Muscle Stimulation

Muscle Stimulation, commonly known as E-Stim, is a non-invasive therapy that uses gentle electrical currents to trigger controlled muscle contractions. This therapy helps activate weak or injured muscles, reduce pain, and promote faster healing. It’s often recommended as part of a chiropractic care plan to restore proper function and support rehabilitation.

Benefits of Muscle Stimulation

  • Improves blood flow to injured areas

  • Speeds up tissue repair and recovery

  • Strengthens weak or atrophied muscles

  • Reduces muscle spasms and stiffness

  • Helps prevent or slow muscle loss

  • Promotes relaxation and natural endorphin release

Long-Term Impact

When used consistently, E-Stim can rebuild muscle strength, improve coordination, and restore mobility after an injury. It also strengthens the connection between the brain and muscles, making movement easier and more natural over time. For patients with chronic conditions or athletes in recovery, E-Stim can be a valuable tool for maintaining strength and preventing reinjury.

E-Stim is often used to support recovery from:

  • Sports injuries

  • Sprains and strains

  • Chronic muscle tension or spasms

  • Muscle weakness or atrophy

  • Neuromuscular conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

  • Post-surgical recovery

  • Overuse injuries and soreness in athletes

At Elevate Chiropractic, Dr. Brett Wee incorporates muscle stimulation into customized care plans when it can speed recovery and enhance long-term results. Whether you’re healing from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to optimize performance, E-Stim can help restore strength, reduce pain, and keep you moving forward.
