Treatments that send electrical current or sound waves into the body to relieve pain or stimulate nerves and muscles, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrotherapy, electrical muscle stimulation, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, lateral electrical surface stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound. An entry belongs here when its own source describes such a device. It excludes implanted surgical devices. Each member is a physical rehabilitation entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.

Has Member: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Introduction
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.
Therapeutic ultrasound (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Therapeutic Ultrasound, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Therapeutic Ultrasound, Introduction
Therapeutic ultrasound refers generally to the use of ultrasound for the treatment of a medical condition or for therapeutic benefit.
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation, Introduction
Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), also referred to as posterior tibial nerve stimulation, is the least invasive form of neuromodulation used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) and the associated symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence.

Has Member: Electrical Muscle Stimulation, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Introduction
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electrical impulses.
