Electronic Modalities
Your physician has scheduled you for surgery and one if the items you
will be receiving in post-operative recovery for your home use is an electrical
Neuromuscular Stimulator/TENS/E-Stim unit. This unit sends electrical
impulses through the skin to the nerves and muscles to create an involuntary
muscle contraction or it can produce pain relief if it is prescribed on
a different setting. This unit allows the patient to receive therapeutic
treatment without actual physical activity.
Your physician or
health care provider will instruct you on how to use the unit effectively.
If you have any problems or concerns, you should speak with your physician.
The unit is a small portable system that can be effective in helping you
through your rehabilitation.
