Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)


Nowadays, there are many different treatments to help alleviate aches, pains, and injuries. One such treatment is called Electrical Muscle Stimulation, which involves special technology to help reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time. We at ACT Wellness Center take pride in offering our patients different chiropractic treatments and advanced technologies to help them feel their best. We are excited to offer EMS and other chiropractic services in the Woodbridge area!


When it comes to chiropractic treatment, your Woodbridge office provides the best care around. Chiropractic care is a holistic and natural form of treatment. There is no need for or reliance on prescription drugs. Instead, we focus on the root of your pain. Only by treating the cause will the symptoms disappear. It's why we offer EMS to our patients. 


EMS works great for muscle spasms, soft tissue injuries, and athletes who are looking for a quicker workout recovery time. EMS is a popularly used chiropractic treatment for the back and neck muscles and has been successful in relieving acute and chronic pain. EMS is a simple treatment that only takes a few minutes to perform. Electrodes are placed on the affected area and an electrical current is transmitted into the soft tissue or muscle. The strength of the current depends on the type of injury, its location, and how deep the therapy is going to be. The muscles experience small but quick contractions, which may make the patient feel a prickly or tingling sensation.


 


EMS is a great option for patients suffering from:


 


- Arthritis


- Nerve inflammation


- Cancer-related pain


- Dysphagia


- Fibromyalgia


- Muscle injury from trauma


- Back pain


- Spinal cord injury


- Stroke recovery


- Muscle injury from disease


- Urinary incontinence
