Electrical Stimulation Therapies for Pain and Recovery

Chiropractors may use electrical stimulation therapies to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing. These treatments are often part of a personalized care plan and may include Interferential Current Therapy, Russian stimulation, and therapeutic ultrasound.

Interferential Current Therapy, also known as IFC, uses medium frequency electrical currents to reach deeper tissues. It is typically used to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and support the healing of soft tissue injuries. Russian stimulation delivers electrical impulses designed to enhance muscle strength and endurance, often helping patients recover from muscle weakness or after surgery. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to generate deep heat in tissues. This technique may help reduce stiffness, increase blood flow, and assist in healing ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

These non-invasive treatments are safe and comfortable for most patients. They are often used alongside manual therapy and exercise for optimal results. To find out if these therapies may benefit your condition, call us today for a proper evaluation and discussion.
