Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation (estim) utilizes electrical currents to elicit muscle contractions and provide pain relief for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.  Estim has the potential to be used as a training tool for neuromuscular reeducation, a short- and long-term option for pain relief, and a rehabilitation tool for immobilized patients.  Check out the motor and pain relief pages for more details on how these modalities work and how they are best utilized.
