Electrotherapy

• Targeted Relief.

• Faster Healing.

• Stronger Recovery.

​

At Spine Time Chiropractic, we offer Electrotherapy—a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, relieve pain, and support tissue healing. This technique mimics the body's natural muscle movements, making it ideal for injury recovery, chronic pain management, and restoring healthy function to weakened or imbalanced muscles.

​

Whether you're healing from an injury, dealing with muscle weakness, or looking to improve your overall mobility, electrotherapy offers powerful results with zero downtime.

​

What Is Electrotherapy?

​

Electrotherapy works by delivering low-frequency electrical currents to targeted areas through small adhesive electrodes placed on the skin. These currents trigger the muscles to contract in a rhythmic, controlled way—just like your nervous system naturally would during movement or exercise.​

 

Electromuscle stimulation aims to:

• Improves blood flow

• Encourages natural healing

• Re-trains weak or injured muscles to fire correctly

• Reduces pain by blocking pain signals and releasing endorphins

​

It’s an effective therapy on its own or combined with chiropractic adjustments, rehab, or soft tissue work for optimal recovery.

​

Benefits for Musculoskeletal Health

​

Electrotherapy is widely used by chiropractors, physical therapists, and sports rehab specialists to accelerate recovery and restore function. Here’s how it supports the musculoskeletal system:

​

✅ Relieves Pain & Muscle Spasms

• Blocks pain signals at the nerve level

• Relaxes overactive muscles

• Reduces muscle guarding after injury

​

✅ Improves Range of Motion

• Loosens stiff joints and muscles

• Encourages more natural movement

• Supports long-term flexibility

​

✅ Rebuilds Muscle Strength

• Helps prevent disuse atrophy

• Stimulates proper contraction in weakened muscles

• Re-educates muscles post-injury or surgery

​

✅ Enhances Circulation & Healing

• Boosts blood flow to tissues

• Delivers oxygen and nutrients to damaged areas

• Speeds up cellular repair processes

​

✅ Supports Nervous System Function

• Retrains neuromuscular pathways

• Improves coordination and motor control

• Helps restore natural muscle timing and activation

​

Who Can Benefit from Electrotherapy?

​

Electrotherapy is gentle, customizable, and effective for a wide range of individuals, including:

• Athletes recovering from muscle strains or overuse

• Patients with chronic pain in the back, neck, or joints

• Post-surgical patients needing muscle re-education

• Office workers with tension, weakness, or reduced mobility

• Auto accident victims experiencing muscular imbalance or spasm

​

It’s especially valuable when movement is limited due to pain, surgery, or injury, helping to keep muscles engaged and prevent long-term weakness.
