How Can Electric Stimulation in Omaha NE Help You?

Electric stimulation, or e-stim for short, has a number of benefits to offer you. It promotes blood flow to an injured area, which can speed up the recovery process. If you have an injury that prevents you from moving a part of your body, e-stim can contract the muscle to help recovery. It can also help weakened muscles build up basic strength so you can begin physical therapy.

Some diseases or conditions cause muscles to atrophy. E-stim can slow down the speed that your muscles atrophy by stimulating weak muscles via electric currents which activate your muscles. This allows the muscles to maintain some use even when you are no longer able to do it on your own.

E-stim is also used in combination with, or used similarly to, massage. It can help release tension in your muscles and produce endorphins to improve your mood. The additional blood flow e-stim encourages caused by your contracting muscles helps bring relief to sore muscles as well. Athletes use e-stim after workouts to help reduce swelling. It can also help muscles feel less fatigued. As a result, it can also help prevent injury to the muscles by keeping them warm while they are not in use.
