Electrical stimulation
Electrical stimulation a procedure that uses weak electrical impulses to stimulate muscles or nerves. It strengthens muscles, improves blood circulation and reduces pain.
Benefits of electrostimulation:
- Improves muscle strength and tone
- Reduces pain and muscle tension
- Stimulates blood circulation and metabolism
- Accelerates injury and post-operative healing
- Helps restore muscle function after immobilisation
- Used in nerve damage (to stimulate muscle innervation)
- Helps prevent muscle atrophy during prolonged immobility
