Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Applying tiny electrical pulses to specific areas of your body controls pain, increases blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces muscle spasm, relaxes or stimulates the nervous system and aids in the healing process. These special electrical signals release enkephalin and endorphin, two natural pain relievers.

Electrical muscle stimulation is generally recommended in cases where pain is accompanied by swelling and inflammation. Ligament sprains, muscle strains and spasms often respond to this treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase blood circulation. Our office offers a variety of different types of electrical muscle stimulation treatments.

Dr. Carradine Asks some important questions of interest to Boardman residents - Chiropractor Boardman Dr. Carradine Asks...

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Boardman folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
