Let E-Stim Therapy Help You Heal Faster
At Denver Sports Rehab, we make sure to have a variety of therapy options available to athletes. That way you can tailor your therapy approach to your preferences and goals. And one of the main therapies we offer is e-stim therapy.
E-stim therapy, also known as electrical muscle stimulation or electrotherapy, is a technique used in physical therapy to promote healing and pain relief. This therapy involves the use of electrical impulses to stimulate muscles and nerves, which can help athletes recover from injuries faster. Here are some ways in which e-stim therapy can help athletes heal faster.
Pain Relief
E-stim therapy can help alleviate pain caused by injuries. The electrical impulses can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body. This can help reduce the need for pain medication and allow athletes to recover more quickly.
Improved Circulation
E-stim therapy can also improve blood flow to injured areas, which can help promote healing. Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tissues, allowing them to repair and regenerate more quickly.
Muscle Strengthening
Another benefit to e-stim therapy is that it can help strengthen muscles that have been weakened by injury. The electrical impulses can cause muscle contractions, which can help prevent muscle atrophy and promote muscle growth.
Reduced Inflammation
Additionally, e-stim therapy can help reduce inflammation in injured areas. This can help decrease swelling and pain, and facilitate the healing process.
Increased Range of Motion
And lastly, e-stim therapy can help improve range of motion in injured joints. The electrical impulses can help relax muscles and promote flexibility, allowing athletes to regain mobility more quickly.
Overall, e-stim therapy can be a valuable tool for athletes who are recovering from injuries or athletes who are just looking to get over training related muscle soreness faster. If you are interested in incorporating this therapy into your training regimen, please stop by Denver Sports Rehab today! We would love to answer any lingering questions you may have regarding this type of therapy and get you started on a program that will help you perform at your peak.
