Electrotherapy, also known as e-stim therapy, is a type of physical therapy that uses electrical stimulation to relieve pain and promote healing. The technique has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle spasms, chronic pain, and injuries. More recently, electrotherapy has also been shown to be effective in treating conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. The electrical impulses generated by e-stim therapy help to reduce inflammation and promote the repair of damaged tissue. In addition, electrotherapy can also help to reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation. As a result, e-stim therapy can provide relief from a wide range of conditions.
E-Stim treatments help to reduce pain from a number of different conditions in a natural way.

Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy to stimulate the body for therapeutic purposes. These electrical pulses can help relieve pain, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation. This has numerous benefits when trying to treat many different conditions. Electrotherapy is often used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, and muscle pain.
Electrotherapy works by sending electrical impulses to the target area by using small electrodes that are placed on the surface of the skin. These little pads simply stick to your skin to deliver small electrical pulses to your tissue. These electrical impulses help to stimulate the muscles and nerves in the area, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation. Some treatments use a constant current, while others use a pulsed current. The current travels through the skin to the target area, where it stimulates the nerves and muscles. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation and improve circulation.
Electrotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option for many conditions. It can be used alone or in combination with other therapies. Treatments are typically short, lasting between 10 and 30 minutes. The number of treatments required depends on the condition being treated, but most people experience significant improvement after just a few sessions.
When you arrive for your electrotherapy treatment, our Chiropractor in Valley will ask about your medical history and the condition you are being treated for. Dr. Chris Padgett will also assess your skin to make sure that it is intact and free from open wounds. Once they have determined that electrotherapy is right for you, they will apply the electrodes to your skin. These electrodes are usually made of gel or adhesive pads. The number of electrodes used will depend on the size of the area being treated.
You may feel a tingling sensation as the electrical impulses are delivered to your skin. This is normal and should not be painful. If you do experience any discomfort, we can adjust the intensity of the electrical current. During your treatment, you will be able to relax in our comfortable treatment room. Most people find e-stim therapy to be very relaxing.

I went to Dr. Padgett for relief and he helped me understand what was going on. He takes Xrays on your first visit and then he reviews them and explains them your next visit. Shannon and Lexi were the sweetest with me and my daughter. They answered every question and explained everything that was going on. Letting me know how things work and what to expect. I truly recommend this office.
I have been going to Valley Chiropractic and Dr. Padgett for about 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the results so far. The staff is super friendly and nice. They make you feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend Valley Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. 10 out of 5 Stars!!!!
Most friendly people so willing to help people in need. Very gentle and caring, would highly recommend to anyone needing chiropractic care.
The first visit was awesome. The environment was warm, professional, and respectful.
Dr Padgett and his staff are awesome. They really listened to my problem and treated me accordingly. No cookie cutter treatment here. Every one is treated special.<br>Thank you all.
This was my first visit, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The office gives luxury vibes, yet still feels warm and welcoming—one of those places that makes you forget you’re in a small town the moment you walk in. The staff isn’t just professional; they’re genuinely friendly and personable, and they truly live out their motto through their interactions. I’ve never received local care that followed up after a visit just to check on me, and that alone meant a lot. The technology is impressive, the service is welcoming, and the care is truly top tier.<br><br>But of course, this is a chiropractic office—so let’s talk results. I was in an accident ten years ago and, due to pregnancy at the time, I wasn’t able to receive much treatment because of potential risks to my baby (who is healthy and unharmed 🙏🏾). The front and rear impacts shifted my pelvis, leaving one hip higher than the other. Walking or standing for long periods has been painful, and I’ve also dealt with ongoing neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and insomnia as a result.<br><br>After just one visit, I feel a noticeable difference in all my problem areas. Even more surprising, I feel deeply relaxed—and for the first time in months, I’m actually heading to bed at 8 p.m. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to fall asleep before 1 a.m., so this is huge for me.<br><br>Thank you so much to Dr. Padgett and the entire staff. I truly appreciate the care and attention you provide.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-notch chiropractic care close to home, this place is a gem. I even recorded a video but didn’t see an option to upload it here.<br><br>This place is EVERYTHING.
My first time visiting. Dr. Padgett was caring, thorough, and patient. I feel confident, that with the treatment options in office, will be a great addition to my chiropractic care. I truly felt seen and cared for, instead of a time slot. I look forward to returning for my personailized treatment plan.

His whole team that was there today was just so nice.
