Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy

At Carolina Chiropractic Center, we utilize electrical muscle stimulation as an exceptional way to help the body in the healing process. If you have a spasm in your back or neck muscle, this type of therapy works well in relaxing the muscle and allowing it to return to its normal state rather quickly. Electrical muscle stimulation devices (EMS) have been shown to increase muscle strength, to decrease body weight and body fat, and to improve muscle firmness and tone in healthy individuals.

Short therapy sessions are excellent at facilitating healing from acute and chronic pain. This is accomplished by sending a very small electrical current into the affected soft tissue injury or muscle spasm. The therapy itself utilizes this current in an effort to help reduce swelling and release trigger points that may have tightened the muscle. It does this by guiding the body to release endorphins.
