Vitalstim
VitalStim is a specific type of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy that is used to treat dysphagia, which is difficulty swallowing. The therapy uses low-voltage electrical current to stimulate the muscles used for swallowing, which can help to improve muscle strength and function. In this article, we will discuss the mechanism of action, applications, benefits,…

Interferential Stimulation
Interferential stimulation (IFS) is a form of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) that uses low-frequency electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles. The therapy is used to relieve pain, improve muscle strength and endurance, and promote healing in conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and injuries. It can also be used as a form of physical…

Electric Stimulation Therapy NHS
Electric Stimulation Therapy (EST) is a type of physical therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate the muscles and relieve pain. The electrical stimulation is delivered through electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area and is designed to activate the underlying muscles, reducing muscle spasms, improving circulation, and promoting healing. EST is…
