Paddle Ergonomics
Integrated pelvic floor seat plus external articulated paddles for body treatments

Hands-Free Clinical Workflow
Automated treatment cycles freeing clinicians for concurrent patient care

1. The Biophysical Principle of Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS)

According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, a rapidly changing magnetic field induces a secondary electric field in conductive biological tissues. Unlike electrical currents which encounter high resistance (impedance) in the stratum corneum of the skin, magnetic fields pass through clothing, adipose tissue, and bone with virtually zero attenuation.

Once the magnetic pulse reaches deep motor nerves, the induced electric field depolarizes the neural axon membrane, generating action potentials that travel down to the motor endplates. This causes complete, synchronous contraction of entire muscle groups (such as the pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and sphincter complex), achieving supra-maximal contractions that patients cannot replicate through voluntary exercise alone.

2. Two Clinical Domains: Pelvic Health & Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

The versatility of the Iskra Medical Tesla Care system is reflected in its two core clinical configurations:

Pelvic Floor & Incontinence (Tesla Care Prestige)

Integrated chair applicator delivering 30,000 Kegel-equivalent contractions in a single 30-minute session. Proven efficacy in stress, urge, and mixed incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and post-prostatectomy recovery.

Spine, Core & Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Articulated external magnetic applicators placed over the lumbar spine, abdominals, gluteals, or quadriceps to relieve chronic lower back pain, rebuild muscle tone post-surgery, and treat spasticity.

Pain Relief & Microvascular Perfusion

Continuous cyclic contractions dramatically enhance venous and lymphatic return, flushing out nociceptive metabolites and inducing persistent pain suppression.

“For patient compliance in pelvic floor therapy, dignity and comfort are paramount. Tesla Care eliminates the need for intimate probes. Patients sit comfortably in the chair fully clothed for 30 minutes, and by session six, over 80% report a marked reduction in incontinence episodes.”
