Mesa Electrical Stimulation Therapy
What Is Electrical Stimulation Therapy?
Electrical stimulation therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscles. It is useful for pain management and can address several conditions, such as muscle weakness and atrophy.
At Cocio Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractor employs electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). This can help those dealing with injuries and chronic pain from car accidents, repeated use injuries, degenerative conditions, and more.
If you are looking for a provider offering electrical stimulation therapy in Mesa, reach out to arrange a consultation. During this first meeting, we will listen to your story, get essential health history information, and make treatment recommendations.
To start with us, call (480) 999-9508 or contact us online. From our Mesa office, we serve Gilbert, Apache Junction, and the surrounding areas.
How We Use Electrical Stimulation Therapy
We employ EMS therapy in two primary ways:
Pain management:
- EMS can effectively reduce the pain associated with accident injuries and surgery recovery. Often, we use EMS in conjunction with moist heat/cryotherapy.
Muscle strengthening:
- EMS can activate and strengthen specific muscle groups. This makes it useful during rehabilitation therapies for muscles that have been damaged or weakened.
Is Electrical Stimulation Therapy Safe?
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved electronic muscle stimulators for prescribed medical treatments. When performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor like ours at Cocio Chiropractic, you should not have concerns about the safety of EMS therapy.
However, EMS therapy could be dangerous if you have a pacemaker or another similar device.

What to Expect from Electrical Stimulation Therapy
We start by assessing whether this therapy option is right for your situation. The decision depends on your condition, medical history, and recovery goals.
To begin, we place small electrodes on your skin. The electrodes feature small adhesive pads that come off easily after treatment.
Wires connected to the electrodes deliver small electrical currents to the treatment area. Depending on the therapy’s goals, these currents may cause muscles to contract or block nerve signals.
The therapy can last between five minutes to about half an hour.
Does Electrical Stimulation Therapy Hurt?
You should not feel any pain or discomfort during treatment. You may feel some fatigue in treatment areas, specifically for care aimed at rehabilitating weak muscle groups.
