Electrical Stimulation Therapy is a medical treatment that uses electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and muscles. This therapy can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing in various conditions, such as injuries or chronic pain. It is often used in physical therapy settings to aid recovery and enhance muscle function.
The therapy typically involves placing electrodes on the skin, which deliver controlled electrical signals. These signals can help block pain signals to the brain and encourage muscle contractions. Physical therapists often customize the treatment based on individual needs, making it a versatile option for rehabilitation and pain management.
