Elite Spine Chiropractic now offers EMS, or Electrical Muscle Stimulation, as part of your care in Greenville. EMS uses gentle electrical pulses to make your muscles contract and relax. It is non-invasive, needs no medication, and works alongside your chiropractic adjustments.

Tight, sore, or weak muscles can keep pulling your spine out of balance. EMS helps those muscles let go and recover, so your adjustments can hold.

Muscles and joints work as a team. When a muscle is in spasm or has gone weak after an injury, it changes how you move and puts extra strain on your spine. Electrical Muscle Stimulation works on the muscle side of that problem. Here is how it can help:

• Muscle Spasm Relief: Rhythmic contractions help tight, guarded muscles relax.
• Pain Management: The pulses can calm pain signals in the treated area, giving you relief without medication.
• Improved Circulation: Muscle contractions move blood through the area, which supports normal healing.
• Muscle Re-Education: EMS helps muscles that have weakened after an injury or a period of inactivity start firing again.
• Reduced Swelling: Gentle contractions can help move fluid out of an irritated area.

HOW DOES ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION WORK?

Small pads called electrodes are placed on your skin over the muscles being treated. A stimulation unit sends mild electrical pulses through the pads, and those pulses cause the muscle to contract and release. Your provider sets the intensity and adjusts it to what feels comfortable for you.

EMS is often used as part of care for:

• Low Back Pain
• Neck and Shoulder Tension
• Muscle Spasms
• Sprains and Strains
• Car Accident and Sports Injuries
• Muscle Weakness After an Injury

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION

You will lie or sit comfortably while the electrodes are placed over the treatment area. As the unit starts, you will feel a tingling or tapping feeling and see the muscle gently tighten and relax. It should never be painful. Most sessions take about 10 to 15 minutes, and you can go back to your normal day right after.

Dr. Lupori will let you know if EMS is right for you. It is not used for everyone. Please tell us if you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, are pregnant, or have a history of seizures.
