WHAT DOES ELECTRIC MUSCLE STIMULATION FEEL LIKE?
Patients feel a slight tingling sensation like when your foot falls asleep. It should remain a pleasant micro-massaging feeling and never be sharp, bitty or uncomfortable. You are always in control, just let us know when you have the proper amount of electric juice. Your body may become accustomed to the initial setting so you can ask to kick it up a notch halfway through the treatment.
