Find Fast Pain Relief With Electrical Stimulation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Did You Know Electrical Stimulation Could Help Relieve Your Pain?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Electrical stimulation may seem daunting, but it is actually a very beneficial way to relieve pain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Electrical stimulation is a safe and effective method of treatment that can provide pain relief and recovery for several conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A standard electrical stimulation device utilizes self-adhesive electrodes placed around the target treatment area on the body. The electrodes are then connected via wire leads to the unit, through which electricity can pass and ultimately interact with sensory and\/or motor nerves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are you suffering from a painful injury or condition? If so, electrical stimulation may be the answer. Request an appointment with MMA & Sports Rehab<\/strong><\/a> in Arlington on Edgewood St<\/a> or Arlington on Walter Reed Dr<\/a> today to learn more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n

This modality can trigger an innate and completely natural analgesic effect by stimulating specific sensory nerve fibers (including A-beta, A-delta, and C fibers), which both decrease the sensation of pain and release neurotransmitters that prolong the pain-relieving effects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Electrical stimulation has a variety of other benefits, including:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
