EMS Therapy in Sandy Springs, GA
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a safe, effective therapy used to reduce pain, ease swelling, and speed recovery. It’s commonly recommended for soft-tissue injuries, muscle spasms, and even for athletes looking to recover faster after intense workouts.
How does EMS work?
During treatment, small electrodes are placed on the skin over the affected area. Once the device is activated, gentle electrical currents stimulate the muscles, causing quick, tiny contractions. The intensity is adjusted based on your condition and comfort level. You may feel a mild tingling or prickling sensation that fades once the session ends—many patients even find it relaxing.
These controlled contractions help tired or tight muscles relax, relieving pain and reducing spasms. EMS also encourages the release of natural endorphins and helps clear metabolic waste, allowing nutrients to reach injured tissues and support faster healing.What are the benefits of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
EMS is commonly used on the neck, back, and other areas experiencing pain, and it’s effective for both acute and chronic discomfort. If you’re dealing with ongoing pain or recovering from an injury, ask your chiropractor if electrical muscle stimulation could enhance your healing.
