Pelvic Floor Stimulation
Pelvic floor stimulation, also known as pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES), is a form of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder and rectum, and are responsible for controlling urinary and…

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 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,…

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…

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 Muscle Stimulation Therapy
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy 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. The electrical impulses are delivered through electrodes placed on the skin near the…

Electrical Stimulation Therapy For Lower Back Pain
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…
