Patient Education

Simply stated, pain is a “beneficial” adverse, sensory signal transmitted by your body’s nervous system in an attempt to alert your body to an injury or condition. The purpose of the pain stimulus is to prevent further insult to the injured area by causing restriction of motion; inflammation. This pain sensation may be perceived as chronic and debilitating in nature, ultimately, resulting in the inability to perform many of your essential daily activities. (i.e., work, sports/exercise and recreational)

For decades, Electrotherapy has been used by Doctors to help manage pain, increase blood flow, decrease muscle spasms, improve range of motion, increase muscle tone, and reduce inflammation.
