Electrical Stimulation Therapy Services in Heartland – Mississauga
Electrical Stimulation Therapy (E-Stim) is a physiotherapy treatment that uses controlled electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and muscles. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve blood circulation, enhance muscle strength, and accelerate tissue healing. It is commonly used in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, post-operative recovery, and for managing chronic pain conditions.
At Curezone Physiotherapy, our licensed therapists apply medical-grade electrical stimulation devices in a controlled, safe environment. The therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and suitable for patients of all ages, including those recovering from injury or surgery.
Benefits of Electrical Stimulation Therapy
Pain Reduction
Electrical stimulation helps block pain signals to the brain and encourages the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body, making it effective for both acute and chronic pain.
Improved Muscle Activation
By stimulating muscle fibers, E-Stim helps strengthen weak muscles, prevent atrophy, and restore function after injury or immobilization.
Enhanced Blood Flow and Healing
Electrical stimulation increases circulation to the affected area, promoting faster tissue repair and recovery from inflammation or soft tissue injuries.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
E-Stim supports recovery after orthopedic surgery by improving muscle control, reducing swelling, and enhancing mobility in the treated region.
Common Conditions Treated with Electrical Stimulation
At our Heartland – Mississauga clinic, E-Stim is used to treat:
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (knee, shoulder, hip, etc.)
- Muscle weakness or atrophy
- Chronic pain conditions (low back pain, neck pain, joint pain)
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Ligament and muscle injuries
- Sciatica and nerve-related pain
- Sports injuries
- Joint inflammation

Electrical stimulation uses controlled electrical currents applied via surface electrodes to:
