Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapy involving very low levels of electrical impulses delivered to the injured, painful tissues to reduce pain and speed healing. Patients generally feel a slight tingling sensation at first. Since your body may become accustomed to the initial setting, the intensity may be raised during the course of your treatment, for maximum healing effect. This therapy is often used to help with acute or chronic pain, as well as strains or sprains of the muscles, and joints in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments.
