Reduce Pain. Accelerate Healing. Reignite Muscle Function.
At Park Hill Chiropractic in Fort Worth, Dr. Seth Elliot offers Electrical Stimulation Therapy—commonly known as E-Stim—as a powerful, drug-free method to reduce pain, relax tight muscles, and promote natural healing at the cellular level. This safe and effective therapy is often used alongside chiropractic care to speed recovery and enhance overall outcomes.
What Is Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim) Therapy?
Electrical stimulation therapy uses controlled electrical pulses delivered through pads placed on the skin to activate nerves and muscles. These pulses mimic the body's natural nerve signals, helping to:
-
Block pain signals from reaching the brain
-
Stimulate muscle contractions to prevent atrophy
-
Improve blood flow to injured tissues
-
Promote endorphin release for natural pain relief
-
Reduce swelling and inflammation
E-Stim is non-invasive, completely safe, and adjustable based on your comfort level and treatment goals.
Types of E-Stim Used at Park Hill Chiropractic
Dr. Elliot customizes the type of electrical stimulation used depending on your needs:
-
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Targets nerves to reduce pain
-
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Triggers muscle contractions to re-educate or strengthen muscles
-
Interferential Current (IFC): Penetrates deeper tissue for more intense therapeutic effects
Each type has its own specific applications, and Dr. Elliot will determine which method is best for your condition and recovery plan.
Conditions Treated with E-Stim Therapy
Electrical Stimulation Therapy is often used to support healing and relieve discomfort from:
-
Back and neck pain
-
Muscle strains and spasms
-
Joint inflammation
-
Tendonitis or bursitis
-
Post-surgical rehab
-
Sciatica and nerve pain
-
Acute sports injuries
-
Poor circulation or swelling
E-Stim is also useful for improving muscle activation in patients with neuromuscular imbalances or prolonged immobility.
What to Expect During E-Stim Therapy
During treatment, small electrodes are applied to the skin over the affected area. You’ll feel a mild tingling or pulsing sensation—many patients find it relaxing and pain-relieving. Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes, and the intensity is always adjusted to your comfort.
E-Stim is frequently combined with other treatments like chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, or rehab exercises for a more comprehensive recovery approach.
