Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is electrical muscle stimulation for injuries?

Electrical muscle stimulation therapy (EMST) is a therapy that makes your muscles contract. It uses electrical impulses to strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, and relieve pain while helping heal wounds.

How long should you use electrical stimulation?

A standard session lasts 20 to 60 minutes. But it depends on your condition. The chiropractor will determine how long each session will be after a proper evaluation.

How to know if electrical muscle stimulation therapy is working?

After every session, it’s normal for your muscles to be sore. It’s a sign that your muscles have worked deeply. But this soreness disappears within 24 to 48 hours.

Can EMS get rid of muscle knots?

Yes, electrical muscle stimulation therapy can help. It forces your muscles to contract and release. This action improves local blood flow and relaxes tension.
