Electrical stimulation therapy is a safe and effective treatment used to relieve a variety of pain conditions, including headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, and pain in the arms or legs. This therapeutic approach involves applying electrical impulses
through the skin along nerve pathways, helping to block pain signals and stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. It uses low-voltage electrical currents to provide pain relief, especially for nerve-related pain—both acute and chronic. It targets specific areas to reduce muscle spasms, alleviate pain, and promote healing.
In addition to pain relief, electrical stimulation can help:
- Prevent muscle atrophy
- Improve muscle strength in patients recovering from injury
- Maintain muscle activity following spinal cord injuries
This non-invasive, drug-free therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program to support recovery and improve overall function.
