Here at Carteret & Edison Comprehensive Medical Care electrical muscle stimulation is a therapeutic modality that is used in pain management and physical therapy protocols for rehabilitation. The average treatment time is 10 to 15 minutes.

It is used by our physical therapists to treat tendons and ligaments as well as muscles, deep joints and nerves. It has been clinically proven to increase muscle tone, blood flow and lymphatic flow as well. It stimulates endorphin release and enkephalin production giving patients a sense of pain relief and better healing of the painful area.

It is a useful adjunct when treating the following conditions: bursitis, capsulitis, disc syndromes, neck and back pain, edema (swelling), facet syndrome, frozen shoulder, heel spur, low back pain (lumbago), migraine, myalgia, neuroma, osteoarthritis, sciatica, shingles, trigger points, muscle spasm, strains and sprains, stiffness, tendonitis, and TMJ dysfunction. (This is not a complete list of indications). It is a painless procedure and many patients report they experience a pleasant sensation during and after treatment.
