About stimwell

Stimwell Therapy Services at Nano Hospitals provide advanced electrotherapy-based rehabilitation to relieve pain, improve muscle strength, and accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Using a multi-modality physiotherapy device, Stimwell therapy combines electrical stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound to promote healing and restore function.

Overview

Stimwell Therapy is an advanced physiotherapy treatment system that delivers controlled electrical impulses and ultrasound waves to affected muscles, nerves, and joints. It is commonly used to manage pain, reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and stimulate weakened muscles.

At Nano Hospitals, Stimwell therapy is administered by trained physiotherapists as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s condition.

Workflow

Step 1: Clinical Assessment
A physiotherapist evaluates the patient’s pain, mobility, muscle strength, and medical history to determine the appropriate therapy settings.

Step 2: Electrode or Applicator Placement
Pads or ultrasound applicators are placed over the affected area to deliver targeted therapy.

Step 3: Electrical Stimulation / Ultrasound Delivery
The device sends gentle electrical impulses or sound waves to stimulate nerves, relax muscles, reduce pain signals, and improve tissue healing.

Step 4: Monitored Treatment Session
Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes, during which the therapist adjusts intensity for comfort and effectiveness.

Step 5: Rehabilitation Integration
Therapy is often combined with exercises, stretching, and manual therapy for optimal recovery.
