Electrical Stimulation (ESTIM)/
Interferential/ TENS

ESTIM is a treatment modality we may use to help with your recovery during the rehabilitation process.  ESTIM utilizes an electrical current introduced to you via electrodes that stick to your skin.  It is painless and most people describe it as very comfortable.  We apply the self adhesive electrodes to your skin and hook up the ESTIM machine.  There are two currents that we typically use; Interferential and Pre-modulation.  Interferential is used primarily to help reduce pain and swelling.  Pre-modulation is a stronger current that is more useful to help with regaining strength.
