Electrotherapy is a trusted and effective treatment option that uses electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves, reduce pain, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

At Finch Midland Chiropractic, we use a variety of electrotherapy techniques as part of our personalized treatment plans to help patients recover faster, restore function, and feel better.

What Is Electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy involves the application of small electrical impulses to affected areas of the body through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses mimic the body’s natural nerve signals and are used to:

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Stimulate circulation

  • Relax tight muscles

  • Interrupt pain signals to the brain

  • Improve tissue healing

It is a completely non-invasive, drug-free treatment that can be combined with chiropractic care and physical therapy for optimal results.

Conditions Treated with Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is used to manage a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Chronic pain (e.g., low back pain, neck pain)

  • Muscle spasms

  • Sciatica

  • Post-surgical recovery

  • Tendonitis

  • Sports injuries

  • Repetitive strain injuries

Our team will evaluate your condition and determine if electrotherapy is a beneficial part of your recovery plan.

Types of Electrotherapy We Use

At Finch Midland Chiropractic, we use a variety of electrotherapy methods based on your unique needs:

  • TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Often used for pain relief by blocking pain signals to the brain.

  • IFC (Interferential Current Therapy): Targets deeper tissues for more effective relief from inflammation and swelling.

  • EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Helps strengthen muscles, especially during rehabilitation from injury.

  • Ultrasound Therapy: Uses sound waves to generate deep heat in tissues, improving blood flow and speeding up recovery.

  • Laser Therapy: Delivers focused light energy to promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Electrotherapy treatments are painless and typically last between 10–20 minutes. You may feel a gentle tingling or pulsing sensation during the session, and many patients report immediate relief. Sessions are scheduled as part of a larger care plan tailored to your goals.
