What is Electrostimulation Used For?

Electrostimulation is often applied in physiotherapy. Physical therapy is a rehabilitation process that involves movement, exercise, and tools. This form of therapy has been used to treat many medical conditions, including arthritis, neuritis, TMJ, tendonitis, muscle sprains, and spinal cord injuries. Electrostimulation is often applied to revitalize damaged bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. It can help heal wounds, improve blood circulation, and bring relief to various ailments. EMS has also been used to prevent muscle atrophy.

There are also unsubstantiated claims that electrostimulation can help in weight loss regimes. Some believe that an EMS device can cause calorie burning that you similarly see during a workout routine.

Is Electric Muscle Stimulation Safe?

Electric stimulation therapy is relatively safe, especially under the guidance of a chiropractor, physicians, or trained professional. While this form of therapy is safe for most individuals, there are certain risks that come with EMS. Some cases have reported skin irritation from the adhesive pads and minor pain from the electric charge. EMS is not recommended for pregnant women or patients with certain cardiac problems.
