Electrical Muscle Stimulation with CaliSpine means non-invasive muscle recovery and pain relief.

At CaliSpine, we specialize in Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), a non-invasive approach to muscle rehabilitation and pain management. Our EMS therapy utilizes controlled electrical currents to stimulate muscle contraction, aiding in the strengthening and recovery of muscle tissues. This technique is especially beneficial for patients recovering from injuries, those suffering from muscle weakness or chronic pain, and athletes looking to enhance their training outcomes.

Our personalized EMS treatment plans are designed to cater to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring effective and targeted muscle therapy. For anyone seeking to improve their muscle function, alleviate pain, or accelerate recovery.

Our Process to Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

  • Initial Assessment

    We first evaluate your condition by reviewing your medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests to determine the exact nature of the spinal issue.

  • EMS Therapy

    Electrical impulses are applied to targeted muscle groups using EMS devices. The intensity and frequency of these impulses are carefully calibrated to ensure optimal muscle engagement without causing discomfort.

  • Monitoring and Adjustments

    The final step involves monitoring the patient's progress and adjusting the treatment plan. This might include increasing the intensity of the electrical impulses, targeting different muscle groups, or integrating other therapeutic modalities.

What Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) ?

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation, is a method that uses electric impulses to elicit muscle contraction. It's used for various purposes, including strength training for healthy individuals and athletes, rehabilitation for those partially or immobilized, and a testing tool for neural and muscular function. The impulses are delivered through electrodes on the skin close to the muscles being stimulated, mimicking the action potential from the central nervous system. This technique is increasingly recognized for its benefits in muscle activation before exercise, while its effectiveness post-exercise remains debated.

Who is a Good Candidate for EMS & How Long Until I Feel Results?

Good candidates for Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) typically include those looking to enhance muscle strength and tone, athletes aiming for improved performance, and those undergoing physical rehabilitation. EMS is particularly beneficial for those partially or fully immobilized, as it assists in muscle conditioning and prevents atrophy. However, it's not recommended for people with certain health conditions like heart problems and epilepsy or those with implanted devices such as pacemakers.

How long it takes to feel the results can vary based on individual goals and conditions. Generally, some improvement in muscle tone or relief from pain may be noticeable after just a few sessions. For more significant muscle-building or rehabilitation goals, visible or tangible results might take a few weeks of consistent use. It's important to note that for muscle development or rehabilitation, consistent and ongoing use of EMS in conjunction with other exercises and a balanced diet is essential for long-term effectiveness.
