Learn how to use "Electrical Stimulation for Pain Management and Hypersensitivity" at Jan. 23 virtual class

Over 60% of those with a spinal cord injury experience chronic pain, most resorting to medications in order to seek some relief with hit and miss results. On Sat., Jan. 23rd at 11 a.m. PST, we are thrilled to once again host Physical Therapist and truly an expert in the use of Electrical Stimulation, Jennifer Kapetanic, as part of our “NorCal SCI Presents: Virtual is the New Reality Series”. She will share her knowledge and experience on how the use of electrical stimulation can help with pain management using a TENS device that she considers as the best option. Register to attend this class HERE.

During this class, Jennifer will cover different types of pain experiences — Neuropathic and Musculoskeletal — and how to use electrical stimulation to treat these different types of pain. She will also review what to look for when buying a TENS unit.
