How Electrical Stimulation Therapy Works
Electrical stimulation therapy uses different types of electrical impulses to achieve specific therapeutic goals.
Our treatment includes:
• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Low-voltage electrical impulses that block pain signals and provide relief for acute and chronic pain.
• NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation): Electrical impulses that activate muscles to improve strength, prevent atrophy, and re-educate muscles after injury or surgery.
• IFC (Interferential Current): Deep-penetrating electrical currents that reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation in deeper tissues.
• Russian Stimulation: A form of NMES used for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation.
We select the appropriate type and settings based on your condition and treatment goals.
