Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is a form of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy that uses low-frequency electrical impulses to relieve pain, improve muscle strength and endurance, and promote healing in conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and injuries. PENS is a percutaneous, or non-invasive, form of therapy, which means it does not require the…

Pelvic Floor Stimulation
Pelvic floor stimulation, also known as pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES), is a form of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder and rectum, and are responsible for controlling urinary and…

NMES Therapy
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) therapy is a type of physical therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles. It is used to improve muscle strength, endurance, and function in patients with a variety of conditions, such as muscle weakness, paralysis, or muscle atrophy. NMES therapy involves the use of a device that delivers electrical…

Neuromuscularelectrical Stimulation Occupational Therapy
Electrical stimulation and electromagnetic therapy are forms of treatment that are used to promote wound healing and reduce the risk of complications associated with wounds. These therapies use low-level electrical currents and electromagnetic fields to stimulate the tissues and promote the healing process. Electrical stimulation therapy (EST) involves the use of low-level electrical currents to…

Nerve Stimulation Therapy
Nerve stimulation therapy, also known as neuro-modulation, is a type of medical treatment that uses electrical impulses to stimulate specific nerves in the body in order to alleviate chronic pain, neurological conditions, and other chronic medical conditions. There are several different types of nerve stimulation therapies available, each with its own set of benefits and…

Muscle Stimulation
Muscle stimulation, also known as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), is a technique that uses electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles in the body. This technique has been used for decades in the fields of physical therapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation to help individuals with a wide range of conditions. There are several subtopics related…

Muscle Stims
Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of a muscle, a group of muscles. Often they happen suddenly without any prior warning. Although muscle spasms tend to be harmless and only last a few minutes, they can occasionally be accompanied by sudden sharp bursts of pain causing the sufferer to feel very uncomfortable. Spasmism is when a…

Muscle Shock Therapy
Muscle shock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is a medical treatment that uses electrical stimulation to induce a seizure in the brain. The treatment is primarily used to treat severe mental health conditions, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. In this article, we will discuss the mechanism of action, indications,…

Microcurrent Point Stimulation
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy is a relatively new form of physical therapy that uses very low-voltage electrical impulses to stimulate specific points on the body. The therapy is based on the principle that the body’s cells have electrical properties, and that by applying small electrical currents to specific points, the cells can be stimulated…
