Those who suffer from poor leg circulation can finally be relieved as Neuromuscular electrical stimulation – or NMES – systems can produce pulses of electricity that trigger the contraction of muscles.
A slight tickling sensation is felt on the skin, along with rapid twitching of the targeted muscles. Devices that promise to help tone the stomach and other body areas – such as the Slendertone range – use the same principle.
Now new research has shown that electrical stimulation may also be more effective than compression stockings and other methods aimed at boosting blood circulation in the legs.
Trials on patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) resulted in a reduction in swelling and pain symptoms.
