Many individuals may feel apprehensive about the concept of electrical stimulation, but rest assured, there’s no need for concern. Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation offers a safe and effective treatment method designed to alleviate pain and aid in recovery for various conditions.
Utilizing self-adhesive electrodes strategically placed around the targeted treatment area on the body, a standard Marc Pro device connects these electrodes through wire leads to administer electricity. This interaction with sensory and/or motor nerves facilitates a therapeutic effect.
If you’re grappling with a painful condition and seeking relief, Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation might be the solution. Contact Amplify Physical Therapy And Wellness in Bolingbrook, IL today to explore the possibilities.
How Does Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation Work?
Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation encompasses various modes to stimulate nerves in diverse ways. These modes involve different currents, and the prescribed current depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Modes include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential, pre-modulated, Russian, and symmetrical or asymmetrical bi-phasic.
The benefits include:
- Reduce, eliminate, and/or control pain (both acute and chronic)
- Increase local circulation
- Decrease swelling
- Improve range of motion
- Reduce muscle spasm
- Provide biofeedback (improve body awareness)
- Enhance motor coordination
- Offer neuromuscular re-education
- Prevent or reverse muscle atrophy (especially after prolonged immobilization)
Pain management is a primary reason for prescribing electrical stimulation. This modality triggers a natural analgesic effect by stimulating specific sensory nerve fibers, alleviating pain sensations and releasing neurotransmitters that extend the pain-relieving effects.
Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation is safe for use on every part of the body, including the anterior neck, eyes, or over areas with damaged skin or decreased sensation. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, such as those with deep vein thrombosis, pregnant individuals, those with pacemakers, or those with impaired cognition.
Common Conditions Treated with Marc Pro Electrical Stimulation:
- Acute sports-related or auto accident-related injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Muscle strains
- Ligament sprains
- Neurological conditions, such as a stroke
Is It Painful?
In simple terms, no. The intensity of electrical muscle stimulation or sensory nerve stimulation can be easily adjusted to each patient’s tolerance. Some may feel a slight sensation, described as “tingly,” “prickly,” or “pins and needles.” When used for muscle strengthening, it might be mildly uncomfortable but should never cause pain.
