Stiffness in the muscles, pain and lack of mobility can turn the most ordinary daily actions into a challenge. Whether the problem is due to an injury during physical activity, poor posture or chronically tight muscles, choosing a method that is both safe and not intrusive is always the best way to go. One such procedure, which has recently been gaining in popularity, is the electrical muscle stimulation treatment. Through the use of mild electrical pulses at Makda Chiropractic Health Center on the targeted muscles, the procedure helps promote self-healing of the patients without going for surgical procedures.
What Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation Treatment?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is an approach to therapy that makes use of electrical impulses in order to stimulate muscles via the use of electrodes attached to the body’s skin surface. The impulses cause small muscle contractions that facilitate relaxation of tense muscles.
The procedure is usually recommended for individuals who have suffered from an injury, are experiencing muscle spasms or have some chronic pain condition. Due to its noninvasive nature, EMS can be a great therapy option since it gives the most favorable results to patients in a comfortable environment.
Benefits of EMS Therapy
Pain Relief
One of the main benefits of EMS therapy is pain relief. The electrical impulses stimulate the body by releasing natural pain-relieving processes that help to relax the tight muscles. This leads to reducing back pain, neck pain or joint pain.
Reducing Muscle Tension
If you are having a painful and challenging day, it is hard to move freely for everyday tasks due to muscle spasms and tightness. EMS encourages constant muscle contractions and relaxation, which helps in muscle relaxation.
Boosts Blood Circulation
The steady blood circulation in the affected tissues brings oxygen and nutrients. With the application of EMS, the flow of fluids around the area where therapy is performed increases. This results in fast healing while reducing inflammation and swelling.
Helps in Faster Recovery
Regardless of whether you are recovering from a physical training injury or muscle strain, EMS is able to speed up the process since it allows you to activate your muscles without putting too much pressure on the targeted area.
Improves Muscle Activation and Coordination
EMS therapy directly acts on the muscles that have become weak as a result of the injury or lack of activity. As time passes, it will help in improving the active participation and coordination of the muscles.
