Electric Muscle Stimulation

Electric muscle stimulation uses a very mild electrical current to stimulate specific muscles to cause a desired change in those muscles - like relaxing tight muscles or strengthening weak ones.

~ By sticking electrode pads on your skin over the targeted muscles

~ An outside electrical source passes a minimal current through the electrode pads that will transmit the current through your skin to the nerves, which will stimulate your muscles (this process is very similar to how your own body sends current naturally)

Each patient’s experience differs, but most patients describe a relaxing tingling during the treatment. It is also common for some patients to report feeling slight pins and needles, muscle twitching, and/or a sensation like a massage during the treatment.

~ It may feel a little strange initially, but it should never hurt, and most patients love this therapy.

~ We provide a relaxing atmosphere where you can lounge in a recliner and watch television during your therapy

~ We offer several different types of electric muscle stimulation to customize therapy for your specific needs and desired treatment outcomes

~ We provide each patient with their own set of pads and sanitize the chairs in between each patient to ensure that you have a clean environment to relax

~ We also have portable electric stimulation devices, like TENS units or EMS combo units, in stock and available for patients to purchase so that they may perform this treatment at home in between office visits
