Stim Therapy in Pleasant Grove & American Fork, UT

Stim therapy uses low-voltage electrical impulses to reduce pain without drugs. It's a simple treatment that many patients in Pleasant Grove and American Fork use alongside their adjustments. It's one of the many services at Gunn Chiropractic, right on North County Blvd in Pleasant Grove.

What is stim therapy?

Stim therapy, also called electrical stimulation, sends tiny electrical impulses through your nervous system. Small adhesive pads go on your skin near the trouble area. A small device sends the impulses at an intensity and frequency that fits you. Those impulses reduce the pain signals your brain receives. That's how stim therapy delivers relief. It's a safe, low-voltage option, and it doesn't involve any drugs.

Who can stim therapy help?

Stim therapy may help with a range of conditions. The team at Gunn Chiropractic uses it for sports injuries, arthritis, joint pain, period pain, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and tendonitis. If you deal with any of those, stim therapy could be worth a conversation. Your first step is an exam so the team can see what's going on and decide if stim is a fit for you. You don't have to figure out your own diagnosis. That's what the exam is for.

How does stim therapy work?

During a session, Dr. Ben Gunn or Dr. Ryan Clark places small pads on your skin. The pads connect to a device that sends gentle electrical impulses. You'll feel a mild tingling, not pain. Your provider sets the intensity and frequency for you. No two patients need the same settings. The point is to find the level that feels right and lets the impulses do their job. The impulses target specific trouble areas. That's what makes stim therapy useful. It gives your body a nudge toward healing while you relax on the table.

What should you expect during a session?

A stim therapy session is short. You stay clothed. The pads go on, the device gets turned on, and you rest while it runs. Many people pair stim with a chiropractic adjustment in the same visit. Afterwards, you can get back to your day. There's no downtime. If you have questions about what a visit looks like, the front desk at (801) 492-8188 can get you scheduled.
