Electrical Stimulation Could Finally Relieve Your Chronic Pain
Electrical stimulation is a safe and efficient treatment procedure that may provide pain relief and recovery for you. While it can sound overwhelming, it is in reality a very effective way to relieve pain!
A typical electrical stimulation system uses self-adhesive electrodes that are mounted on the body around the target treatment area. The electrodes are then connected to the device through wire leads, through which a specific electrical current passes into the body. Certain electrical stimulation can help decrease pain and swelling. Other electrical stimulation can help to strengthen weak muscles.
Electrical stimulation has a variety of other benefits, including:
- Increase local circulation
- Decrease swelling
- Provide neuromuscular re-education
- Prevent or reverse muscle atrophy (especially after prolonged immobilization, such as a limb being cast as a fracture heals)
- Improve motor coordination
- Reduce muscle spasm
- Reduce, eliminate, and/or control pain (both acute and chronic)
