Often referred to as “muscle stim,” this therapy uses low-level electrical impulses to reduce pain and accelerate healing in injured or painful tissues. It’s commonly used to treat both acute and chronic pain, including strains and sprains in muscles, joints, and soft tissues.
How It Works: Electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area, stimulating the body to release natural pain relievers called endorphins. These endorphins help reduce pain and inflammation, promoting faster healing of the injured tissues.
What It Feels Like: Patients often describe the sensation as a pleasant “tingling” or “electrical massage” as the impulses stimulate the body’s healing response.
Why It’s Used: This therapy is used to treat acute or chronic pain, muscle strains, sprains, and soft tissue injuries, helping to speed up recovery.
Benefits: Muscle stimulation reduces pain and inflammation, enhances natural pain relief through endorphin release, and accelerates tissue healing.
