Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscular contractions in order to strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and aid healing.
NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) employs high-intensity electrical stimulation to elicit peripheral nerve activation and muscle contraction.
A device generates the impulses, which are then supplied by electrodes (skin-attached pads) across the muscles that need to be stimulated. EMS impulses are similar to the central nervous system’s action potential, and makes the muscle contract, similar to how the nervous system would.
By using small (and painless) amounts of electrical current, specific, targeted muscles are rapidly contracted and released. This relaxes the muscles and enables the adjustment to be more effective.
Muscle Stimulator Chiropractic Service
Our clinic provides a reliable muscle stimulator chiropractic service which helps patients achieve pain relief and recover from injuries while improving their mobility.
What Is Muscle Stimulation?
The therapeutic method of muscle stimulation through EMS or NMES uses soft electrical signals to trigger natural muscle contractions. The electrical signals duplicate the natural signals which the nervous system produces. The treatment process involves attaching small adhesive pads to particular muscle areas on the skin surface. The therapy creates a soothing muscle contraction and release effect which stimulates dormant muscles and relaxes tense or exhausted muscle groups.
Benefits: Pain Relief, Recovery, and Mobility
The therapy helps patients achieve muscle relaxation while reducing inflammation and enhancing blood flow throughout their body. The therapy works by triggering muscle contractions and relaxations, which help patients feel better while their body heals naturally. The therapy works best when patients receive chiropractic adjustments because it readies their muscles and makes their joints more flexible.
Who Can Benefit?
Athletes use muscle stimulation to speed up their recovery time and protect their athletic performance. The treatment method delivers excellent results for people who need to recover from muscle strains and sprains and those who experience ongoing muscle stiffness and restricted movement. The treatment brings patients better comfort levels and enhanced mobility after their session.
