What is Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation is the use of electrical impulses to make the muscles contract or to provide pain relief. Electrodes (usually small pads with a gentle adhesive on one side) are attached to the surface of the skin and connected to a small device that generates impulses. Electrical stimulation might also be referred to as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), electromyostimulation, EMS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), TNS, Interferential current therapy, ICT, or IFC.
