Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)

Releases endorphins

At various frequencies, TENS will promote the release of endorphins into the bloodstream. These are your body's natural pain killers. Studies have shown that there is a noticeable reduction in pain over 30-45 minutes that will last up to four hours after the device is turned off. This creates a short-term pain solution while our massage and recovery programs work to create a long-term solution that in some cases can relieve pain all together.

Reduces inflammation and increases blood flow

The Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technology creates an electro-induced hyper fusion that may help to wash out and clear away cellular debris thereby decreasing pain. The utilization of TENS has also displayed a significant impact in decreasing pain associated with Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and reducing markers of inflammation. In addition, this extra supply of oxygen rich blood provides the tissue with the necessary nutrients to improve recovery.

Re-educates muscle

NMES has the capacity to further enhance strength and muscular adaptations. When atrophy is present, the device will manually activate the muscles which re-educate the neural pathways allowing them to start firing on their own again. This is a great way to accelerate the rehab process and reduce downtime.

Relieves acute pain

E-Stimulation works on what is called Gate Theory. This scientifically tested theory explains that non-painful input (or nerve stimulation) closes the nerve "gates" to painful input. This prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system temporarily relieving pain for a period of time after use.
