Electrical Stimulation therapy, also known as e-stim, is a popular and highly effective service at ACT Chiropractic for managing pain, enhancing muscle performance, and supporting rehabilitation. By applying mild electrical pulses to targeted areas of the body, this treatment helps reduce inflammation, alleviate muscle spasms, and promote circulation.
One of the most common uses of Electrical Stimulation is for muscle re-education, especially following an injury or surgery. It stimulates muscle contractions, helping to maintain muscle tone and prevent atrophy during periods of limited mobility. It’s also helpful in strengthening muscles and improving range of motion.
Many patients find Electrical Stimulation to be both relaxing and therapeutic. The sensation is often described as a gentle tingling or massaging feeling, and treatments are short and convenient, typically lasting 10–20 minutes. It can be easily integrated into your chiropractic treatment plan.
ACT Chiropractic uses this therapy to complement spinal adjustments and other modalities, helping to speed recovery and enhance overall results. It’s a safe and versatile option for patients of all ages and activity levels.
