Electric cell signaling therapy also known as EST uses ultra-high frequency electrical signals to communicate directly with damaged nerve cells restoring normal cellular function and interrupting chronic pain signals. It works at the cellular level to restore nerve health rather than simply masking symptoms.
The right treatment starts with understanding what is driving your symptoms. Dr. Lazarus uses advanced diagnostics and podiatric expertise to decide whether this option makes sense for your foot, ankle, or nerve condition.
This treatment is selected when the underlying mechanics, tissue damage, nerve function, or nail condition call for a more precise approach than generic care.
ultra-high frequency signals restore normal cellular electrical gradients
helps repair damaged myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers
normalizes aberrant pain signals being sent by damaged nerves
improves energy production within damaged nerve cells
reduces neuroinflammation contributing to nerve damage
most effective when combined with Class IV laser therapy
Dr. Lazarus focuses on matching advanced treatment technology to the actual cause of your problem, then combining therapies when that creates a better outcome.
EST directly addresses the cellular dysfunction in peripheral nerves making it uniquely effective for numbness tingling and burning that has not responded to other treatments.
Significant symptom reduction in most neuropathy patients
When combined with Class IV laser therapy EST produces synergistic results that exceed what either treatment achieves alone. Dr. Lazarus combines both for maximum neuropathy outcomes.
Superior outcomes versus either treatment alone
For severe neuropathy cases regenerative medicine biologics are added to the EST and laser protocol to support nerve tissue repair at the structural level.
Comprehensive nerve repair for the most resistant cases
No generic treatment plan. No guesswork. Just a clearer path forward.

Dr. Lazarus combines advanced treatment technology with focused podiatric expertise, helping patients understand what is actually happening and what can be done about it.
EST is primarily used for peripheral neuropathy including diabetic neuropathy chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and idiopathic neuropathy. It is also effective for chronic nerve pain and conditions where the nerve's own electrical signaling has become dysregulated.
No. TENS uses low-frequency electrical stimulation primarily for temporary pain relief. EST uses ultra-high frequency signals that penetrate to the cellular level to restore normal nerve function rather than just blocking pain signals temporarily.
Most neuropathy patients require 8 to 16 sessions. Because EST works cumulatively the therapeutic effect builds progressively over the treatment course. Dr. Lazarus reassesses after each phase to optimize your protocol.
No. Most patients feel a mild tingling sensation at most during treatment. EST is completely non-invasive and pain-free with no recovery period required.
Coverage for electric cell signaling therapy varies by insurance plan and diagnosis. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your appointment. Call (475) 238-7400 for a coverage check.
Neuropathy medications like gabapentin and duloxetine manage symptoms without addressing the underlying nerve dysfunction. EST works at the cellular level to restore normal nerve function producing results that persist after treatment ends rather than requiring ongoing medication.
