How can e-stim help my hip or knee pain?

“Motion is Lotion” a physical therapy professor of mine once said as I sat in class madly taking notes. It didn’t register to me at the time that this would become my life’s calling. You see, we are made to move. I believe it with all of my being. Pain robs us of mobility all too often. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, avid golfer, or grandparent trying to keep up with your little ones, more and more people with osteoarthritis will explore the possibility of joint replacement to remain active members of their communities and maintain a high quality of life.

Osteoarthritis of the hip and knee is a major cause of disability, affecting 1/3 of adults over the age of 65. The use of electrical stimulation for muscle strengthening, decreasing pain and inflammation, and improving circulation is key following an injury or joint replacement.

Electric Muscle Stim creates feel good muscle contractions at a preprogrammed setting that is so easy to find pain relief. It is more than just TENS for blocking the pain signal. It actually fires muscles to re-teach them their often forgotten and stabilization job. With this movement comes increased blood flow, healing, and release of feel good endorphins to relieve pain.

Many people avoid or prolong the need for surgery with electrical stimulation as part of their rehabilitation.
