Electrical Stimulation in Shreveport and Lafayette, LA
What it is
Electrical Stimulation uses gentle, controlled electrical currents to activate muscles and calm irritated nerves. Small adhesive pads are placed on the skin over the target area. The unit sends safe pulses that help reduce pain, improve muscle recruitment, and support circulation. Your FHPT clinician selects the right mode and intensity for your goal, whether that is pain relief after an injury, better quad activation after a knee surgery, or help relaxing a guarded low back.
Who it helps
Electrical Stimulation can support many cases. It helps people with acute sprains or strains who need pain relief to start moving again. It assists post operative patients who must “wake up” specific muscles so they can begin safe strengthening. It is useful for chronic neck or back tension where nerves stay sensitive and muscles stay tight. Athletes may use it after hard training to manage soreness and speed recovery. It also helps adults who sit long hours and feel stubborn stiffness that makes exercise hard to start.
Why FHPT
Fulco & Hall Performance & Therapy delivers Electrical Stimulation as part of a complete plan, not a stand-alone quick fix. Your therapist screens your history, explains what you should feel, and sets clear goals for each session. We pair stimulation with the right manual therapy and exercise, so the relief turns into real progress. Our team treats everyday patients and competitive athletes, so we understand how to match dosage and timing to the demands of work, school, and sport. Two clinics make it easy to stay consistent, which is where results happen.

Safety and fit
Electrical Stimulation is safe for most people when used correctly. Your therapist will review your health history and screen for contraindications such as pacemakers or certain skin conditions. We teach you how the right level should feel, and we monitor the skin after each session. If stimulation is not appropriate, we choose another evidence-based method to achieve the same goal.
