We finished talking about the different types of Top Sugar Land Chiropractors electrical stimulations and how different they are and how they work. So, we are going to finish off that I forgot to mention in the last blog and then get into the risk. Usually, the forms of electrical stimulation are a passive treatment and require you to do nothing when receiving the stimulation. For example, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and Russian stimulation actually do require you to be active while is it in use. Also, remember that any type of electrical stimulation should not be the only treatment you receive when receiving physical therapy. If you are doing your research before your appointment, then this will be new to you but every Top Sugar Land Chiropractors chiropractor or any doctor should inform you the benefits and risks that come with the treatment they want you to receive. If they do not, then ask or go with someone else. But now we will get into the risks because I know a lot of people go through the internet to find an answer. Although you should not always trust the internet because there is some false information on it. The best resource is asking an expert on whatever category your question fits in, so for this specific situation it would be to ask a chiropractor. Now one of the risks of electrical stimulation is muscle tearing. This can be due to the electrical impulse being too strong which then will cause you to feel intense muscle pain. If tearing of your muscle tissue occurs, then the electrical stimulation should stop immediately. Then the doctor should start with treatment for an acute muscle injury. Which may include something we all know as R.I.C.E. A second risk will be skin irritation. This usually does not happen, but skin irritation is a possibility when receiving Top Sugar Land Chiropractors electrical stimulation. This risk is known more with iontophoresis stimulation because it uses a direct current during the application. This is known to irritate the skin. Last risk we will talk about is tissue burn. Ouch sounds painful does it not. When electrical stimulation is being applied with an intensity that is too great then tissue burns may occur. Tissue burn is one of the most rare risks that actually happen. When you get a tissue burn just like muscle tear the treatment should be stopped immediately. The chiropractor or doctor should proceed with the appropriate care which here would be to treat the burn. Wrapping it after to make sure it does not get infected. Electrical stimulation is a form of physical therapy that is commonly used to help people with their injuries and pain. But remember if this is something that does not interest you or you simply do not want to do it for whatever reason then you have every right to say no. Some doctors will keep telling you about it but our doctor here at Top Sugar Land Chiropractors Restoration Health understands no means no so give us a call to set your appointment up to 281 344 2034.
