Improve Your Health with Electrical Stimulation Therapy

If you’re recovering from an injury or suffering from a painful illness, you’re no doubt looking for relief. One of the treatments we offer in our health and wellness center is electrical stimulation therapy. This is a safe, effective procedure that involves the placement of self-adhesive electrodes around the treatment area. The electrodes are connected with wire to the electrical stimulation device and the electricity interacts with the motor and/or sensory nerves. If you believe electrical muscle stimulation therapy could relieve your symptoms, reach out to our team to learn more.

Benefits of Electrical Stimulation Physical Therapy

Many people are prescribed chiropractic electrical stimulation to help with the management of chronic or acute pain. By stimulating certain nerve fibers, the treatment can reduce pain and trigger the release of neurotransmitters that keep you feeling pain-free for longer. There are other electrical muscle stimulation benefits including:

• Reduced muscle spasms
• Improved motor coordination
• Better range of motion
• Reduced swelling
• Prevention or reversal of muscle atrophy
• Enhanced body awareness

Electrical stimulation is often recommended as a treatment for:

• Sprains and strains
• Stroke and other neurological conditions
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Sports or accident-related injuries
• Arthritis 
• Back pain 
• Fibromyalgia 
• Neuropathy 

Electrical muscle stimulation therapy can be used in conjunction with acupuncture, spinal adjustments, and corrective exercises. It can be performed on any part of the body. However, it isn’t recommended for people with pacemakers, deep vein thrombosis, or impaired cognition. Pregnant women would also be advised against electrical stimulation therapy.
