Carolina Chiropractic Center Provides Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Are you suffering with neck or back muscle spasms or injury? Here at Carolina Chiropractic Center in Florence, SC, we provide electric muscle stimulation (EMS) to help with this.

What is Electric Muscle Stimulation?

Electrical muscle stimulation is a type of physical therapy approach that our Florence, SC chiropractor, Dr. James Huggins Jr., uses to stimulate muscle contraction in order to strengthen your muscle and manage your pain and inflammation. It relaxes your muscle and allows it to quickly return to its normal state. It is an outstanding way to help the healing process of your body.

Dr. Huggins sends tiny electrical current into your affected muscle spasm or soft tissue injury through the use of an electric stimulation machine. He places it on affected areas of your body like your shoulder, back, neck, ankle, knee, or wrist. This reduces your swelling and releases trigger points that could lock up your muscle. It helps release endorphins, which are natural pain relievers your body produces.

How EMS Works

When Dr. Huggins performs electric muscle stimulation, this small amount of electrical current causes fast contraction to your muscles and gives you a soothing tingling sensation. These contractions relax your spasm and relieve pain by fatiguing your muscle.
