What is Electric Stim?
Electric stimulation (also referred to as electric stim or e-stim) therapy is a type of treatment that sends relaxing electric currents directly to the muscles of an injured area. E-Stim in Utah is used primarily to treat muscle spasms and pain. When turning on the device we check with you to make sure it’s not too uncomfortable, and it stays at a safe level the whole treatment.
How Does Electric Stim Work? and What are the Benefits?
Small electric stimulation pads are connected (pads are sticky) directly to the skin of the patient surrounding the injured area. This could be your neck, low, back, knee, shoulder, arms, even on specific muscles on your legs. Wherever you need some extra relaxation.
The pads are then connected to a little machine that will send the light and mild waves of electrical pulses through the skin to help target your nerves or muscles. Electric stim therapy will help ease muscle pain and aid recovery by sending signals to the muscles that make them contract and release which helps improve blood flow and circulation, which in turn helps to repair the injured muscles. The repeated cycle of contraction and release can also help to strengthen affected muscles.
This type of treatment can also target the nerves by sending out a different set of signals to the nerves, which can block pain receptors to the brain and influence pain relief.
“We’ve seen the transformative effects of electric stimulation therapy on our patients’ recovery processes. This treatment uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate muscles, reduce pain, and promote healing. “
