Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim) in Hoover
Safe, Effective Pain Relief & Rehab
Worried about electrical stimulation? E-Stim is a research-backed, non-invasive therapy that uses self-adhesive electrodes and gentle electrical currents to interact with sensory and motor nerves. At Hoover Spine and Joint Center in Hoover , our licensed chiropractors customize your E-Stim sessions to target pain, boost circulation and accelerate recovery—without discomfort.
How E-Stim Works
Depending on your condition, we select from proven modalities such as:
- TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
- IFC (Interferential Current) & Pre-modulated
- Russian Current
- Symmetrical or Asymmetrical Biphasic
These currents stimulate specific nerve fibers, triggering natural pain-blocking mechanisms and endorphin release, while also improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Benefits of E-Stim Therapy
- Pain reduction (acute and chronic)
- Decreased swelling and muscle spasm
- Enhanced range of motion and circulation
- Neuromuscular re-education and motor coordination
- Prevention or reversal of muscle atrophy
What to Expect
Your chiropractor begins with a physical exam and medical-history review. We place electrodes around your treatment area, adjust intensity to your comfort level—most describe a mild tingling or warming sensation—and guide you through each 10-20 minute session.
Conditions We Treat
E-Stim supports recovery from:
- Sports or auto-accident injuries
- Repetitive-stress syndromes (e.g., tendonitis, carpal tunnel)
- Muscle strains, ligament sprains
