Neuromuscular stimulation is a treatment that send electrical pulses to the nerves which then creates a muscualar contraction. It is commonly used in animal patients that are paraplegic to assist in the role the nervous would have normally played. It may be used to help develop or maintain muscle stregth, encourage mobilisation within the tissues or help to trigger a response from the neurological system.
Owners are taught how to apply this treatment at home, so that it can be applied inbetween treatment sessions.
