Electrical Stimulation (e-stim) and Iontophoresis use mild electrical currents to relieve pain, re-educate weak muscles, and deliver localized medication through the skin without injections. By targeting specific nerve pathways, e-stim disrupts pain signals sent to the brain while encouraging weak or inactive muscles to contract properly. Iontophoresis pairs this technology with anti-inflammatory medication to calm deep, localized tissue swelling.
This dual approach is ideal for managing nerve irritation, acute swelling, and severe muscle weakness. We use it to calm radiating nerve pain caused by sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and ulnar nerve irritation. It is also effective for managing sharp, localized pain from severe tendonitis or bursitis, as well as re-awakening muscles affected by general deconditioning, low muscle tone, or post-surgical weakness.
