Electrical Stimulation at Premier Care Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

Electrical stimulation (E-stim) is a therapeutic modality that uses controlled electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves, helping to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore function. It’s a widely used, non-invasive technique that supports both acute and chronic recovery.

What is Electrical Stimulation?

Electrical stimulation involves placing small electrodes on the skin over targeted areas. These electrodes deliver gentle electrical impulses that mimic natural nerve signals. Depending on the settings, E-stim can be used for pain relief (TENS), muscle activation (NMES), or improving circulation and reducing spasms.

Benefits of Electrical Stimulation

• Pain Management: Blocks pain signals and stimulates natural endorphin release.
• Muscle Re-Education: Helps retrain weakened muscles after injury or surgery.
• Reduced Swelling & Inflammation: Enhances lymphatic flow and circulation.
• Improved Range of Motion: Eases muscle stiffness and spasms.
• Faster Healing: Promotes tissue recovery through increased blood flow and nerve activation.
