Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) & Therapeutic Ultrasound
At Ponte Vedra Beach Chiropractic, we offer EMS and therapeutic ultrasound to improve outcomes and results through chiropractic care. EMS and therapeutic ultrasound are helpful with reducing muscle spasm and tension, decreasing pain, decreasing inflammation, and enhancing recovery.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS sends low voltage impulses through electrodes, placed on muscles, to cause the muscles to contract and relax. The benefits include:
- Reduced muscle spasm and tension
- Decreased pain through blocking pain signals
- Decreased pain through the release of endorphins
- Increasing blood flow to enhance delivery of nutrients and oxygen for repair
- Reducing inflammation
- Reducing swelling
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the treatment area, creating mechanical vibrations which help muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints heal. The vibrations help promote healing in the following ways:
- Creates a mild, deep heat which increases blood flow
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Reduces muscle spasm and tension
- Improves flexibility and mobility
- Reduces scar tissue and adhesions
Both treatments are highly effective, comfortable, and safe when integrated with chiropractic care.
