What Our Patients Are Saying
How E-Stim Therapy Works
If you are suffering from muscle pain from a physical injury or medical condition, you may benefit from Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy to treat your symptoms.
During E-Stim Therapy, electrodes are connected to a device responsible for producing the gentle electric currents you’ll feel throughout the treatment. These electric currents are intended to stimulate the motor nerves within your muscles, stimulating these nerves to cause your muscle to contract. As the muscles contract, your body will release endorphins to reduce pain and increase relaxation. This treatment promotes healing by improving circulation, as electric stimulation enhances blood flow to the affected area. This is beneficial in reversing inflammation or swelling caused by an injury or a medical condition, such as osteoarthritis.

E-Stim Therapy FAQs
E-Stim units deliver controlled electrical impulses that cause muscle contractions, increase local blood flow, and stimulate sensory nerves for pain modulation. This combination can reduce atrophy, improve circulation, and provide temporary pain relief.
Re-education protocols use lower frequencies with specific timing to mimic natural recruitment patterns, while pain settings often use higher frequencies for sensory nerve stimulation. We customize based on primary treatment goals.
Post-surgical recovery, muscle weakness from disuse, certain types of chronic pain, and circulation issues often respond well. E-stim can be particularly helpful when voluntary muscle activation is limited.
Most plans involve 8-15 sessions, though this varies based on condition severity and individual response. We track progress through strength measurements and functional assessments at Kelly Wellness & Chiropractic.
We avoid treatment over certain implant types, during pregnancy, or with certain medical conditions. Proper electrode placement, intensity adjustment, and treatment duration guidelines ensure safe application.
We often use E-Stim before chiropractic adjustments to relax tight muscles or after to support proper muscle firing patterns. The combination addresses both joint and muscular components of musculoskeletal issues.
We avoid treatment over malignant areas, pacemakers, certain implants, or areas with impaired sensation. Pre-treatment evaluation ensures appropriate application based on individual health factors.
Yes, we often recommend specific home units for between-visit maintenance. We provide guidance on proper home therapy protocols based on individual conditions and treatment goals at our Cupertino chiropractic center .
