Yesterdayís blog I introduced electrical stimulation therapy to you, but today we will get more in depth about the different Top Sugar Land Chiropractors stimulations there are and the risks. I feel like everyone who gets into something especially medically related want to know more about it and their risk. First stimulation we will talk about is transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation also known as TENS. It is a physical therapy treatment that can be used to manage short and long term pain. This treatment is not always used but can definitely be mentioned or talked about with your chiropractor. This may help decrease your pain by applying electrodes to the area of the body where you feel pain. The intensity of the electricity will be Top Sugar Land Chiropractors adjusted o the pain to block those pain signals from traveling from the body to the brain. The second type of electrical stimulation is iontophoresis. This therapy helps to provide you with medication. The electrical current actually pushes medication in through the skin and into the body. I found this one fascinating because I did not know something like this existed. But if you go to a chiropractor who does use medication for you this is so it can help decrease inflammation or muscle spasms. There are different medications with iontophoresis. For example, there can be a medication that can be used through the iontophoresis to break up calcium deposits. You normally see calcium deposits in conditions like shoulder calcific tendonitis. This is not the only medicine. There is plenty of more but as you can see there are different medicines that can be used to Top Sugar Land Chiropractors achieve different goals when using iontophoresis. The third stimulation will be neuromuscular electrical stimulation also known as NMES. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation will us an electrical current to get a single muscle or group of muscles to contract. How? The chiropractor will do that by placing electrodes on the skin in carious locations. This will activate the appropriate muscle fibers. When the muscle is contracted through electrical stimulation it will help improve the way the affected muscle contracts. The chiropractor is able to change the current setting, and this allows for either a forceful or gentle muscle contraction. It also helps with increasing muscle function which is a good thing. Another good thing is with the contraction of the muscle this promotes blood flow to the area. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation helps with decreasing muscular spasms by tiring out the Top Sugar Land Chiropractors muscle that is in spasm. Which allows it to relax. This is the best feeling! Last stimulation I will talk about is high voltage galvanic current also known as HVGC. This uses high voltage and low frequency electricity to penetrate deep into the tissues. This will relieve any pain or muscle spasm. But helps to improve blood flow and improve joint mobility. Next blog will get more into the risks of electrical stimulation, so stay in the look out for it.
