Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center offers Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to patients. This is a chiropractic treatment that results in full-body healing. EMS works by creating a small electrical current and sending it into the injured or painful soft tissue. The results are reduced swelling and a release of locked trigger points. Another benefit is the release of your body’s endorphins. These work as natural pain relievers! To learn more, contact our office in Nitro, WV.

There is no reason to be worried before your appointment. The entire procedure is safe and straightforward. It starts with your Nitro, WV, chiropractor placing electrodes on the injured area. The common spots are the back of the neck, shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist, and lower/upper back. These electrodes are what allows the electricity to flow into your body. The electricity mimics the pulses that naturally exist in your body. Your central nervous system then responds to these pulses. The muscles will contract, eventually tiring themselves out. The results are a release of endorphins across your system.

EMS is not a painful process. Patients report that it feels like a tingling yet soothing sensation. There is no burning, stabbing pain, or stinging. Patients suffering from inflammation, muscle spasms, and acute and chronic pain have found success with EMS. Some patients even report headache and stress relief, along with an improved range-of-motion.

Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center offers holistic and noninvasive treatments for patients. EMS helps the body heal by kick-starting its production of endorphins. If you are interested in Electrical Muscle Stimulation, schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan today. Call our Nitro, WV, office at 304-776-1520 or visiting https://www.drjbackdocwv.com/.
