E-Stim
Chiropractic care is a remarkably diverse approach to treating injuries and illnesses, utilizing various tools and techniques. While many people only recognize spinal adjustments as chiropractic treatments, other similarly effective techniques are also available. Electric muscle stimulation (E-stim) is one of those lesser-known yet highly effective techniques that more chiropractors are beginning to incorporate. At City Line Chiropractic, we offer electric muscle stimulation to all residents of Bala Cynwyd, PA.
Why Should You Seek a Chiropractor Offering Electric Muscle Stimulation?
Simply put, E-stim should be a part of everyone’s chiropractic care regimen. Find out why by continuing below.
What Are the Benefits of Electric Muscle Stimulation?
Admittedly, the term “electric muscle stimulation” may not conjure up positive imagery. You might initially find the concept somewhat unappealing. However, before you dismiss E-stim as something that might not be for you, it's important to understand what it is and how it can address your injuries.
Electric muscle stimulation is a treatment approach that uses electrical pulses to engage your muscles and nerves. Once these pulses reach your muscles and nerves, they cause contractions. These contractions are beneficial because they promote better circulation and an influx of nutrients to the affected areas.
Reducing Pain
By delivering more nutrients to the injured parts of your body, E-stim effectively accelerates the recovery process. If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain from an injury, the stimulation can significantly reduce and potentially eliminate your discomfort. E-stim can help address conditions such as arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and nerve inflammation.
Pain management is just one of the benefits provided by electric muscle stimulation. E-stim can also be used to strengthen your muscles. Enhanced muscle strength through E-stim increases your resistance to musculoskeletal injuries.
What Is the Experience of Receiving E-stim
Are you concerned about adding E-stim to your chiropractic care regimen due to fears that it may be uncomfortable? If so, you’ll be relieved to know those fears are unfounded. Electric muscle stimulation induces only mild tingling sensations. You can expect to feel completely comfortable throughout your treatment session. Treatment sessions using E-stim are also relatively brief. Even at the longest, E-stim sessions last around 15 minutes, making it a quicker option compared to many other chiropractic treatments.
