Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Coral Springs & Parkland

Calm muscle spasm, quiet pain and wake up weak or guarded muscles — with gentle, drug-free electrical pulses delivered right where you need them. A comfortable add-on to chiropractic and physical therapy.

Electrical muscle stimulation at The Spine and Wellness Center uses gentle electrical pulses to relax muscle spasm, ease pain and coax tight or weakened muscles back into action — comfortably and without medication. We've served Coral Springs and Parkland since 2005.

Medically reviewed by Dr. Jared Cohen, DC · Updated June 2026

When a muscle is injured, overworked or guarding a painful joint, it can lock into spasm or simply stop firing the way it should. Electrical muscle stimulation places soft electrode pads over the area and delivers a controlled, low-level current that produces small, rhythmic contractions. Those gentle pulses help break the spasm-pain cycle, encourage local circulation and remind a weak or inhibited muscle how to switch back on — all of which makes the hands-on chiropractic and rehab work that follows more effective.

The Benefits of Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Relaxes Muscle Spasm

Helps tight, guarding muscles let go and settle.

Drug-Free Pain Relief

Eases discomfort without medication or needles.

Reactivates Weak Muscles

Prompts inhibited muscles to fire and rebuild.

Comfortable & Quick

A relaxing 10–15 minute session with no downtime.

What Electrical Muscle Stimulation Helps

  • Muscle spasm and tightness
  • Pain in the back, neck and extremities
  • Weak or inhibited muscles
  • Poor local circulation
  • Post-injury deconditioning
  • Stubborn tension that limits hands-on care

What to Expect

We'll place soft adhesive pads over the muscles we're treating and slowly bring up a low-level current until you feel a comfortable tingling or gentle pulsing. You stay relaxed while the muscles contract and release in rhythm — most sessions run about 10 to 15 minutes. EMS is usually one part of a visit that also includes chiropractic adjustment or physical therapy, and we'll adjust the settings and timing to fit how your muscles respond.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation FAQ

Questions, Answered

What is electrical muscle stimulation (EMS / E-Stim)?
Electrical muscle stimulation is a therapy that sends gentle, low-level electrical pulses through pads placed on the skin. The pulses create small, rhythmic muscle contractions that can help relax tight muscles, ease pain and prompt weak or inhibited muscles to fire again. It is non-invasive and drug-free.
What does EMS therapy help with?
We commonly use EMS to calm muscle spasm, reduce pain, reactivate weak or inhibited muscles, support local circulation and help patients recover from post-injury deconditioning. It is most often used alongside chiropractic care and physical therapy rather than on its own.
Does electrical muscle stimulation hurt?
No. Most patients describe it as a comfortable tingling or a gentle pulsing sensation. We start low and adjust the intensity to your comfort, so the session should feel relaxing — never sharp or painful. There are no needles and no downtime.
How long is an EMS session and how many will I need?
A typical EMS session lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and is usually combined with other therapies during your visit. The number of sessions depends on your condition and how your muscles respond; we'll outline a plan after evaluating you.
Is EMS therapy available near Parkland and Boca Raton?
Yes. Our Coral Springs office on Coral Ridge Drive is minutes from Parkland, Coconut Creek, Margate and Boca Raton, so patients across South Florida can add EMS to their care plan with us.
Is electrical muscle stimulation covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. We accept most major medical insurance and will verify your benefits before you begin. Call (954) 341-2256 to check your coverage.
