Electrical stimulation is the application of electrical impulses to a muscle or muscle group to stimulate contraction. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) can prevent atrophy of muscles while Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is used for pain management.
NMES is most commonly used in orthopaedic and neurological injuries and diseases. This therapy will help your pet maintain their muscle mass, especially after an orthopaedic surgery.
