Electrode Placement
Small adhesive electrode pads are placed over the target muscles or pain areas. The placement is based on your specific condition and muscle groups involved.
Calibrated Current Delivery
A controlled, low-frequency electrical current is delivered through the electrodes. The intensity is adjusted to your comfort level — you'll feel a mild, rhythmic contraction or tingling sensation.
Muscle Rehabilitation
The electrical current causes muscle contractions that mimic voluntary exercise, rehabilitating weakened muscles, flushing out metabolic waste, and reducing spasm in overactive muscles.
Integration with Chiropractic
E-stim is typically used before or after chiropractic adjustments to relax tight muscles, making spinal manipulation more effective and comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is electrical stimulation safe?
Yes. E-stim has been used in physical therapy and chiropractic settings for decades. The current levels used are very low and carefully calibrated to your comfort and therapeutic needs.
What does it feel like?
Most patients describe a mild tingling or rhythmic pulsing sensation. It's not painful — many find it surprisingly relaxing, similar to a deep muscle massage.
Who should not use electrical stimulation?
E-stim is not recommended for patients with pacemakers, active implanted devices, or over areas of open wounds, infections, or malignancy. We review your health history before every treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
E-stim is typically part of a broader care plan. Most patients receive it during their regular chiropractic visits over 4–8 weeks, with frequency depending on injury severity.
