    What Is Electric Stimulation 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…
