This is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing. With this therapy, tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where these waves intersect below the surface of the skin, a low-frequency stimulation is created. This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural killers to help relieve pain.

Most patients find this therapy to be extremely beneficial and describe the treatment as a faint tingling sensation. It is most often used for pain relief and to aid in reducing the swelling of soft tissues. Ligament sprains, muscle strains, an spasms often respond to this treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase blood circulation. This therapy releases the body's natural pain killers and accelerates the healing process.

Electro Muscle Stimulation

This therapy is a special form of electrical current that is administered at the site of soft tissue injury, especially muscles, for the relief of pain. Small amounts of electrical current are induced into the tissues for the purpose of reducing swelling. This widely used technique safely strengthens muscles and reduces painful symptoms.

Patients generally feel a slight tingling sensation at first. Since your body may become accustomed to the initial setting, the intensity may be raised during the course of your 10-20 minute treatment for maximum healing effect. 

This form of therapy has been proven an effective form of pain relief. It is recommended in cases involving swelling and inflammation. It promotes general muscle tone and speeds the healing process.

Ultrasound

Obviously the number of treatments vary with different conditions and individuals. Chronic problems generally require more treatment than acute ones. Some patients notice an immediate improvement after the first treatment, whereas others may not notice any effect until the seventh or eighth visit. It's been shown that a certain percentage of patients receive maximum benefit up to three months following a course of therapy.  

A small number of patients will experience a worsening of symptoms, as the body's energies are returning to normal. This is usual and no need for alarm. It is followed by improvement. Researchers internationally agree the usual number of treatments is between eight and sixteen. The usual frequency is between two and four times a week.
