Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices that Dr. Darlene Holland, D.C. of Central Virginia Chiropractic Center, Inc. utilizes have been advertised to increase muscle strength, to decrease body weight and body fat, and to improve muscle firmness and tone in healthy individuals. If you’ve been diagnosed with a condition that affects specific muscle groups, electrical muscle stimulation is an excellent way to manage pain.
Electronic muscle stimulation works by transmitting an electric current through the skin into the muscles and nerves. When the electrodes are placed on the skin, the device will contract once it reaches a certain level. The higher the level, the more the muscle group will contract. The muscle contractions caused by the device will have the same effect on your muscles as exercise has. Dr. Darlene Holland may use this equipment for patients who require muscle re-education, relaxation of muscle spasms, increased range of motion, prevention of muscle atrophy, and for treating other medical conditions which usually result from a stroke, serious injury, or major surgery.
