Electrical Muscle Stimulation

In conjunction with other treatments, your doctor may use a modality called Electrical Muscle Stimulation, also referred to as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), to aid in the healing process. Electrical Stimulation can reduce pain, decrease muscular spasms, help tight muscles to relax, and promote healing. For these reasons it is a commonly used technique among chiropractic physicians, physical therapists and athletic trainers.

At Granite Chiropractic, Electrical Muscle Stimulation is often used in conjunction with moist heat to provide the greatest healing benefit.
