ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation (ES) is a way to help our body using small electrical currents. It can be used for many different reasons, like reducing pain, making muscles stronger, and helping with healing.
Types
TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, helps reduce pain by sending small electrical pulses through the skin to block pain signals. NMES, or Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation, strengthens muscles by causing them to contract, which is useful for people recovering from injuries. FES, or Functional Electrical Stimulation, aids people with nerve issues, like those after a stroke, to move their muscles again.
Side effect
This treatment is mostly safe, but there can be some side effects. You might feel a bit sore or uncomfortable in the treated area, kind of like after a workout. Sometimes, it can cause muscle spasms or pain that spreads to other parts of your body. Your skin might also get a little red or irritated where the electrodes are placed. It’s important to talk to a doctor before starting therapy to make sure it is right for you and to reduce any potential risks.
Benefits
Pain relief involves reducing pain by blocking pain signals and releasing natural painkillers. Muscle strengthening helps make weak muscles stronger by causing them to contract. Improved circulation increases blood flow to the area, promoting healing. Neurological rehabilitation helps people with nerve problems regain movement. Non-invasive treatments are safe and easy to use without surgery.
