Electrical stimulation is a safe and effective method of treatment that can provide pain relief and recovery for several conditions. A standard electrical stimulation device utilizes self-adhesive electrodes placed around the target treatment area on the body. The electrodes are then connected viawire leads to the unit, throughwhich electricity can pass and ultimately interact with sensory and/or motor nerves. One of thebiggest reasons electrical stimulation is prescribed is for pain management. Thismodality can trigger an innateandcompletely natural analgesic effect by stimulating specific sensory nerve fibers (including A-beta, A-delta, andC fibers), whichbothdecrease the sensationof pain and release neurotransmitters that prolong the pain-relieving effects.
