About Electrical Stimulation

Electrical Stimulation, performed by a Neurologist, is a therapeutic procedure that uses controlled electrical currents to stimulate nerves or muscles. It is a non-invasive or minimally invasive technique designed to manage pain, restore muscle function, and treat various neurological conditions. The procedure works by delivering targeted electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin or via implanted devices, which can modulate nerve signals, reduce pain perception, and prevent muscle atrophy. It is commonly used for conditions like chronic pain, muscle weakness, and nerve injuries. This safe and effective treatment is tailored to each patient's specific needs, offering a valuable option for improving quality of life without major surgery.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
