Electrical muscle stimulation therapy
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy, also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation, is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions. It is commonly used in rehabilitation settings to strengthen muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote muscle recovery.
During EMS therapy, electrodes are placed on the skin over the targeted muscles or nerve pathways. These electrodes deliver controlled electrical impulses, which mimic the body’s natural muscle contractions. Depending on the specific parameters set by the therapist, the impulses can vary in intensity, frequency, and duration.
The electrical impulses cause the muscles to contract and relax, similar to the way they would during voluntary exercise. This involuntary muscle activity can help strengthen weakened muscles, improve muscle coordination, and increase muscle endurance. EMS therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty performing traditional exercises due to injury, surgery, or neurological conditions.
In addition to muscle strengthening, EMS therapy can also be used for pain management. The electrical stimulation can help block pain signals transmitted by nerves, providing temporary relief from acute and chronic pain conditions. It may also stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals.
EMS therapy is commonly used in physical therapy clinics, sports medicine facilities, and rehabilitation centers to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Muscle weakness and atrophy
EMS can help prevent or reverse muscle loss and weakness caused by injury, surgery, or immobilization.
Orthopedic injuries
EMS therapy can aid in the recovery process for injuries such as fractures, sprains, strains, and tendonitis by promoting muscle strength and mobility.
Neurological conditions
EMS may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis to improve muscle function and movement.
Pain management
EMS can be used to alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic back pain.
While EMS therapy can be beneficial for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if EMS therapy is appropriate for your specific condition and medical history. Additionally, proper training and supervision are necessary to ensure safe and effective use of EMS devices.

Dr. Genrich took the time to explain why I was experiencing my symptoms and also showed me stretches to do on my own to help the treatment along and to prevent injuries in the future. She was very personable, pleasant, positive and professional.

Kristin got me from being bed-ridden for over a month to working a physical job, all within just a couple of months. She’ll tell you how to stretch to keep everything aligned properly in the long run. Can’t thank you enough!

Dr. Kirsten truly saved me! I was in so much pain and didn’t know what to do. I came into the clinic nervous and in pain but left a new woman! I recommend her to anyone I meet and is having similar issues.
