Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS Therapy)
Relieve Pain, Speed Recovery, and Restore Muscle Function
Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a safe, effective therapy used to help muscles recover, relieve pain, and enhance overall performance. By delivering gentle electrical impulses to targeted muscle groups, EMS promotes healing, reduces inflammatino, and improves circulation- helping your body recover naturally and efficiently.
At our office, EMS therapy is commonly used to complement chiropractic care, soft tissue treatments, and rehabilitation programs.
What is Electric Muscle Stimulation?
Electric muscle stimulation, also known as neuromuscular re-eduation, uses mild electrical currents to mimic your body's natural nerve signals. These controlled impulses cause muscles to contract and relax rhythmically, helping to:
- Increase blood flow and oxygen delivery
- Reduce muscle spasms and tightness
- Decrease inflammation and swelling
- Strengthen and re-train weak muscles
- Relieve acute and chronic pain
This gentle, targeted therapy supports your body's natural ability to heal and maintain balance.
Benefits of EMS Therapy
Patients often experience immediate and lasting benefits from EMS therapy, including:
- Relief from back, neck, and joint pain
- Faster recovery after injury or surgery
- Improved muscle tone and flexibility
- Reduced muscle soreness and stiffness
- Enhanced circulation and tissue repair
- Relaxation and stress reduction
Whether used alone or alongside chiropractic adjustments or exercise therapy, EMS is a versatile and effective tool for recovery and performance.
What to Expect During Your EMS Session
During your treatment, small adhesive pads (electrodes) are placed on the skin over targeted muscle groups. The EMS unit delivers gentle electrical pulses that cause your muscles to contract in soothing, rhythmic patterns.
Most patients describe the sensation as a light tingling or pulsing that feels both relaxing and therapeutic. Sessions typically last 10-20 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. Many notice immediate improvements in muscle comfort and range of motion after just one session.
Is EMS Right for You?
Electric Muscle Stimulation may be an excellent choice if you experience:
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Poor circulation or inflammation
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain
- Chronic pain or postural imbalances
- Weak or inhibited muscles
Your provider will tailor your EMS treatment to your individual needs and goals, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and effective experience.
