Have you experienced an accident that left you with persistent or debilitating pain? Electrical stimulation therapy could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

This safe and proven treatment uses gentle electrical currents to activate your nerves and muscles. It may help reduce pain, improve circulation, and speed up recovery. Though the term might sound complex, electrical stimulation is widely used by therapists for its remarkable effectiveness.

During the treatment, self-adhesive electrodes are placed on your skin around the targeted area. These electrodes connect to a device that sends controlled electrical impulses to stimulate your sensory and motor nerves.

If you’re looking for a trusted Electrotherapy Treatment in Kolkata that offers advanced electrotherapy treatments, Alexa Clinic is here for you. Let us help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.

Benefits of using electrical stimulation

At your initial appointment, in addition to discussing your current condition and medical history, you will undergo a thorough physical examination.

If our physical therapist determines that you could benefit from electrical stimulation, they will explain the process in detail and include it as part of your personalized care plan.

You will be asked to sit or lie comfortably during the procedure. The therapist will clean and prepare the target treatment area and guide you through each step.

As part of our Electrotherapy Treatment in Kolkata, we ensure the process is safe, effective, and tailored to your recovery goals.

Does electrical stimulation hurt?

Not at all! It is easy and simple to adjust the strength of electrical muscle stimulation or sensory nerve stimulation to each patient’s tolerance.

Electrical stimulation includes a range of different ways of stimulating the nerves in various ways.

All of these modes consist of distinct currents, and the currency you are prescribed will depend on the type and seriousness of your condition.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential, pre-modulated, Russian, and symmetrical or asymmetrical bi-phasic are among the various types of modes.

Some patients report experiencing a slight discomfort, such as a feeling of “tingly,” “prickly,” or “pins and needles.”

Electrical stimulation can sometimes become a bit uncomfortable when used for muscle reinforcement, but it should never result in pain.

What should I expect during an electrical stimulation treatment session?

Electrical stimulation is often prescribed for pain.

This modality can trigger an innate and completely natural analgesic effect by stimulating specific sensory nerve fibers (including A-beta, A-delta, and C fibers), which both decrease the sensation of pain and release neurotransmitters that prolong the pain-relieving effects.

Electrical stimulation has a variety of other benefits, including:

• Provide biofeedback (aka improve body awareness)
• Improve range of motion
• Increase local circulation
• Decrease swelling
• Provide neuromuscular re-education
• Prevent or reverse muscle atrophy (especially after prolonged immobilization, such as a limb being cast as a fracture heals)
• Improve motor coordination
• Reduce muscle spasm
• Reduce, eliminate, and/or control pain (both acute and chronic)

It is also safe to use electrical stimulation on all parts of the body, including the anterior neck, eyes, or areas with damaged skin or reduced sensation. At Alexa Healthcare, our expert team ensures that each Electrotherapy Treatment in Kolkata is conducted with precision and safety, based on your individual health profile. 

Electrical stimulation is not the best option for everyone, however. Electrical stimulation will likely not be recommended for people with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), those who are pregnant, those with pacemakers, and those with impaired comprehension.

Some of the most common conditions treated with electrical stimulation include:

• Repetitive stress injuries
• Ligament sprains
• Neurological conditions, such as a stroke
• Muscle strains
• Acute sports-related or auto accident-related injuries
