Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Chiropractors are perhaps most well-known for their hands-on care. However, like other fields of care, chiropractic treatment has been quick to embrace advanced technologies when they can be leveraged to provide lasting healing and pain relief. If you are in pain and live in or near Victoria, TX, you should consider undergoing electrical muscle stimulation at the Crossroads Chiropractic Clinic. Dr. Cynthia Airhart has used this advanced form of care to help numerous patients heal. 

A Closer Look at Electrical Muscle Stimulation

First, don’t let “electrical” scare you. The currents used are indeed electric, but they're also gentle and won’t damage the body. Quite the opposite, electrical stimulation can resolve muscle tension and stimulate biological processes that may lead to faster and more complete healing. Modern equipment also makes it possible to exercise great precision and caution when working with patients. 

At the Crossroads Chiropractic Clinic, we use top-notch equipment and industry best practices. People who are in pain and reside in the vicinity of Victoria, TX, should schedule electrical muscle stimulation at the Crossroads Chiropractic Clinic. Dr. Airhart and many of her patients have found success with this advanced form of chiropractic care.

So more specifically, what does this treatment accomplish? Electrical currents force muscles to contract and relax, which can reduce if not eliminate muscle tension and may relieve inflammation as well. Additionally, electrical currents can be especially effective at relieving spasms, which can cause sharp pain and may decrease mobility if left untreated. 

The electrical currents may also block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing temporary relief. This is actually how many pain medications work. Yet painkillers may only block pain signals and often do little else. With electrical stimulation therapy, blocking pain signals is only one of many benefits.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation For Increased Strength

Beyond resolving pain triggers and reducing spasms, electrical stimulation may also strengthen muscles. This can help patients recover muscle function and potentially increase flexibility.
