Electrical Simulation
Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim) uses controlled electrical impulses delivered through skin electrodes to stimulate nerves and/or muscles for therapeutic effects.
Mechanism of Action
How It Works
Pain Gate Control (TENS Effect) → Electrical signals “override” pain signals traveling to the brain → reduces pain perception
Endorphin Release → Stimulates the body’s natural painkillers → longer-lasting pain relief
Muscle Activation (NMES)
Boosts cellular energy (ATP)
Improves circulation
Reduces inflammation
Accelerates tissue repair
Heals muscles & tendons
Stimulates collagen production
Increases cellular energy (ATP production), improves circulation, causes vasodilation, reduces inflammation, decreases inflammatory mediators, accelerates tissue repair, stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production — supporting the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Class IV laser therapy enhances your body’s natural healing process by energizing cells, reducing inflammation, and promoting faster recovery — without invasive procedures.
Best For
- Acute and chronic pain (neck, back, joints)
- Post-injury or post-surgical recovery
- Muscle spasms and tightness
- Nerve-related pain (radiculopathy, sciatica)
What You'll Feel
A gentle tingling, pulsing, or tapping sensation
Comfortable and adjustable intensity
Typically relaxing, not painful
Session Time
Typical Duration: 8 minutes
Often combined with other treatments (therapy, adjustments, rehab)
Can be used at the beginning (pain control) or end (recovery) of session
Contraindications
Electrical Stimulation should NOT be used in patients with:
Pacemakers or implanted electrical devices
Pregnancy (over abdomen/lumbar region)
Active cancer in treatment area
Open wounds or infected skin (unless specifically indicated)
Severe sensory deficits (impaired ability to feel stimulation)
Over carotid sinus (neck) or heart region
