Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)

An injury or illness can lead to muscular atrophy and make it hard for muscles to contract. Inducing movement in an affected muscle can assist in the recovery process. Chiropractic Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim) is a therapy that causes muscles to contract and may reduce your discomfort during rehabilitation. Southeast Chiropractic: The Motion Centers offers E-Stim and other non-invasive treatments to encourage the healing process. Learn about the benefits of E-Stim today.

How Does Chiropractic Muscle Stimulation Work?

Chiropractic Muscle Stimulation or E-Stim is a specialized medical treatment that uses electric currents to induce muscle contraction. It is non-invasive and clients may lay down while undergoing the therapy. Patients do not experience pain from the therapy. In fact, many find a session an enjoyable experience.

The Benefits of E-Stim

You may benefit from including E-Stim as part of an individualized treatment program. As a non-invasive therapy, E-Stim has shown to be an effective treatment for many. A care plan including this therapy offers significant benefits like:

  • Improving blood flow to an area of injury, promoting the healing process in affected areas.
  • Increasing muscle tone and muscle strength in weakened muscles.
  • Strengthening the link between muscle movement and your brain, making it easier to move from easier exercises to more complex tasks.
  • Preventing or slowing muscle atrophy, or a decrease of muscle mass.
  • Encouraging relaxation, as the therapy releases tension in muscles, and encourages endorphin production.

Individuals who have chronic conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and athletes who are looking to enhance their performance can both benefit from E-Stim. Those with MS can experience a reduction in muscle tension and discomfort after a session, making movement easier. Athletes can use E-Stim to reduce swelling and soreness after a workout. It can also be used to decrease muscle stiffness as part of injury prevention. Speak with our doctors today to explore your treatment options.

I have been a patient of Southeast Chiropractic for many years and I can honestly say that they have changed my life.

Now, with regular maintenance care, I am able to live a pain-free and active life. I highly recommend Southeast Chiropractic to anyone looking for a chiropractor who can help them achieve their health and wellness goals.

I have been a patient of Dr. Snyder‘s for about four years now. Not only do I receive enormous comfort and relief with clear explanations of what is needed and how I am being helped, but I thoroughly enjoy each appointment. The office is a warm, friendly environment and I receive genuine care, love and concern from everyone who works there! I feel like I am treating myself just to be there without even having the chiropractic work done! I can’t recommend Dr. Snyder enough, and I would personally like to invite everyone to experience the cheerful, inviting atmosphere and hospitality extended by the staff! Thank you Dr. Snyder for how much you have helped me, and thank you Ashley and Caressa, for always making my visit the uplifting experience I need in a world filled with turmoil. You are the best!
