Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Beaumont

We offer advanced Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) to help you achieve optimal muscle function and recovery. This innovative therapy stimulates muscles through electrical impulses, aiding in rehabilitation and enhancing physical performance.

What is Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)?

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to evoke muscle contractions. Electrodes placed on the skin deliver these impulses, targeting specific muscles or muscle groups. The goal is to enhance muscle strength, improve circulation, and accelerate recovery from injury or surgery.

Benefits of NMES

1. Muscle Strengthening: NMES helps to increase muscle strength and endurance, particularly useful for patients recovering from injury, surgery, or those experiencing muscle weakness due to chronic conditions.
2. Pain Relief: By stimulating muscle contractions, NMES can reduce muscle pain and discomfort, offering a non-invasive alternative to medication.
3. Improved Circulation: Electrical impulses enhance blood flow to the targeted area, which can promote faster healing and reduce swelling.
4. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation programs often use NMES to help patients regain muscle function and mobility after injuries or surgeries.
5. Prevention of Muscle Atrophy: For individuals who are unable to move certain muscle groups due to injury or immobilization, NMES helps prevent muscle atrophy by maintaining muscle activity.

How NMES Works

During an NMES session, we place electrodes on the skin over the target muscles. The device then delivers controlled electrical impulses that stimulate the muscles to contract. The therapist adjusts the intensity, duration, and frequency of the impulses based on the specific needs of the patient and the goals of the therapy.

What to Expect During a Session

1. Assessment: Our skilled physiotherapists will perform a thorough assessment to determine the most effective NMES treatment plan for your needs.
2. Preparation: Electrodes placed on the skin target the desired muscles at specific locations. The technicians clean the area to ensure proper electrode adhesion.
3. Stimulation: The NMES device activates, causing muscle contractions through mild electrical impulses. Most people find the sensation well-tolerated and not painful.
4. Post-Treatment: After the session, you may experience slight muscle soreness, similar to what you might feel after exercise. This is normal and usually subsides quickly.
