    using electrical impulses to stimulate muscles or nerves

    Electrical Stimulation, often abbreviated as e-stim or EMS, involves using electrical impulses to elicit muscle contractions or stimulate nerves. This technique is commonly used in physical therapy to enhance muscle strength, improve blood circulation, and aid in pain management. It can also be applied in medical research and treatments for conditions like alopecia, where it may help stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
