Cutting Edge Technologies for Cutting Edge Care
Many health treatments have evolved over the years and technology now plays a bigger role than ever before. This is true for chiropractic care, as well. Electrical muscle stimulation has emerged as a popular form of muscle tension and pain relief.
Electrical muscle stimulation uses low-power electrical currents to cause muscles to contract.
EMS is especially useful for strengthening weak muscles. If you have been in an accident or have gone through a major illness, your muscles may have atrophied. Getting them into proper shape can be difficult and painful even with physical therapy. EMS can help you gently but consistently retrain an injured muscle. The electrical currents can also relax muscles and relieve tension. This can help with pinched nerves and other issues associated with swelling.
Are you interested in trying EMS? There is no such thing as a panacea, but when it comes to muscle issues, EMS is one of the most versatile treatment methods. If you live in or near Phoenixville, PA, and want to try electrical muscle stimulation, come work with Dr. Ahmed at the Chiro-Care Health and Massage Center.
Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation Safe?
At first glance, electrical muscle stimulation may seem rather intimidating. After all, isn't electricity dangerous?
Consider this: your body uses electricity in the brain to support mental functions. Further, the nervous system as a whole relies on electricity to naturally cause muscles to contract. In many ways, the human body is powered by electricity.
Ultimately, when used correctly, EMS is a very safe treatment. If you experience any discomfort, you can let your chiropractor know and the treatment can be adjusted.
