It is also helpful in keeping muscles active especially after any type neuromusculoskeletal or spinal injury. During this therapy, electrodes are placed on the skin that send light electrical pulses to different areas of the body with the purpose of reducing inflammation, relieving muscle spasms and improving back pain.
