Electrical Muscle Stimulation

What Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?

Nerve problems are difficult to treat. Modern medicine has found several promising methods to resolve nerve issues, but no two cases are the same. Here at Live Well Chiropractic, we're committed to staying up to date on treatments for various nerve conditions. If you are suffering from nerve issues, our electrical muscle stimulation and nerve repair treatments may be able to help.

Electrical muscle stimulation is a therapeutic treatment with a wide range of applications and promising results. At its core, the process works by using electrical signals to stimulate specific muscles to make them contract. Electrical stimulation is valuable for patients who, for multiple reasons, may not be able to reliably initiate muscle contraction on their own. This therapy can help strengthen muscle tissue. It can stimulate blood flow in an area to improve recovery time.

In perhaps the most interesting application, it can help patients regain lost control of muscle and motor skills. This is why Electrical Muscle Stimulation is common in treating stroke victims. A stroke can leave a person with reduced control over certain parts of their body. Electrical stimulation therapy can help retrain the neurons and restore some or all of the lost control. It is similarly effective for patients who lose motor control for reasons other than a stroke.

Electrical stimulation can also be used to provide pain relief from some neurological issues. By stimulating the neurons in a controlled way, it can help with the misfiring that causes uncontrollable pain, particularly from issues like neuropathy.

What to Expect From Nerve Repair Treatment

Nerve repair treatment is a means of helping patients suffering from neurological problems to minimize pain and regain some control over portions of the body. It’s important to understand that this is not a singular treatment. Instead, it’s a holistic approach to medicine, and a combination of efforts will be applied to yield the best results.

Nerve treatment might include electrical therapy, realignment therapy, physical therapy, and several other alternative treatment courses. Each patient will have a holistic therapy course crafted to their specific situation. This gives the best chances for lasting recovery.
