It's a fact that exercise is good for you. Whether you're biking, walking or playing tennis, your movements are a carefully choreographed series of muscular contractions. Each contraction begins as an electrical impulse generated by your body. Only through repeated motion do your muscles stay strong and healthy. When injury sets in, muscles become stationary.
Fluid builds up between the cells and they begin to lose their strength.
NMS therapy remedies this by using low-voltages to stimulate motor nerves to cause involuntary muscular contractions. Like exercise, NMS helps to strengthen the injured area and has been found to effectively treat a variety of musculoskeletal and vascular conditions. Common candidates for NMS therapy are patients recovering from orthopedic surgery, muscle strains or tears, or athletes who've undergone cartilage or tendon repair. Pulsed direct current devices remove excess fluid and increase blood flow to the injured site to encourage rehabilitation. Placing a positive electrode over the injured site within the first 24-48 hours helps prevent the buildup of excess fluid.
