At Montgomery Family Chiropractic in Germantown, MD, we are committed to using advanced therapies to enhance patient outcomes. One of the effective techniques we use is Electrical Stimulation Therapy (e-stim), a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain, improve recovery, and support overall well-being.
What Is Electrical Stimulation Therapy?
Electrical Stimulation Therapy involves applying small electrical currents to targeted muscle groups or nerve pathways using adhesive electrodes placed on the skin. These gentle impulses mimic the body’s natural nerve signals, stimulating muscles and tissues to promote healing, reduce discomfort, and improve function.
How Does E-Stim Work?
E-stim works by:
​
-
Stimulating muscle contractions to improve strength and circulation.
-
Blocking pain signals from reaching the brain through nerve stimulation.
-
Releasing endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.
-
Reducing inflammation by enhancing blood flow to injured areas.

E-stim offers a wide range of benefits for patients dealing with various conditions.
