What is NMES? Benefits of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Explained

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is an advanced therapeutic technique used to stimulate muscle contractions through controlled electrical impulses. At Health First Chiropractic in Santa Teresa, NM, we use NMES to aid in muscle re-education, recovery, and pain management.

This therapy activates specific muscle groups by mimicking natural nerve signals, making it ideal for patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or neurological conditions. By enhancing circulation, improving muscle tone, and reducing muscle atrophy, NMES helps restore strength, function, and mobility. It’s a safe, non-invasive solution that supports faster healing and long-term results—especially when integrated with chiropractic care and other rehab services.

Benefits of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) Therapy

Pain Relief and Management

NMES therapy reduces pain by blocking pain signals and promoting healing.

Improved Muscle Function

How NMES and Electric Stimulation Therapy Improve Recovery & Mobility

Our integrated therapy programs combine NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) with electric stimulation therapy to target the root causes of pain and muscle dysfunction. These non-invasive treatments are designed to:

Reduce Pain: NMES interrupts pain signals sent to the brain, offering relief from both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Rebuild Muscle Strength: Electrical stimulation activates dormant muscle fibers to enhance strength and endurance.
Improve Circulation: Enhanced blood flow aids in tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates overall healing.
Restore Movement: NMES supports neuromuscular coordination, helping you regain mobility and prevent further injury.
