Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
The application of pulsating electrical currents to the body through electrodes creates a response from nerves, which can stimulate sensory fibers to block pain or stimulate motor fibers to activate muscle contractions. By utilizing various frequencies, electrical stimulation can provide the following:
- Symptomatic relief of chronic, acute post traumatic or acute post surgical pain
- Temporary relaxation of muscle spasm
- Increase of blood flow to the treatment area
- Prevention or slowing of muscle atrophy in post-injury conditions
- Muscle re-education
