Electric muscle stimulation is used to help reduce swelling

Electric muscle stimulation is used to help reduce swelling, in turn, reduce chronic pain, and also accelerate the healing of tissue that may be damaged or injured. During electric muscle stimulation, your chiropractor or therapist will attach neurostimulation electrodes to the muscle group or area of the body that needs attention. Wires connected to the electrodes run a machine that controls the length of time and intensity of the electric current.

Patients may feel a number of sensations, including muscle contracting or twitching, the feeling of pins and needles, or a light tingling sensation. Most often, these feelings only last during treatment, however, some patients have experienced them up to 30 minutes after their visit.

Vibration therapy

Vibration therapy is when your chiropractor or therapist has patients stand on a machine with a vibration platform, also known as Power Plate Equipment. As the vibrations from the power plate transfer through your body, waves of energy activate muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second. Your muscles naturally contract at a similar rate as if you were doing an intense workout and, in turn, strengthening the muscle.
