Low Volt Electrical Stimulation Is Beneficial- Spine 12

This study indicated that, with low-frequency electrical stimulation, isokinetic strength and endurance may be significantly increased. Electrical stimulation, a passive modality of muscle strengthening, may be better tolerated than exercise for a patient with acute or subacute low back pain. Electrical stimulation also has the advantage of providing an anesthetic effect from the stimulation, which may also decrease pain while treatment is being given. To obtain optimal clinical results, we must recognize that selective training with electrical stimulation and or exercises, or a combination of both, should be used. Then followed up with specific chiropractic care for joint mobility and stabilization. Together these modalities are a valuable treatment combination.
