How is this different from e-stim?Updated 4 months ago

Electrical Stimulation (e-stim) broadly refers to therapies using electrical impulses for medical and therapeutic benefits, including pain relief, muscle stimulation, and tissue healing. It encompasses methods like TENS for pain management and NMES, which specifically targets muscle contractions. 

NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) is a subset of e-stim focused on activating motor neurons to trigger muscle contractions, essential for rehabilitation or strength training. While e-stim includes various applications across different therapeutic goals, NMES specifically aids in muscle recovery and function improvement, particularly useful for individuals unable to contract muscles voluntarily.
