How Electric Stimulation Therapy Works

Writer's picture: Jaeyoung LeeJaeyoung Lee

Electric stimulation therapy, also known as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), is a treatment method used at Inje Physical Therapy to help patients with musculoskeletal problems. This therapy involves the use of electrical currents to stimulate the muscles and nerves in the body. But how does electric stimulation therapy actually work? During the treatment, electrodes are placed on the skin near the affected area. These electrodes deliver small electrical impulses that cause the muscles to contract. This contraction helps to strengthen the muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain. One of the main benefits of electric stimulation therapy is its ability to aid in muscle rehabilitation. By stimulating the muscles, this therapy can help to retrain and strengthen weakened muscles. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced muscle atrophy due to injury or surgery. In addition to muscle rehabilitation, electric stimulation therapy can also be used for pain management. The electrical impulses can help to block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief for patients who are experiencing chronic pain. Furthermore, electric stimulation therapy can be used to strengthen muscles. By causing the muscles to contract, this therapy can help to build strength and improve overall muscle function. This is especially beneficial for athletes or individuals who are looking to improve their physical performance. At Inje Physical Therapy, our highly trained therapists customize the electric stimulation therapy to meet each patient's specific needs. We take into consideration factors such as the patient's condition, goals, and tolerance levels. We ensure that the therapy is safe and effective by closely monitoring the intensity and duration of the electrical impulses.
