How it works
Inside a electromuscular stimulation session.
Place the pads
Skin-safe adhesive electrodes are placed on either side of the target muscle or nerve pathway.
Set the mode
Depending on the goal we choose sensory-level (TENS for pain) or motor-level (EMS for muscle activation) settings.
Modulate signals
The current interrupts pain-signal transmission and drives fresh blood into the treatment area.
Retest and layer
We reassess range of motion and pair the session with adjusting, stretching, or manual soft-tissue work.

How far is Aligned Health from Irvine for electromuscular stimulation?
Aligned Health is about 20 minutes from Irvine via I-5 / I-405 / CA-133 interchange (the “Orange Crush”). Most Irvine patients treat it as a normal part of their week, not a special trip.

TENS uses sensory-level current to interrupt pain signals. EMS uses motor-level current to actually contract the muscle. We use whichever fits your goal that day.
