This therapy uses gentle electrical pulses delivered through electrodes placed on the skin to target specific body areas. Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) comes in various forms, each designed to help in different ways. Some types ease pain or inflammation, others relieve muscle spasms, and some stimulate muscle contractions to prevent atrophy. Often, these therapies combine several benefits.
EMS works on the ‘Gate-Control Theory,’ meaning it stimulates large nerve fibers (A-beta) that help block pain signals, so you feel less discomfort. It can also improve your range of motion and support tissue healing. For trusted care and more details, give your local Denver NC chiropractors at Spine Chiropractic a call today.
