Henderson Electric Muscle Stimulation

Pain relievers are everywhere in today's fast-paced society. Sometimes it's simpler to mask Henderson chiropractic pain through medicine than pay a visit to the doctor. The disadvantage to this approach is clear; after time, the body becomes increasingly tolerant to medicine, and more pills will be needed in order to attain similar results.

At The Neck & Back Clinics, Dr Benjamin Lurie DC, uses Henderson Electric Muscle Stimulation to encourage the body's own, innate ability to self-heal and regenerate. This technique copies the low-frequency electrical impulses of the body; this mimicry stimulates muscle activity and encourages the nervous system to activate. This way, patients can find relief from their chiropractic pain and discomfort without unnecessary dependence upon medicine; for this reason alone, Electric Muscle Stimulation in Henderson is effective.

Henderson Electric Muscle Stimulation is a simple, easy-to-use technique. Dr. Lurie will apply the electrodes directly to the patient's skin, to the location most proximate to the underlying injury. It is possible that two electrodes will be used for the same injury; if this is the case, one electrode will be placed on the injury itself, and the other will be on its periphery. The electrical impulses are generated by a machine, which sends the currents through the electrodes and into your muscle. This causes blood flow to increase and the muscles to contract. The result? Muscle is encouraged to rapidly form, which naturally assists in healing. Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Henderson reduces the chances for a long-term recovery.

Increased mobility and normal joint functionality are some of the main benefits that patients report after using Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Henderson. There are, of course, side effects during Henderson Electric Muscle Stimulation, but these are few and far between. If anything, some patients have reported short-term inflammation where the electrodes are placed, skin irritation, and tenderness.

Please be certain to discuss your present health condition(s) with Dr. Lurie; this will assist in Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Henderson. If you are pregnant, use a pacemaker, or have certain pre-existing conditions, some electrical currents can be harmful. If any of the aforementioned categories pertain to you, please do not use Electrical Muscle Stimulation.
