Electrical Stimulation Therapy Paralysis
Paralysis is a medical condition characterized by the loss or reduction of muscle function in one or more parts of the body. This can result from damage to the nervous system, including the spinal cord, nerves, or brain. Paralysis can affect one side of the body (hemiplegia) or both legs (paraplegia) and both arms and…

Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal disorders that cause progressive vision loss. The condition is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the photoreceptor cells in the retina, leading to their gradual degeneration over time. RP is one of the most common causes of inherited blindness, affecting millions of people worldwide. The…

Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Neuropathy
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…
