Physical therapists use electrical stimulation (aka e-stim) successfully as a treatment modality for a variety of conditions.
This type of therapy works by applying electrical stimulation via pads (electrodes) placed on the body. It reduces muscle pain and muscle spasms, it can work to prevent muscle atrophy and helps to build up muscle strength in patients that have suffered injuries.
E-Stim is a “part” of your overall physical therapy treatment – it is simply one of the modalities that can be used for your specific condition.
