There are now many different treatments to help alleviate aches, pains, and injuries of the body. One such treatment we offer at Personal Care Chiropractic in Arlington, MA, is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Your experienced chiropractor, Dr. Nicholas Stamoulos, uses EMS to help reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time in his patients. Dr. Stamoulos is committed to offering his patients different treatments and technologies to help them feel their best.
EMS works great for muscle spasms, soft tissue injuries, and athletes who are looking for a quicker workout recovery time. EMS is popularly used on 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 areas 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
-Poor muscle strength
-Surgery recovery

Electrical Muscle Stimulation
At Personal Care Chiropractic & Massage, Dr. Nicholas Stamoulos and staff promote a multifaceted approach to chiropractic health. Electrical Muscle Stimulation is a therapy recommended for patients with chronic pain, injuries to soft tissue, and muscle spasms.
The body’s natural electric current is disrupted when injury or disease occurs. Electrical Muscle Stimulation is administered by placing electrodes directly on the body and sending a small electrical current to the affected soft tissue or muscle. The current works by mimicking the signals that occur naturally in a healthy body, causing the targeted muscle to experience small contractions. The muscles contract and then relax, which helps reduce swelling and releases any trigger points that may be causing muscles to lock up.
This treatment helps an injured body heal faster, and relieves pain and muscle spasms. Endorphins, the body’s most powerful natural pain relievers, are also released as a result of this process. The amount of electricity used in electrical muscle stimulation is small but enough to be effective for treating spasms and other chronic or acute pains. This treatment is usually scheduled in short sessions over a period of weeks depending on the location and severity of the pain or injury.
