Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Advanced Therapeutic Care to Accelerate Your Recovery and Relieve Pain
What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a highly effective, non-invasive therapy designed to reduce pain, alleviate muscle spasms, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery. It is a cornerstone of modern chiropractic care, commonly used for patients recovering from soft tissue injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, sports-related strains, or chronic pain conditions.
At Rocky Mountain Pain and Joint Center, we utilize advanced therapeutic modalities to accelerate your body’s natural healing process. Electrical Muscle Stimulation is also popular among athletes looking to enhance recovery after intense workouts and prevent recurring injuries.
How Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation Work?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation works by sending low-level electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin over targeted muscles or soft tissue. These impulses stimulate the muscles to contract and relax rhythmically, mimicking natural movements in a controlled and safe manner.
These tiny contractions triggered by Electrical Muscle Stimulation activate multiple healing mechanisms:
Muscle Relaxation:
Eases tension and tightness, effectively reducing spasms and stiffness.
Natural Pain Relief:
Promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
Enhanced Circulation:
Improves blood and lymph flow to deliver nutrients and remove metabolic waste.
Accelerated Healing:
Helps injured muscles and soft tissues recover significantly faster.
Rehabilitation Support:
Prepares muscles for more advanced movement and strengthening exercises.
