Electrical stimulation, also known as electrical muscle stimulation, is treatment used by chiropractors and other manual therapists to strengthen muscles and promote healing. During a session of electrical stimulation therapy, electric impulses are sent to the muscles through tiny electrodes placed directly on the skin. These impulses elicit muscle contraction. Electrical stimulation is increasingly gaining attention not just for reducing musculoskeletal pain, but for preventing injuries and improving strength in athletes.
