The EMS 5000 uses electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles.  It produces "passive" exercise by sending electrical impulses or signals to the selected muscle or muscle groups to contract and relax them.  The E.M.S. can relax a "tense", "tight" or spasmodic muscle.  Common candidates for EMS include those in high stress situations who experience muscle tension in the upper back and neck areas, and those who suffer from chronic tension headaches.  The EMS can increase motion, range and response of muscles restricted from disuse or from atrophy from another cause.  It is helpful following activity restrictions, such as after surgery or being in a cast.  It is also helpful at increasing local blood circulation.  This is a dual channel unit, which allows you to use up to four electrodes at a time (two electrodes per channel).  The EMS is portable and may be clipped to a belt, shirt pocket, bra or other clothing. $89

All of our EMS are shipped complete with:  Instruction manual, lead wires, four reusable electrodes, battery and a carrying case.  You will receive the EMS within five business days of placing the order (usually before) if you are located in the U.S.A.  If you need the package next day or 2nd day, please call us and we will Guarantee that delivery.   We can ship internationally.  However, rates and time of arrival will vary with destination.  Please fax your prescription to (877) 512-3015.

 EMS 5000 Testimonial

Muscle Stimulation is also referred to as NMES or EMS and is useful for rehabilitation of muscles following injury or stroke. The device is technically similar to TENS but is powerful enough to achieve a strong muscle contraction. The stimulation phases on-and-off to mimic conventional exercise and thus will cause strengthening of the muscle fibers and increases in "tone".  Indications for the EMS are:
  1. Relaxation of muscle spasm
  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 the EMS work?

Using EMS, the brain sends a nerve impulse to the "motor point" of your muscle.  This signal is a message to the muscles to expand and contract.  Electrodes are placed over the motor points of the muscle group to be exercised.  When the stimulation is applied through the pads, the signal finds it way to these motor points and causes the muscle to expand and contract.  This makes it possible to duplicate conventional exercise.

During an exercise, your brain sends a message down the spinal cord through the nerves with all the muscles you're using that causes them to relax and contract.  This is called voluntary muscle action.  Your brain is controlling the muscle.  

Electrical muscle stimulation uses an outside electrical source that stimulates the nerves to send signals to your muscle to expand and contract.  This is done by sending electrical current through self adhesive electrodes placed over the muscle.  The current passes through your skin to the nerves in that area, causing the muscle to expand and contract. 

Studies have shown that EMS stimulates large nerve axons (long outgrowths of a nerve cell body), some of which you cannot stimulate voluntarily.  It is possible that EMS might allow for additional muscle hypertrophy (increased development of tissue by enlargement, without multiplication of cells).

EMS can increase muscle hypertrophy (growth), endurance and strength.  EMS may be used only for this or with regular weight training by aiding recovery and helping muscles grow and get stronger.  EMS can increase body temperature, heart rate and metabolism              (promoting energy and fat absorption from the body).
