    Why Is Electrical Stimulation Used In Physical 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…

    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…

  • Muscle Stimulation Therapy

    Muscle Stimulation Therapy

    Muscle stimulation therapy, also known as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), is a non-invasive treatment that uses 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…

  • Muscle Shock Therapy

    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,…
