A member asked:
Is electro stimulation therapy appropriate for bicep tendonitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Electric stimulation has been used for over 100 years. These days you have units that use either milliamps or microamps. There are now very sophisticated microcurrent machines in use by physicians, chiropractors, pts and athletic trainers. I think they are the most effective. Find a frequency specific microcurrent provider who has a machine w/ many settings including ones just for tendons.

Not really: May be used to affect muscles and soft tissues in general it is ude by a therapist and not as a primary treatment.
