E-Stim Therapy in Mississauga
At Universal Chiropractic, we aim to offer you exceptional, patient-centred chiropractic care designed to meet your unique health needs. An important aspect of our care is relieving pain and discomfort, especially when it’s extremely acute. Incorporating E-Stim therapy into your care plans may prove beneficial.
For those struggling with tight muscles, chronic pain, muscle spasms, or feeling unusually intense discomfort, E-stim therapy at Universal Chiropractic could provide the relief you’ve been seeking. This method of care is often used to help relieve pain and relax muscles before receiving other care, like an adjustment.
What Exactly is E-Stim and How Does It Work?
E-Stim, or Interferential Current (IFC), is a non-invasive therapy used to aid in pain relief. By sending small electrical impulses through your body, E-Stim blocks your nervous system from communicating pain signals. This gate control theory of pain suggests this modality may effectively “close the gates” on pain messages trying to reach your brain.
Benefit From Temporary Relief With E-Stim Therapy
E-Stim is not a primary treatment; it’s an effective interim solution that provides temporary relief but doesn’t facilitate healing. While it’s not our default treatment, we recommend it for patients needing additional pain management tools.
However, we want to empower you, not make you reliant on a singular treatment method. We focus on proactive, preventive methods that treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
