Electro Muscle Stimulation Therapy in Rhode Island
Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical pulses to stimulate muscle contractions, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote faster muscle recovery. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer EMS as part of our non-invasive treatment options for patients suffering from musculoskeletal discomfort, muscle tension, and soft tissue injuries. This advanced therapy helps relieve pain, improve circulation, and enhance muscle function, allowing you to recover more comfortably and quickly.
Conditions Treated with Electro Muscle Stimulation
Electro Muscle Stimulation is highly effective for various conditions, including:
- Muscle Strains and Sprains: Relieves muscle tension and pain, allowing for faster injury recovery.
- Back and Neck Pain: Reduces inflammation and relieves pain associated with chronic and acute conditions.
- Arthritis and Joint Pain: Provides targeted relief for pain and joint stiffness.
- Nerve Pain: Stimulating surrounding muscles helps reduce pain from nerve-related conditions.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Promotes muscle relaxation and circulation, which can benefit recovery from surgery.
How Electro Muscle Stimulation Works
EMS uses a device that delivers controlled electrical pulses to the affected muscle groups. These pulses mimic natural nerve signals, causing the muscles to contract and relax. This process helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve blood flow to the area, facilitating faster healing. EMS also promotes the release of endorphins, natural painkillers that help reduce discomfort.
Benefits of Electro Muscle Stimulation
Electro Muscle Stimulation offers numerous benefits for patients dealing with muscle pain and tension, including:
- Effective Pain Relief: EMS reduces pain by relaxing tense muscles and alleviating inflammation.
- Enhanced Muscle Recovery: Stimulates muscle fibers, promoting faster healing and reducing recovery time.
- Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: EMS provides a safe alternative to medications and invasive procedures.
- Improved Blood Flow: Increased circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, aiding recovery and reducing soreness.
What to Expect During Electro-Muscle Stimulation Therapy
During an EMS session, electrodes are placed on the skin over the targeted muscle areas. The EMS device then delivers controlled electrical pulses that cause the muscles to contract and relax in intervals. Most patients find EMS sessions comfortable, with a mild tingling sensation during the treatment. Each session typically lasts 10-20 minutes, depending on the treatment area and individual needs.

Nice office: furniture like someone’s living room! Very clean and no dust anywhere.
Courteous staff. Dr Annie G was also very cordial and open for questions and did a thorough job of questioning me about details of reason for my visit.
This was followed by a careful exam of my back by deep palpation and then a minor adjustment of my L hip.
The visit concluded with an EMG (electric pads treatment) of my upper shoulders by her medical assistant for 10 minutes which was a bit surreal because it felt like a massage but no one was pressing anything. It felt very good basically once I got used to it.
Doctor Annie G took a moment to say goodbye and her receptionist said they were faxing her recommendations for X-rays to my primary care MD so the price of these X-rays would be covered by my insurance. Thoughtful.
I was billed $50 for first visit since it was not covered by my insurance or Medicare.
My primary insurance is Tri-care since I’m retired military and I was disappointed it was not accepted. When I looked into it, it would not have covered a first visit anyway though.
I guess I will just have to see how my secondary insurer Medicare handles these visits.
But otherwise, I was highly satisfied and I want to continue my care here.

So it’s been 2 months of treatment now. I am now down to every 2 weeks. The problems with my neck are much improved. My lower back still bothers me but it isn’t every day any more and overall it’s improved so I can walk more comfortably. I am continuing my visits and although the doctor urged me to come in anytime I was having a bad day and she would squeeze me in! This has not been necessary but I appreciated her telling me that.
Medicare is covering my visits except for a small Co-pay. I continue to highly recommend Decrecenso Chiropractic and Dr Annie G and her assistants and staff to anyone who has pain issues with their neck or lower back similar to mine.
