Electrical Muscle Stimulation (E-stim)

E-stim, or electrical muscle stimulation, is a physical therapy procedure that uses mild electrical pulses to repair injured muscles and reduce pain. Whether you’ve recently sustained a car accident injury or are dealing with a chronic condition, electrical muscle stimulation can help speed up recovery and provide relief from pain.

Benefits of E-stim Treatment

Electrical muscle stimulation is an effective pain relief treatment for many different types of painful conditions. This treatment method has a multitude of benefits as an alternative solution for pain relief. Electrical muscle stimulation is:

- Painless

- Drug-free

- Surgery-free

- Quick and hassle-free

E-stim is incredibly effective at:

Reducing swelling
Increasing circulation
Speeding up wound healing
Treating many different types of pain and conditions
Increasing strength
Repairing damaged muscles and nerves
Improving endurance and overall well-being
Increasing mobility and function

How Does It Work?

Electrical muscle stimulation sends electrical pulses that penetrate through the skin to stimulate injured muscles and assist the nerves to reduce pain. The electrical pulses used in this effective method of treatment mimic the action of neuron signals, and target the muscles and nerves. These impulses cause the muscles to contract and relax, which improves blood flow and helps to repair and strengthen the injured muscles.

E-stim wavelengths can be adjusted depending on the severity and type of pain. Certain wavelengths focus on contracting and repairing the muscles, while other types will target the nerves to block pain receptors that would normally be sent from the nerves to the brain.

What Can You Expect During an Electrical Muscle Stimulation?

2. Electrical currents begin pulsing on a low setting and gradually increase.

3. You may feel a tingly pins-and-needles sensation in the area receiving treatment.

4. You may also feel your muscle contract repeatedly.

5. The whole session will last around 5-15 minutes, depending on the severity of your condition.

6. Many people feel better after just one treatment, but you may need a few sessions until your pain is completely healed.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation as an Alternative Treatment Option

When you are dealing with a painful injury or chronic condition, there are many different treatment options to look into. It’s important to weigh all of your options before deciding on the solution that’s right for you.

Some of the more conventional treatment options, such as medication and surgery, can help, but there are many risks and side effects involved in these methods. Some of these can include potential painkiller addictions, lengthy downtime, and risk of infection post-surgery.

E-stim penetrates deep into the nerves and muscles to repair your pain right at the source for effective, lasting relief.
