Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an exceptional way to help the body in the healing process. This is accomplished by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm. The therapy utilizes this current in an effort to help reduce swelling and release trigger points that may have the muscle locked up. It does this by helping the body to release natural relievers of pain often referred to as endorphins.

This is a great therapy if there is a spasm in a back or neck muscle. It works well in relaxing the muscle and allowing it to return to its normal state rather quickly. Short therapy sessions are excellent at facilitating healing from acute and chronic pain.

In some instances, a patient's condition develops a muscle contraction "pattern." These contraction patterns can "lock-in" the condition and the pain. Applying the elctrodes onto the problem muscle area de-programs the "locked in" contraction pattern and enables the involved muscle to re-establish a normal pattern of contraction. This improves recovery.
