Electrical Stimulation Therapy in Pleasanton, CA

At Foundations Chiropractic & Wellness, we use electrical stimulation therapy (E-Stim) to support muscle recovery, pain reduction, and neuromuscular re-education. This non-invasive therapy uses safe, controlled electrical currents to stimulate targeted muscles and nerves—helping reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and improve muscle function.

E-Stim is especially effective for conditions like sciatica, muscle spasms, acute injury recovery, and chronic pain. Whether paired with chiropractic adjustments or used as a standalone therapy, it’s a proven tool to help you recover faster and move better.

What The Researchers Say

A 2015 meta-analysis published in Pain Physician found that electrical stimulation is effective in reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain, especially when combined with manual therapy or rehab:

Ahmed S, et al. Electrical stimulation for chronic musculoskeletal pain: systematic review and meta-analysis. Pain Physician. 2015;18(5):E601-E614.

A study in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation (2020) concluded that neuromuscular electrical stimulation improves strength and function in patients recovering from orthopedic injuries and chronic low back pain.

López-de-Celis C, et al. Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on strength and balance. J Back Musculoskelet Rehabil. 2020;33(1):143–150.

Research also shows that electrical stimulation helps re-educate muscles post-injury or surgery, helping restore proper movement patterns and prevent atrophy.
