Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) is a therapy that uses gentle electrical impulses delivered through pads on the skin to contract muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, and help relax tight or injured tissues
How Electric Muscle Stimulation Works
-
Electrical Signals Target Muscles
The device sends low-level electrical currents into the muscle, causing it to contract and relax in a rhythmic pattern. -
Pain Signal Interruption
These electrical impulses help block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing temporary pain relief. -
Improved Blood Flow
The repeated muscle contractions increase circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the treated area to support healing. -
Muscle Re-education
EMS helps retrain weak or injured muscles to fire properly after injury, surgery, or chronic imbalance. -
Reduced Muscle Spasm
The rhythmic stimulation helps calm tight or knotted muscles and decreases muscle guarding.
What the Patient Feels
A mild tingling or pulsing sensation that is typically comfortable and adjustable based on intensity.
