Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to promote healing and relieve pain. It involves applying small electrical currents to the skin or muscles, which can help improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate nerve function. This method is often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings.
There are various types of electrical stimulation, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Each type targets different conditions and areas of the body. Electrical stimulation is generally considered safe and can be an effective part of a comprehensive treatment plan for pain management and muscle recovery.
