Arizona Chiropractic Tucson >> Treatments >> Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical muscle stimulation can relax your muscles to ease any tightness and soreness in your back. For instance, if you have sciatica symptoms, this therapy can stop the spasm that can relieve the pressure on your sciatic nerve.
You can start treating your muscle pain, strengthening muscles, and reducing your inflammation by undergoing electrical muscle stimulation. This treatment is safe with no risk of allergic reaction. Book a consultation with Dr. Heaton today to find out whether or not this option is ideal for your case.
Our EMS at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation Clinic involves applying small electrodes to your skin, causing repeated muscle contractions. The contractions strengthen your weakened muscles. Dr. Heaton typically recommends this type of stimulation after a knee ligament surgery to help activate muscle fibers.
This treatment also prepares you for chiropractic adjustments as it relaxes and loosens up your muscles. Relaxed muscles around the spine make adjustments more comfortable.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is a safe and drug-free option for your chronic pain and muscle spasms. You can find out whether or not you’re a good candidate for EMS by giving us a call. Dr. Heaton will evaluate the cause of your pain and design the perfect treatment plan for you. Reach out to us at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation in Tucson through (520) 600-3300.
