A natural path to relief: electrical muscle stimulation treatment

Dealing with pain can gradually alter your life. Simple activities such as moving groceries, climbing stairs, or getting proper rest will become difficult. While many people believe that either surgery or strong medication is the only way out, there is still another option. The use of electrical muscle stimulation treatment has emerged as a reliable non-surgical solution for pain relief, decreasing muscle spasms, and fast recovery. Patients at Makda Chiropractic Health Center are treated naturally, with therapy focused on addressing the source of the problem.

Introduction to Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy

EMS is the stimulation of muscles using electrical impulses that induce contractions of the muscles through electrode pads. This type of therapy should help reduce muscle tension and improve circulation in the body. The entire procedure does not take more than a few minutes during which the patient feels some tingling or prickling. Once the procedure is complete, these sensations subside quickly and the muscles relax.

How Does EMS Treatment Function?

Muscles usually become tight or contract when they get hurt or tired. The contraction might limit their blood flow and cause other symptoms including inflammation and pain. Placing small electrodes on the problem areas of the muscles. Electric stimulation that causes muscle contractions. Contractions help muscles relax. This treatment helps release natural painkillers produced by our body—endorphins. Improved blood flow ensures a supply of oxygen and other elements required for tissue repair. It’s quite amazing that such a simple procedure can relieve discomfort after a few treatments, even though everyone heals in their own way.

Conditions that Can Be Improved Using EMS Therapy

There are a number of musculoskeletal conditions that can benefit from the use of EMS therapy. The following are some of the conditions for which your chiropractor will recommend EMS therapy:

Back and Neck Pain

Tightness in the muscles of the spinal column can lead to discomfort. EMS relieves such tightness and assists chiropractic adjustment.

Muscle Spasms

Sudden tightening of muscles is usually painful. It makes movement difficult. EMS reduces such spasms through relaxation of tired muscles.

Injuries Suffered During Sports

Sportspeople suffer from muscle fatigue and strain. EMS can assist in quick healing by increasing circulation and reducing soreness.

Stiff Joints

Tightness in the muscles surrounding joints restricts joint movement. EMS assists in loosening such muscles.

Chronic Pain

Patients suffering from chronic pain find relief in EMS, which is non-invasive and helps relieve pain.
