Electrical Muscle Stimulation at Aldridge Family Chiropractic

What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic treatment used to relieve muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing by using electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions. This non-invasive therapy enhances muscle recovery, increases circulation, and alleviates discomfort. At Aldridge Family Chiropractic, Dr. Mark Aldridge, who is board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, uses EMS to complement chiropractic adjustments and help patients recover from various musculoskeletal conditions.

Benefits of Electrical Muscle Stimulation

EMS offers a range of benefits for patients dealing with muscle pain, injury recovery, and other conditions, including:

  • Pain Relief: Alleviates muscle soreness, spasms, and tension.
  • Increased Blood Flow: Promotes circulation, speeding up recovery and reducing inflammation.
  • Faster Recovery: Assists in faster healing of injured muscles and tissues.
  • Reduced Swelling: Helps control inflammation in affected areas.
  • Improved Muscle Function: Strengthens weak or atrophied muscles by promoting healthy contractions.

EMS is ideal for treating issues like back pain, neck pain, muscle strains, and injuries related to sports or overuse.

Our Procedure for Electrical Muscle Stimulation

At Aldridge Family Chiropractic, the EMS process is simple, comfortable, and highly effective. Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Aldridge will perform a thorough examination to determine if EMS is the right treatment for your condition.
  2. Application of Electrodes: Small adhesive electrodes are placed on the targeted muscle areas.
  3. Electrical Stimulation: The EMS device sends gentle electrical impulses through the electrodes, causing the muscles to contract and relax, promoting healing and relieving tension.

The treatment is typically short, lasting around 10-15 minutes, and can be easily integrated into your chiropractic care plan.
