What is E-Stim Therapy?
E-Stim (electrical stimulation) Therapy is when electric pulses are sent into the body in an effort to stimulate and relax muscles. Healthline.com says: “E-stim therapy for muscle recovery sends signals to targeted muscles to make them contract. (Flexing your biceps is a form of muscle contraction.) By causing repeated muscle contractions, blood flow improves, helping repair injured muscles. Those muscles also improve their strength through repeated cycles of contraction and relaxation. E-stim can also “train” muscles to respond to the body’s natural signals to contract.”
There are many uses for E-Stim therapy, including, but not limited to:
- back pain
- cancer-related pain
- dysphagia (trouble swallowing)
- fibromyalgia
- joint pain
- arthritis
- muscle conditioning (mostly for athletes, such as long-distance runners)
- muscle injury from trauma or disease
- nerve inflammation
- poor muscle strength
- urinary incontinence
- spinal cord injury
- stroke
- surgery recovery
