What is EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) in Santa Clarita CA?

Electrical Muscle Stimulation, also known as EMS, is a type of electrotherapy that uses a specific type of electrical current to activate certain muscles. Low levels of electrical current are applied to electrode pads strategically placed on the targeted muscles, causing repetitive contractions.


There Are Numerous Types

Electrical stimulation comes in a variety of forms. Some are used to help with pain relief, inflammation reduction, muscular atrophy prevention, and muscle spasm relaxation:

  • Low Volt - Used to relieve muscle spasms and pain.
  • High-voltage Galvanic – Reduces muscle spasms.
  • Muscle-strengthening Russian Stimulation
  • Interferential– Reduction of pain and inflammation.
  • Iontophoresis is a technique for reducing pain and edema.
  • Micro Current - Enhance healing by increasing cellular metabolism.

We take the method that is most appropriate for your clinical situation.


How Does EMS Make You Feel

The electrical impulses can cause a little tingling feeling at initially. The impulses imitate the signals that your nervous system sends out, causing your muscles to contract. During your 10- to 20-minute treatment, as your body adjusts to the muscular excitation, the intensity of the treatment may be gently raised for the best benefit.
