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.

Conditions Treated with a Muscle Stimulator Device
We recommend EMS to treat and relieve the pain, stiffness, and inflammation caused by the following:
- Sciatica
- Muscle spasms
- Carpal tunnel
- Connective tissue injury
- Arthritis
- Muscle atrophy (due to illness or lengthy recovery from surgery)
- Tennis/golfer's elbow
- Sports injuries
- Chronic wounds/ulcers slow to heal (stimulates cellular mitochondria to produce energy for tissue re-growth and healing)
By relaxing and contracting muscle repetitively, electric muscle stimulation improves muscle tone/strength, facilitates recovery from injuries and significantly improves your range of motion. Some people also prefer using EMS instead of massage therapy to ease both physical and psychological stress. The ability of a muscle stimulator to enhance blood circulation and provoke the release of endorphins has a powerful calming effect on your mind and body.
