Stim Therapy San Jos
Electrical stimulation, or e-stim, is a physical therapy technique that may help you recover from an injury or stroke, manage the discomfort of fibromyalgia, or treat another ailment. E-stim stimulates damaged muscles or modifies nerves to lessen pain by sending tiny electrical pulses through the skin. While e-stim may not be suitable for every individual, it is a harmless therapy that is speeding up recuperation and relieving discomforting or unpleasant symptoms for a large number of people. Stim Therapy San Jose by Chiro Care Clinics provide specialists and offer comprehensive care.
What is e-stim?
Electrical pulses are used in e-stim to simulate the effect of neuronal messages. These low-voltage electrical currents can go after nerves or muscles. E-stim therapy stimulates certain muscles to contract in order to aid in muscle rehabilitation. Repeatedly contracting muscles promotes blood flow, which aids in the healing of damaged muscles.
E-stim treatment for the repair of muscles causes the targeted muscles to contract by sending impulses to them. (Bicep flexion is one type of muscle contraction.) Repeatedly contracting muscles promotes blood flow, which aids in the healing of damaged muscles.
Repetitive contraction and relaxation cycles strengthen those muscles as well. Additionally, e-stim can “train” muscles to contract in response to the body’s natural impulses. For stroke survivors, who essentially need to relearn basic motor functions, this is an exceptionally valuable benefit.
An e-stim designed specifically for pain management emits signals at a particular wavelength, which allows the signals to reach the nerves instead of the muscles. Pain receptors can be prevented from being transmitted from nerves to the brain by electrical stimulation.
What are the main types of e-stim?
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are the two primary forms of electrostimulation.
Tens
Both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) pain can be treated using TENS. Electrodes are applied to the skin close to the pain’s origin. To stop or at least lessen the pain signals that are being sent to the brain, signals are conveyed through nerve fibers.
EMS
In order to get muscles to contract, EMS employs a little greater current than TENS. The electrodes of the device produce periodic contractions when they are applied to the skin close to the injured muscles. If the user tries to contract the muscle at the same time, this can help them become stronger.
Different kinds of e-stim
Your doctor or physical therapist may suggest additional e-stim treatments in addition to TENS and EMS.
How much does e-stim cost?
Your insurance company may pay for e-stim just like it would for other physical therapy treatments if it is a component of a comprehensive program. Simple, beginning TENS or EMS systems can be purchased for as little as $20. Systems with greater functionality and durability at the higher end might run into the several hundred-dollar range.
