Electrical Stimulation Therapy in Tucson
Speed Up Healing & Relieve Pain Naturally with E-Stim
At Ornelas Chiropractic, we use electrical muscle stimulation (E-stim) as part of our comprehensive physical medicine services. This non-invasive therapy uses gentle electrical pulses to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote faster healing, especially after accidents or soft tissue injuries.
E-stim therapy is a safe, proven method to support your body’s natural recovery process and is available at both of our Tucson locations.
What Is Electrical Stimulation Therapy?
Electrical stimulation therapy uses a low-level electrical current applied through small adhesive pads on the skin. These pulses stimulate your muscles and nerves, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and blocking pain signals.
It’s commonly used alongside chiropractic adjustments to improve outcomes and provide targeted relief in a comfortable, non-invasive way.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your chiropractor will place small electrodes on the area needing care. You’ll feel a mild tingling or pulsing sensation, which many patients find relaxing. Each session typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes and is often performed before or after your adjustment.
E-stim is painless, safe, and can be customized to your comfort level and treatment goals.
