Electrical Stimulation Hand Therapy
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…

Electric Stimulation Therapy Side Effects
Skin irritation or redness is a common side effect of electric stimulation therapy. This occurs when the electrodes that are used to deliver the electrical stimulation to the skin cause discomfort, itching, or inflammation. The skin may also become red and swollen in the area of the electrodes, which is known as erythema. The severity…

Electric Pulse Therapy
Electrical stimulation, also referred to as e-stim, is a tool that applies electrical stimulation to a muscle or muscle group for pain, spasticity and muscle contraction. It is placed on your skin by electrodes that come in different sizes to the specific area you want to treat. The electrodes deliver impulses through the skin to…
