The Benefits of Electrical Stimulation

Finding pain relief management that works with your life is crucial to your long-term health and wellness. At Starwood Chiropractic, serving Frisco, TX, and the surrounding areas, we offer electrical stimulation as a method of pain relief for those who are dealing with muscle pain.

What Is Electrical Stimulation?

Electrical stimulation is a type of treatment used to reduce muscle pain. When muscles become tight and knotted, it can create a painful situation and reduce your mobility and range of motion. A chiropractor can help by administering electrical stimulation to the affected area.

Electrodes are placed on the affected area, and gentle electrical currents are sent into the muscle. This current will cause the muscles to contract. This contraction will last a few seconds, and then the muscles will relax. This stimulated contraction and the responding relaxation of the muscles is like simulating a deep tissue massage. Using stimulation, though, can be more effective than just using massage. It works very well for people who are dealing with extremely tight muscles.

Is Electrical Stimulation Safe?

Electrical stimulation is completely safe and has been used for years by those who are experiencing muscle pain. Many people find the sessions to be quite pleasant.

Other Treatments

If you are dealing with ongoing muscle pain, we also provide other forms of treatment that could be helpful. Massage therapy is often recommended for those with muscle pain issues. We also offer stretching and strengthening exercises that can help keep your muscles in good shape to cut down on your muscle pain.
