Alleviate Muscle Pain With Electric Shock Therapy Not Drugs

Are you living with muscle pain? Does it feel like you have tried everything to get some relief? Electric shock therapy might be what you need to live pain free. You probably think this is a shocking suggestion. Not to worry, this is not the shock therapy from the 1950′s. Allow me to explain.

E-Stim or Electrical Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation or TENS Units are shockingly effective for managing pain. E-stim is used with other therapies to alleviate muscle pain in my patients. Electrical stimulation blocks pain and also increases metabolism. During e-stim treatment, four electrodes are stuck to the skin over the sore muscle. Mild electric current is set to the patient’s tolerance. Most commonly I use pre-modulated current, but will use other choices of current, according to the best effect and purpose of my patients. This pain relief treatment has virtually no side effects and requires no medication, no needles, and there is no risk of addiction or damage to internal organs. E-stim prevents pain messages from being transmitted to the brain and may also raise levels of naturally produced pain killer endorphins. This treatment is combined with moist heat or ice, and is often utilized with muscle stripping, ultrasound, chiropractic adjustments or IDD Therapy®.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation or TENS units work like E-Stim and are safe to use for at home treatments. TENS units are small, portable and battery operated. Only get your TENS unit from your medical professional or chiropractor, as there are specific usage instructions to follow.
