Hako-Med Electrotherapy Systems
Hako-Med Advanced Electrotherapy: Effective, Non-Narcotic Solutions for Pain & Neuropathy in Your Practice.
What Is Hako-Med Horizontal Therapy?
Hako-Med horizontal therapy (also written HakoMed or Hako Med) is an FDA-cleared electrotherapy method used in physician offices and physical therapy practices to manage pain and support circulation. Most electrotherapy addresses either the bioelectrical or the biochemical side of cellular communication. Horizontal therapy targets both at the same time in a single session by modulating frequency while holding bioelectric intensity steady. That is the main difference from a traditional TENS unit, which delivers a single lower-frequency stimulation intended mostly for symptomatic relief. Hako-Med systems, including the ProElec DT 2000, are used as a non-narcotic option for musculoskeletal pain, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, muscle spasm, post-surgical recovery support, and peripheral circulation support. HealthWright Technologies supplies Hako-Med systems to independent practices along with installation, staff training, and clinical protocol support. Treatment protocols are set by the treating physician after individual patient assessment.
Introducing Hako-Med Horizontal Therapy
Key Benefits of Hako-Med Therapy for Your Patients & Practice
Effective Non-Narcotic Pain Relief:
Provide a powerful alternative or complement to pharmacological pain management for a wide array of acute and chronic pain conditions.
Versatile Treatment Applications:
Successfully address conditions such as back pain, neck pain, nerve pain (including peripheral neuropathy), fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, joint swelling, and post-operative pain.
Dual Bioelectrical & Biochemical Action:
Unique therapy that influences cellular communication on multiple levels for potentially enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
Improved Circulation & Reduced Inflammation:
Low-frequency settings can improve circulation, lymphatic flow, and reduce swelling and pain. Higher frequencies can enhance immune function, muscle activation, and metabolism.
Patient-Friendly & Safe:
Treatments are generally painless, with many patients not even feeling the current. Hako-Med devices are rigorously tested and meet biomedical device standards.
Expand Your Practice’s Service Offerings:
Introduce an advanced, in-demand therapy that can attract new patients and provide better solutions for existing ones.

How Hako-Med Horizontal Therapy Benefits Your Practice
Hako-Med horizontal therapy systems offer a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain management that addresses the root causes of chronic pain conditions rather than simply masking symptoms. Using patented horizontal therapy technology, these systems deliver precisely calibrated electrical stimulation that simultaneously targets intracellular biochemical processes and intercellular bioelectrical communication. This dual mechanism enables effective treatment for conditions including neuropathy, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, post-surgical recovery, and chronic inflammation, providing patients with lasting relief and improved quality of life.
For independent practices, Hako-Med represents a clinical advancement in non-narcotic pain management. The system creates a new clinical service offering that attracts patients seeking alternatives to pharmaceutical pain management. HealthWright Technologies provides complete practice integration support including equipment installation, clinical protocol development, staff training, and marketing materials to help practices build a successful pain management service line from day one.
Building a Pain Management Service Line with Hako-Med
Adding Hako-Med Horizontal Therapy to your independent practice creates a dedicated pain management service line that differentiates your practice from competitors and addresses growing patient demand for non-narcotic pain relief options. With the ongoing national focus on reducing opioid dependence, physicians who offer evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical pain management alternatives are increasingly sought by patients and referral sources alike. Hako-Med therapy provides a clinically sophisticated option that complements existing treatment protocols and can serve as either a standalone therapy or part of a multimodal pain management approach.
HealthWright Technologies supports practices in building successful pain management programs by providing not only the Hako-Med equipment but also the clinical protocols, staff training, patient education materials, and practice marketing support needed to attract and retain pain management patients. Our team helps you identify the patient populations most likely to benefit from horizontal therapy, establish treatment scheduling workflows, and develop documentation practices that support appropriate reimbursement for therapeutic electrical stimulation services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hako-Med Horizontal Therapy
What is Hako-Med horizontal therapy?
Hako-Med is a horizontal therapy electrotherapy device used in physician offices and physical therapy practices for the treatment of pain and circulation issues. It is FDA-cleared and delivers frequency-modulated biphasic waveforms, which the manufacturer’s technical data specifies at 4,000 to 12,000 Hz, designed to support tissue healing.
What is the difference between Hako-Med and traditional TENS?
Traditional TENS units use lower-frequency stimulation primarily for symptomatic pain relief. Hako-Med horizontal therapy uses biphasic waveforms with different signal characteristics intended to support deeper tissue stimulation. Both are FDA-cleared electrotherapy modalities.
What conditions is Hako-Med typically used for?
Hako-Med is commonly used by physicians and physical therapists for musculoskeletal pain, peripheral circulation support, post-surgical recovery support, and as part of multimodal treatment programs. Specific clinical use depends on physician judgment.
Is Hako-Med covered by insurance?
Reimbursement varies by payer, region, and treatment context. Practices should verify coverage with their specific payers using applicable CPT codes for electrotherapy and physical medicine modalities.
