Electrical muscle stimulation

Schedule an Appointment

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic treatment that uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions. At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro incorporates EMS to help reduce muscle pain, improve circulation, and accelerate healing.

EMS is especially effective for patients recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to enhance muscle strength and flexibility as part of their chiropractic care.

Benefits of Electrical Muscle Stimulation

  • Relieves muscle spasms and tension

  • Enhances blood flow and promotes tissue healing

  • Reduces pain and inflammation

  • Strengthens weak or atrophied muscles

  • Speeds up recovery from injury or surgery
How EMS Works

Small electrodes placed on the skin deliver controlled electrical pulses to targeted muscles. These pulses mimic the body’s natural signals, causing muscles to contract and relax, improving muscle function without strenuous effort.
