Recovering from surgery or a significant injury is often a long, frustrating process. While rest is crucial during the initial healing phase, prolonged inactivity inevitably leads to muscle atrophy, weakness, and joint instability. The challenge of rehabilitation is finding a way to rebuild that lost muscle strength without placing dangerous stress on the healing surgical site or vulnerable joints.
At Phelts Chiropractic PC, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. utilizes advanced medical technology to solve this exact problem. EMSCULPT NEO is not just for aesthetic body contouring; it is a powerful, FDA-approved tool for pain management and an incredibly effective modality for post-surgical and injury rehabilitation.
How EMSCULPT NEO Aids in Rehabilitation
Traditional physical therapy requires voluntary muscle exertion and joint loading. If you are recovering from a back injury, abdominal surgery, or a joint procedure, lifting weights or performing bodyweight exercises can risk re-injury.
EMSCULPT NEO bypasses this limitation by using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy combined with synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) heating. The device safely induces supramaximal muscle contractions directly at the treatment site. This means the muscle is doing 100% of the work while the surrounding joints and ligaments remain completely stationary and unburdened.
Research studies show that this technology is highly helpful for surgical and injury recovery. By forcing these deep, involuntary contractions, EMSCULPT NEO prevents muscle atrophy, accelerates tissue healing through increased blood flow, and quickly restores the muscular strength needed to stabilize your skeletal system. In fact, on average, the combined HIFEM and RF technology produces a 25% increase in muscle mass and a 30% reduction in fat, which radically transforms the structural support of the body.
The Phelts Chiropractic PC Difference: Integrating Applied Kinesiology
Building raw muscle is only half the battle in rehabilitation; that muscle also needs to function neurologically in harmony with the rest of your body.
At Phelts Chiropractic PC, we add Applied Kinesiology treatments to EMSCULPT NEO. Applied Kinesiology uses muscle testing to determine if a muscle has too little or too much tone and their ability to stabilize the spine. It also corrects muscle imbalances that can cause low back and joint dysfunction and pain. This ensures that muscles with abnormal tone are reset to a normal tone and activated for better results.
Comprehensive Care: EMFACE and EMSELLA
Our holistic approach to health means we offer a full spectrum of restorative treatments to ensure every part of your body functions optimally.
EMFACE: Restoring Facial Structure and Relieving TMJ
We offer EMFACE, a revolutionary needle-free procedure that lifts the face, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin texture using HIFES and RF technology. Clinical studies show: 37% Less Wrinkles. 23% More Lift. 64% reduction of dark circles. 28% reduction of crow's feet. 1.4 ml puffiness volume reduction. 25% skin evenness improvement. 95% patient satisfaction. 36% Double-Chin Reduction. Additionally, EMFACE is FDA cleared for the treatment of TMJ, making it a highly effective tool for relieving chronic jaw pain and tension.
EMSELLA: Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
We also offer the EMSELLA chair. EMSELLA is FDA approved for the treatment of urinary incontinence. It treats men with erectile dysfunction and women who want to improve vaginal tightness, lubrication, satiffaction, and comfort.
When discussing the value of EMSELLA treatments vs doing Kegels, it is important to understand the mechanics: There is no resistance or load when doing Kegels. Research shows that strengthening muscles, including pelvic floor muscles, requires resistance exercise. As resistance increases, more muscle fibers are recruited, which results in stronger muscles. Kegels improve strength minimally, because there is no progressive resistance and only a few muscle fibers are recruited and they fire minimally.
EMSELLA stimulates all muscle fibers to contract maximally for maximum strengthening. The increase in muscle also causes the body to create more blood vessels in the area via a process called angiogenesis, which in turn further increases blood flow to the area for firmer erections in men and better arousal and lubrication in women.
