Direct current therapy is offered at Adjusted For Life Chiropractic Health Centre to help improve muscle activation, strength, and neuromuscular control after injury. Using the NEUBIE device developed by NeuFit, this therapy focuses on restoring communication between the nervous system and muscles.

Direct current therapy is commonly used alongside chiropractic care and guided exercise. This combined approach helps restore movement, rebuild strength, and support recovery so patients can return to activity with greater confidence.

How Direct Current Therapy Works

The NEUBIE device uses direct electrical current that closely resembles the signals naturally produced by the nervous system. Electrodes are placed on specific muscle groups while patients perform guided exercises.

Muscle Activation and Control

The stimulation helps recruit muscle fibers more effectively and encourages muscle contraction during movement. In many cases, this allows patients to activate muscles that have become weak or difficult to engage following injury.

Sessions usually involve controlled movements and exercises, with the device stimulating the muscles. Most appointments last about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the care plan.

Conditions That May Benefit

Direct current therapy may help support recovery when muscle activation or neuromuscular communication has been affected. Patients often use this therapy for concerns such as:

Muscle weakness following injury
Muscle atrophy
Neuropathy or nerve-related symptoms
Difficulty activating specific muscle groups
Reduced strength following surgery
Chronic muscle tension or imbalance
Multiple Sclerosis
Athletes and active individuals may also use this therapy to rebuild strength while recovering from injury.

How It Complements Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper joint and spine movement. Direct current therapy focuses on improving the neurological communication that allows muscles to move and stabilize those joints.

Combined Approach

When these approaches are combined, patients may experience improved mobility, stronger muscle activation, and better movement control. This combination can help support long-term recovery and improved physical performance.
