electrical stimulation (E-stim)

Electrical stimulation is a commonly used therapy in chiropractic clinical settings to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The therapy involves using a device that delivers electrical impulses to the affected area of the body. The impulses can be delivered through electrodes placed on the skin, or by using a handheld device that is placed directly on the skin.

In chiropractic practice, electrical stimulation is often used in combination with other treatments, such as manual adjustments, myofascial release, percussion therapy to provide more comprehensive care. E-stim therapy has been shown to be effective in treating conditions that cause muscle spasms or nerve pain, such as sciatica or whiplash.
