Neuromuscular Stimulation
This section describes how Neuromuscular Stimulations works, how it feels and benefits of
therapy.
How it Works
Neuromuscular Stimulation uses two medium frequency currents which are applied to
the patient simultaneously using two pairs of electrodes. The electrodes are placed on
the patient diagonally around the area to be treated. One pair of electrodes is at a fixed
frequency of 4000Hz. The other pair of electrodes is at a fixed frequency of 4048Hz. At
the point where the two currents cross a beat, or interference frequency, results at 48Hz.
A sweep of amplitude then causes the treated muscle to contract and relax during the
course of treatment.
How it Feels
Most patients find Neuromuscular Stimulation to be extremely beneficial and describe
the treatment as a faint "pins and needles" sensation with the added sensation of
muscle contraction and relaxation.
Benefits
Neuromuscular Stimulation:

Re-educates muscle

Promotes muscle tone (prevents disuse atrophy)

Maintains or increases range of motion

Relaxes muscle spasms

Increases local blood circulation

Provides immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous
thrombosis
