Electrical stimulation uses a mild electrical current to cause a targeted muscle or muscle group to contract. By placing electrodes on the skin at specific locations, the doctor can recruit the exact muscle fibers that need to be addressed.

These contractions help strengthen the affected muscle over time, and the doctor can adjust the current's intensity for a more forceful or more gentle contraction, depending on your needs. Along with building strength, muscle contraction also increases blood flow to the area, supporting the body's natural healing process.
