Electrical muscle stimulation in Decatur
Learn how the practice uses electrodes and small muscle contractions as one option in an individualized chiropractic care plan.
Electrical muscle stimulation, or EMS, is an electrotherapy option at Total Health & Injury Specialist. Dr. Teresa Jackson may include it in your care when she believes it is appropriate for your needs. Call (404) 734-9740 to request an evaluation in Decatur.
What happens during the therapy?
The office places electrodes over the affected area. A current passes through the electrodes and stimulates small muscle contractions.
This is a different treatment from spinal adjustments. EMS works with muscle activity, while the practice can also discuss care involving the spinal joints and other supporting tissues.
How it fits your plan
The practice’s electrotherapy information discusses muscle spasms and lower-back discomfort. Whether EMS belongs in your plan depends on your evaluation and the chiropractor’s recommendations.
The office combines different care options as appropriate. Related services include cold laser therapy, myofascial release, ice pack cryotherapy and spinal decompression.
Understand the recommendations
Your visit is an opportunity to discuss the findings, ask what each proposed therapy involves and understand the care plan. For injuries after a crash, the car accident care page explains the examination and same-visit review of findings.
