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…

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,…

Interferential Current
Interferential current (IFC) is a type of electrical stimulation therapy that is used to reduce pain and improve muscle function. It is a low-frequency form of electrical stimulation that uses two different electrical currents, which are applied to the patient’s skin through electrodes. These two currents create an interference pattern that penetrates deeper into the…

Electric Stimulation Occupational Therapy
Electrotherapy massagers are a type of physical therapy device that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles and improve muscle function and strength. These devices are typically handheld and come equipped with various attachments that can be placed on different areas of the body, such as the back, neck, or legs. The most common type…

EMS Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical Muscle Stimulation, also known as EMS, is a very popular way to shake the muscles and prevent muscle atrophy. Some patients need it desperately, that’s why a lot of doctors use it on a regular basis. EMS is good when the patient has been suffering from strong injuries and is put to bed for…
