Electrical Muscle Stimulation is an internationally accepted and proven
way of treating muscular injuries. It works by sending electronic
pulses to the muscle needing treatment; this causes the muscle to
exercise passively.
It is a product derived from the square waveform, originally invented
by John Faraday in 1831. Through the square wave pattern it is able
to work directly on muscle motor neurons.
The LG-7500 is being used internationally in
hospitals and sports clinics for the treatment of muscular injuries
and for the re-education of paralyzed muscles, to prevent atrophy in
affected muscles and improving muscle tone and blood circulation.
Benefits of Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) include:1. Relaxation of muscle spasms
2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
3. Increasing local blood circulation
4. Muscle re-education
5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent
venous thrombosis
6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion
How does Muscular Stimulator work? The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that
stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. Because the stimulation of nerves and muscles may be accomplished by electrical pulses this modality can help prevent disuse atrophy. Accordingly, incapacitated patients can receive therapeutic treatment to create involuntary muscle contractions thereby improving and maintaining muscle tone without actual physical activity. An EMS Muscle Stimulator is an easy to use device. A marvel of miniaturized electronics the lightweight power unit transmits electrical pulses through the skin surface and stimulates motor units (nerve and muscles). The electrical impulses are "ramped" so that they closely emulate natural muscle contractions.
EMS is helpful in conditions where the reduction of physiological range of motion is due to or the result of fractures with consequent immobilization, operative intervention, or arthroscopy, in shoulders, knees, and backs.
EMS units are used to treat a number of medical conditions that require muscle stimulation. The most common are: long-term disuse after fracture or prolonged bed rest, progressive strengthening for join and muscle injury, immoblized limbs, atrophy prevention , stress incontinence, muscle weakness, improving muscle tone, after weight loss or childbirth, muscle spasticity following a stroke, prevent or retard disuse atrophy, strengthening programs, re-educate muscles, postop orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, gait training, shoulder subluxation and reduction of muscle spasms.The LG-7500 Digital Dual Channel Electric Muscle Stimulator delivers various benefits including:
1. Relief from Pain (joint pains, muscle aches) and stress. Increase in circulation and blood flow
2. Muscle Strengthening, Toning, and an overall enhanced Physical Therapy Training Program.
Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS) Stimulate, Re-educate, Massage, and Build Muscle. Electronic Muscle Stimulation is basically done by stimulating some areas of the body. For this purpose, an electronic stimulation device is used - electrode pads are placed directly on the body
area(s) that need to be stimulated. By dialing the voltage, you can pick different pressure on the muscles, that create various medical and cosmetic effects.
The low voltage is usually done on smaller, involuntary muscle groups, which cannot be stimulated in other ways. The low voltage also stimulates the brain, which starts sending impulses through the involuntary muscles, thus stimulating them as well.
Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS) are used for both medical treatment and cosmetic purposes (conditioning and toning). Medical conditions treated by Muscle Stimulation include:
Muscle Spasms, Long-term Disuse after Fracture or Prolonged Bed Rest, Strengthening for Joint or Muscle Injury, Immobilized Limbs, Atrophy Prevention, Bell's Palsy, Stress Incontinence, Muscle Weakness, Improving Muscle Tone, Muscle Spasticity following a Stroke, and Personal Fitness Training.Simply Place the Re-usable Electrode Pads on the muscle area that you wish to stimulate and receive immediate relief and physical conditioning. Why use expensive medications with side effects when a more cost-effective, drug free solution exists?
Recap Benefits of Muscle Stimulators Include:
- Relaxation of Muscle Spasms
- Increasing Local Blood Circulation
- Maintaining or Increasing Range of Motion
- Muscle Re-education
- Prevention or Retardation of Disuse Atrophy
- Immediate Post-Surgical Stimulation of Calf Muscle to Prevent Venous Thrombosis
Muscle Stimulation works by stimulating muscles by means of tiny electric impulses. These impulses travel to the body from the EMS Unit with electrode pads (included) which are attached to the body. Timers on the EMS machine rhythmically contract and relax the muscles, allowing you to work or tone muscles.

Finally check out our Additional Pain Relief units, such as the LG-US1 Portable Home Ultrasound Unit. Ultrasound Units help speed the healing process by reducing inflammation and swelling. The LG-US1 Ultrasound Unit and LG-7500 Muscle Stimulator make for excellent combination therapy. Many of our customers like to utilize both.
Optional Items you may wish to order with the unit are the
1) Electrode Preparation Spray which prolongs the life of the electrodes (pays for itself) by hydrating the electrode pad as well as removing body oil which erodes the electrode pads.
2) Battery and Recharger which is an excellent option which is a 9 volt battery and charger which will save you money in the long run. You will not have to buy more 9 volt batteries that can get expensive.
3) Extra Electrode Pads The unit comes with 4 Electrode Pads that last 20-30 times. At some point you will need additional electrodes so be sure to purchase some extras today!
