Electrotherapy

Utilizing Controlled Electrical Stimulation for Pain Management with Electrotherapy

Using electrical currents may sound terrifying for many, especially if they are in pain.  However, it’s important to know that electrotherapy is a safe and gentle option designed to provide relief, not discomfort. Our licensed therapists at PMP Pain Center are trained to deliver controlled electrical stimulation in a way that is both effective and soothing. Let us be your partner in regaining control of your life and improving your quality of life.

What Is Electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy is a treatment that uses small electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, nerves, or tissues in the body. It helps reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and promote healing in injured areas. Common types include TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). They are often used to ease discomfort and support recovery.

At PMP Pain Center, we use two advanced electrical stimulation devices – the ACCU-O-MATIC Machine and the TENS device – to manage pain and promote healing. The ACCU-O-MATIC works by sending gentle microcurrents that mimic the body’s natural signals to help with conditions like pain, swelling, and arthritis. On the other hand, our TENS device uses electrical pulses to trigger the body’s natural painkillers to block pain signals to the brain. Both of our devices provide safe, non-invasive pain relief and support faster recovery for our patients.

Common Conditions Treated with Electrotherapy

Electrical stimulation has been used in physical therapy and rehabilitation for many years. It has been proven to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions, which makes it an excellent alternative to traditional treatment procedures that require longer downtimes. 

Here are some of the conditions electrotherapy can treat:

  • Arthritis
  • Back and neck pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Neuropathic pain
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Swelling
  • Sports injuries
  • And more!
