Electromuscular Stimulation in Tustin, CA

Electromuscular Stimulation is one of 14 modalities we offer patients from Tustin. The office sits about 25 minutes from Tustin via I-5 / CA-55 interchange, close enough for Old Town Tustin Historic District residents to build it into a real care plan.

How it works

Inside a electromuscular stimulation session.

01

Place the pads

Skin-safe adhesive electrodes are placed on either side of the target muscle or nerve pathway.

02

Set the mode

Depending on the goal we choose sensory-level (TENS for pain) or motor-level (EMS for muscle activation) settings.

03

Modulate signals

The current interrupts pain-signal transmission and drives fresh blood into the treatment area.

04

Retest and layer

We reassess range of motion and pair the session with adjusting, stretching, or manual soft-tissue work.
