Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation, when applied, is a method of passive exercise. When muscles are injured they should not be exercised actively or they can be re-injured or damaged further. Electrical muscle stimulation will stimulate the muscles involuntarily while they are at rest, thereby avoiding injury to the muscle yet exercising them, because injured muscles absolutely need exercise. Electrical muscle stimulation also, when applied in a surge pattern, can physically cause lymph nodes to work more efficiently and can pump lymph nodes, thereby draining any damaged tissues in the area through the lymphatic drainage system. Electrical muscle stimulation often comes with positive or negative polarities which can either attract or repel blood ions thereby flushing out the damaged tissues bringing fresh blood supply into the area. Electrical muscle stimulation can also break reflex patterns that run from the brain to the muscle of injury and produce pain. By breaking reflex patterns by electrical stimulation you can either reduce pain or reduce spasm.
