4810017 (CPT)

Electrical stimulation is a treatment where mild electrical currents are applied to your muscles or nerves to help reduce pain, decrease swelling, or improve muscle function. Your doctor might recommend this procedure if you have muscle weakness, pain from an injury, or certain types of nerve problems that aren't responding to other treatments. During the procedure, electrode pads are placed on your skin over the affected area, and a machine sends gentle electrical pulses through the pads while you rest comfortably.
