Sports Injury Rehab: Benefits of Electrical Stimulation Therapy

Benefits of Electrical Stimulation Therapy

If you have a sports injury, you may be considering physical therapy for treatment. Physical therapy is a great way to help your muscles, ligaments and bones heal from a sports-related injury. 

At Border Physical Therapy, we offer physical therapy and sports therapy services to help you get back to the game faster. Our therapists are certified in sports therapy and rehabilitation, and we will work with you to help you get back on your feet. Conveniently located in the El Paso and Horizon City, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico areas, our team of physical therapists is here to help. 

Physical therapy options to treat a sports injury

One of the common types of physical therapy used to treat a sports injury is electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation therapy uses a machine that transmits low pulses to reach the damaged deep tissue in your body.

This may sound odd if you’ve never experienced it. Trust us; there is no pain involved in this sports therapy process. In fact, many people only feel a slight tingling in the muscles during electrical stimulation therapy.

Benefits of electrical stimulation therapy for sports rehabilitation

Electrical stimulation therapy offers many benefits to patients who have been injured while playing sports. These benefits include:

  • Reduced levels of pain
  • Increased speed of recovery
  • Improved muscle strength during therapy

Electrical stimulation therapy is not the only type of treatment available in our sports rehabilitation program. We also offer manual therapy, which allows a physical therapist to improve alignment and mobility based on manual adjustments to the body.
