Electrical Stimulation

Electrical Stimulation in Manhattan, KS

Electrical stimulation is a great way to address chronic pain as well as more recent injuries to the musculoskeletal system. If you are looking for a chiropractor near you with this treatment, come see us at Premier Chiropractic & Wellness.

What It Is

At Premier Chiropractic & Wellness, we strive to be an inclusive chiropractor in Manhattan, KS, that utilizes effective treatments. One such treatment we currently offer is electric muscle stimulation. This is a procedure done by treating the muscles with powerful electrical frequencies that stimulate the tissue and cause it to contract and loosen repeatedly.

Electric muscle stimulation, also called electrical stimulation, is different from TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation). TENS focuses on surface-level tissues and nerves, while EMS goes deep in the muscles and is used to relax the muscles when they suffer from lowered mobility, flexibility, and strength.

EMS can be considered the long term approach to muscular health and wellness while TENS is short term and typically used for pain management.

The Benefits of Electrical Stimulation

There are numerous benefits to receiving regular stimulation at your local chiropractor. Our specialists at Premier Chiropractic & Wellness remain up to date on research in the field and have outlined numerous ways in which it can improve your current health and flexibility. These include:

  • Stimulating muscular blood flow
  • Increasing strength
  • Reducing muscle pain
  • Improving psychological recovery

These benefits are accomplished through the natural action of electrical stimulation. The process increases blood flow in the region, causes muscle contractions which improve strength, and eliminate pain through warmth and the blood flow.

Psychologically, researchers discovered undergoing treatments like electrical stimulation improves a patient’s thoughts about their treatment and its eventual outcome. If you are struggling with an injury and are looking for a way to achieve multiple benefits at once, we highly recommend coming to see us.
