Electrical Stimulation Therapy (also called e-stim or electrotherapy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions and nerve responses. At Levan Physical Therapy, we use this evidence-based technique to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance muscle performance during rehabilitation.
This therapy is widely trusted for its ability to support recovery, especially when used alongside manual therapy and exercise.
Electrical stimulation offers a wide range of therapeutic benefits:
At Levan Physical Therapy, we use e-stim to treat a variety of conditions, such as:
Back, neck, and joint pain
Muscle strains and sprains
Post-operative weakness
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
Tendonitis and bursitis
Neuromuscular dysfunction
Poor circulation
Our experienced physical therapists personalize the application of e-stim based on your specific goals and health conditions. Here’s how the process works:
Targeted Assessment – We identify the specific muscles or nerves requiring stimulation.
Electrode Placement – Small pads are placed on the skin in the treatment area.
Controlled Stimulation – We adjust pulse frequency, duration, and intensity to match your comfort and clinical needs.
Therapy Integration – E-stim is often used alongside manual therapy, mobility exercises, and other rehab techniques.
Most patients find e-stim sessions relaxing and notice improvement even after the first few treatments.
