Electrical Stimulation

Electrical Stimulation is a treatment used to ease pain and support muscle recovery by delivering gentle electrical current through the skin. At Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, it is offered as part of a broader physical therapy plan for patients dealing with pain, weakness, or muscle recovery after injury or surgery.

How It Helps

Pain Relief — Current can interrupt pain signals, making movement and daily activity more comfortable.
Muscle Activation — Stimulation can help re-activate weak or inhibited muscles, particularly after surgery or nerve-related injury.
Circulation Support — Increased local blood flow can support the body's healing process in the treated area.

What to Expect

Equipment — Our Electrical Stimulation Units deliver a gentle, adjustable current through electrode pads placed on the skin.
Setting — Treatment is typically done on one of our adjustable treatment tables, so you can stay positioned comfortably throughout the session.
Pairing — Electrical Stimulation is often combined with other approaches, such as Ultrasound Therapy, Manual Therapy, or Exercise Therapy, depending on your plan of care.

Who It's For

This service is commonly considered for patients working through Back Pain Treatment, Sports Injury Rehabilitation, Post-Surgical Rehabilitation, or general Pain Management. Your therapist will determine whether Electrical Stimulation fits your specific condition and recovery goals.
