These days, more chiropractors are going beyond offering standard chiropractic adjustments to treat patients. After all, aligning the body and facilitating healing involves not only the spine, but the surrounding soft tissues, such as muscles and ligaments. When you consult with Dr. Kristian Mendyk and Dr. Derick Lajom at Mendyk Chiropractic in Perris and Moreno Valley, CA, you can be introduced to the benefits of Electrical Muscle Stimulation.
What Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?
Electrical muscle stimulation is a technique that relies on electrical current to promote healing. When you undergo this treatment, your practitioners place electrodes on your skin and send small electrical currents through your muscles. As a result, you'll likely experience less swelling and inflammation. Many people who suffer from muscle spasms benefit from this option. You will feel better as the process releases endorphins, which naturally relieve pain.
Who Should Use This Treatment
Muscle spasms usually occur when the muscle becomes too weak to contract, such as after an injury. As a result, the brain signals for a muscle to contract cause spasming, which can be painful. You can experience a muscle spasm in any part of your body, ranging from your neck to your back to your legs.
Extremely athletic people often benefit from this treatment to help speed up healing. If you've been injured in an auto accident, had surgery, or dealt with inflammatory conditions like arthritis, this treatment may promote healing by breaking up scar tissue beneath the skin. Whether you have acute or chronic pain, Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Perris and Moreno Valley, CA, can help you regain muscle function and build back to your old strength.
When you are living with ongoing pain, you may be looking for relief beyond surgery or medication. If this describes your situation, you should consult with Dr. Mendyk and Dr. Lajom at Mendyk Chiropractic for holistic, non-invasive treatment options. With Electrical Muscle Stimulation you can begin to live with fewer or no spasms.
