🔌💪 E-STIM: A Game-Changer After ACL Surgery

Check out this video of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in action — look at that quad contraction! 👀⬇️

After ACL reconstruction, one of the biggest challenges is getting the quadriceps muscle to "wake up" and fire properly. That's where e-stim comes in.

Here's why we use it:

✅ Helps activate the quad when your brain struggles to after surgery

✅ Reduces muscle loss during early recovery

✅ Improves strength and function when combined with exercises

✅ Best results when started early — within the first 2 weeks post-op

The key? Intensity matters! The stronger the contraction you can tolerate, the better the results. That's what you're seeing in this video — a strong, visible quad contraction that's helping this knee get back on track.

E-stim isn't a replacement for rehab — it's a powerful tool we use alongside your exercise program to give your recovery a head start. 🚀

If you've had ACL surgery or are preparing for one, ask your surgeon or physical therapist about incorporating NMES into your rehab plan.

Did you know? You can see an Occupational Therapist without a referral in Wisconsin!

In the state of Wisconsin, Occupational Therapists are considered direct access providers—meaning you can come straight to OT without needing a physician referral first.

That means:
✔️ Faster access to care
✔️ No waiting for additional appointments
✔️ Earlier treatment = better outcomes

Whether you're dealing with:
• Shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand pain
• Difficulty with daily tasks
• Post-surgical recovery
• Work-related or ergonomic issues

Our Occupational Therapist at Pinnacle is here to help you get back to doing what matters most—sooner.

📞 Have questions or want to get started? Reach out—we’ll help guide you through the process!

💙 Parkinson’s Awareness Month Spotlight 💙

Did you know there is a Parkinson’s-specific exercise class right here in Wisconsin Rapids at the South Wood County YMCA?

This class is designed to help individuals with Parkinson’s improve mobility, balance, strength, and overall confidence through guided, functional exercise in a supportive group setting. Classes are every Wednesday from 12:00-12:50. Reach out to the South Wood County YMCA for more information.

👏 We’re proud to share that our very own Dr. Heather McCarthy helps lead this class alongside another local physical therapist—bringing expert care and a passion for helping others stay active and independent.

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for managing Parkinson’s—and having a local, supportive community makes all the difference.

📍 Check out the video to see local participants in action!

💙 At Pinnacle Performance Therapy, we’re proud to support our community both inside and outside the clinic.

Orthoses aren’t one-size-fits-all! Different orthoses support different joints, motions, and goals—from pain relief, to protection, to improving functional movement.

In this video, you’ll see how a thumb spica orthosis helps position the thumb for improved stability and function during daily tasks. Small changes in positioning can make a big difference in comfort and control!

Do you deal with hand or wrist pain? Wonder if an orthosis could help you? Reach out to us now to get set up with our upper extremity expert!
