Electric Muscle Stimulation

If you are dealing with acute or chronic pain, electric muscle stimulation is often not the first treatment option presented to you, but it is effective. More common than that, people ignore their injury or try to prevent the pain with medication. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we offer EMS treatment and have great success healing patient’s neck, back and joint pain.

EMS treatment mimics the body’s nervous system by sending low frequency electrical pulses to the affected area. This will cause he muscles to contract and increase the blood circulation to the area. By utilizing and encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms, Dr. Richard Robinson is able to drastically reduce patient’s dependence on medications and unnecessary surgeries to resolve painful symptoms.

EMS therapy is a great tool for patients with the following conditions:

• Carpal tunnel
• Muscle Atrophy
• Muscle Spasms
