TENs Treatment Springfield Benefits

February 4, 2019 By Dr David Perna DC

At Back and Body here in Springfield, TENs treatment is another therapy type that we can offer. Also known as slectrical stimulation, it’s a type of physical therapy that might be applied if you have one or more of the following conditions: low back pain, post-surgical pain, muscle weakness/ poor motor control, tendonitis, or bursitis.

E-stim and TENs treatment is used for a variety of reasons in physical therapy. They are as follows: administering medication for inflammation, contracting muscles that are not strong or not functioning great, and decreasing pain or spasm. There is also some evidence where TENs and e-stim has helped in treating stubborn wounds.

Many people want to know if TENs and e-stim should be used? During e- stim, the patient does not do much while it is being applied. It is key for the patient to learn the correct movements and exercises for the specific condition that it will be treating you for. This is one of the reasons why a few professionals debate if  using TENs is something of help in physical therapy and chiropractic care. Other studies do show the many successes that come with it.

An application of e- stim could look something like this: The area of the body being treated will be exposed, electrodes will be applied to the skin through a wire to the e-stim machine, you will feel a slight tingling sensation, and then you let it work for about 10-15 minutes, give or take. The application of electrical impulses may feel a bit uncomfortable and may take a bit of getting used to, but they should never be painful. If anything begins to hurt or feel painful to you during electrical stimulation, be sure to tell your PT or DC because the level may be too high for you to handle. They will be sure to adjust the treatment or stop using it all together if the pain continues. TENS, Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), Russian stimulation, Interferential current, and high voltage galvanic current are the different kinds of e-stim treatments your doctor or PT may use to treat your pain.

If we consider TENs treatment Springfield is right for you, we will explain all the different benefits and risks that come with the treatment. Some potential risks could include muscle tearing, tissue burn, or skin irritation, but are quite unlikely to occur. 

If you don’t like the sound of e- stim or have any worries about the procedure, there are some alternatives that could be done. While Tens treatment Springfield is a good option, we will be more than happy to review these with you to determine what is the best treatment for your condition.
