Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)


Nowadays there are many different treatments help alleviate aches, pains, and injuries of the body. One such treatment is called Electrical Muscle Stimulation. EMS involves special technology to help reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time. We at Kosak Chiropractic are committed to offering our patients different treatments and technologies to help them feel their best, which is why we are proud to offer EMS in the Fairfield area. 




EMS works great for muscle spasms, soft tissue injuries, and athletes who are looking for a quicker workout recovery time. EMS is popularly used on the back and neck muscles, and has been successful in relieving acute and chronic pain. EMS is a simple treatment that only takes a few minutes to perform. Electrodes are placed on the affected area and an electrical current is transmitted into the soft tissue or muscle. The strength of the current depends on the type of injury, its location, and how deep the therapy is going to be. The muscles experience small but quick contractions, which may make the patient feel a prickly or tingling sensation.




EMS is a great option for patients suffering from:




- Arthritis


- Nerve inflammation


- Cancer-related pain


- Dysphagia


- Fibromyalgia


- Muscle injury from trauma


- Back pain


- Spinal cord injury


- Stroke recovery


- Muscle injury from disease


- Urinary incontinence

- Surgery recovery
