Activate Your Recovery with Safe, Targeted Pain Relief
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, we use electric stimulation therapy—commonly known as e-stim—to help our patients relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, and accelerate the healing process. This safe, drug-free therapy is a powerful tool that complements chiropractic care and other hands-on treatments.
What Is E-Stim Therapy?
Electric stimulation therapy uses gentle electrical currents delivered through small electrode pads placed on the skin. These currents stimulate nerves and muscles in the treatment area to encourage circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve muscle function.
Depending on the settings and goals of your care, e-stim may be used to:
-
Relax tight or spasming muscles
-
Improve blood flow to injured tissues
-
Reduce pain by blocking pain signals
-
Strengthen weak muscles during rehab
At Phoenixville Chiropractic, Dr. Andrew Timar incorporates e-stim into personalized treatment plans based on your specific needs and condition.
Conditions Treated with E-Stim
E-stim is a versatile therapy that’s helpful for a wide range of issues, including:
-
Muscle strains and spasms
-
Chronic back and neck pain
-
Joint inflammation
-
Post-injury muscle weakness
-
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
-
Recovery from surgery or immobilization
-
Fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions
Whether you're dealing with an acute injury or long-term discomfort, e-stim can be a valuable part of your healing process.
What to Expect During Your Session
E-stim therapy is simple, painless, and comfortable. After identifying the best area to treat, Dr. Timar or a staff member will place small adhesive pads (electrodes) on your skin. You’ll feel a light tingling or pulsing sensation as the machine gently stimulates your muscles and nerves.
Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes and are often combined with other chiropractic treatments like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or therapeutic exercise.
Why We Use E-Stim at Phoenixville Chiropractic
Pain can be exhausting—and often stands in the way of healing. E-stim helps interrupt that pain cycle, giving your body the support it needs to recover naturally. By stimulating circulation and muscle activity, we can help you regain function, reduce reliance on medications, and get back to doing what you love.
Dr. Timar takes a full-body, individualized approach to care. That means e-stim is never used as a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s always tailored to your condition, goals, and comfort level.
