If you have chronic muscle pain or weakness, you should consult with Dr. Lambert about Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS).
Why Get Electric Muscle Stimulation?
When you are experiencing pain from muscle tension, EMS therapy can provide the relief you need. Because the pulses exacerbate contractions, they work the muscles and produce endorphins that create a feeling of wellness.
Many athletes benefit from ongoing treatment as it helps to facilitate healing and strengthen tired muscles during workout recovery. Most people who are healing from an illness that has resulted in muscle atrophy can also benefit from stimulating the muscles to strengthen them again. Healing can happen faster as the process also promotes waste removal.
Back or neck pain are common reasons for this treatment, but it can ease soft tissue pain all over the body. Overextending tendons can cause build-up of scar tissue that can limit the range of motion and put pressure on the spinal discs or nerves. EMS therapy can reduce pressure on the nerves as it breaks up scar tissue and muscle tension.
How Does EMS Therapy Work?
When you get electrical muscle stimulation, Dr. Lambert attaches electrodes to your skin. The electrodes should go over the part of your body where you’re experiencing pain or weakness. The electrodes send pulses to your soft tissue when your practitioner turns on a machine. She can control the timing and intensity of these pulses. You will notice a prickly or tingling sensation as the pulses cause your muscles to quickly contract.
