Relieve, Restore, Rehabilitate: How E-Stim Therapy Can Improve Your Dog’s Quality of Life

At Dogs In Motion Canine Rehabilitation, we believe in providing comprehensive care options to ensure your beloved pets lead active, pain-free lives. One of our core services, Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim) Therapy, is designed to support dogs struggling with pain, muscle weakness, and recovery from injuries or surgeries.

Whether your pet is healing from an injury, suffering from age-related discomfort, or requires rehabilitation, E-Stim can be a powerful tool to aid in their journey to wellness.

What is E-Stim Therapy?
E-Stim, short for Electrical Stimulation, uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate your dog’s muscles and nerves. These pulses mimic natural muscle movements, helping to improve circulation, reduce pain, and encourage muscle growth and strength. For dogs, it’s a safe, painless, and highly effective therapy often paired with other treatments like hydrotherapy, cold laser therapy, and physiotherapy.

Benefits of E-Stim Therapy for Dogs
Pain Relief: E-Stim works by interrupting pain signals sent to the brain, providing relief from chronic pain or post-surgical discomfort.

Improved Muscle Strength: E-Stim stimulates muscles that may be weakened due to injury or lack of use, helping dogs regain lost strength.

Enhanced Circulation: By promoting blood flow to targeted areas, E-Stim aids in faster healing and reduces inflammation.

Injury Recovery: For dogs recovering from surgeries, ligament injuries, or fractures, E-Stim offers a gentle and non-invasive way to support rehabilitation.

Reduced Muscle Spasms: By relaxing tight muscles and promoting controlled muscle contractions, E-Stim helps alleviate spasms and tension that cause discomfort.

Is E-Stim Right for My Dog?
E-Stim is suitable for a wide range of dogs, from active breeds needing injury recovery to senior pets struggling with arthritis. Each treatment session is personalized to your dog’s condition, comfort level, and rehabilitation goals.

Our certified canine therapists work closely with each dog, adjusting pulse intensity and duration to match their needs. For some, E-Stim is used as a standalone therapy, while for others, it’s incorporated into a broader rehabilitation plan that may include other therapies we offer, such as hydrotherapy or acupuncture.

What to Expect During an E-Stim Session
Each E-Stim session is gentle and designed to be as comfortable as possible for your dog. Our therapists start by placing small electrodes on your dog’s skin/coat, targeting specific muscle groups. The mild pulses begin slowly and are gradually increased to a level that stimulates the muscles without causing discomfort.

Most dogs feel relaxed during E-Stim sessions, and many even enjoy it! The sessions are designed to work within your pet’s tolerance level, ensuring their comfort while maximizing therapeutic benefits.
