Swelling causes pain and loss of motion, which limits the use of the muscles. Early intervention with Empi devices can increase circulation bringing nutrient-rich blood to the injured area. This may improve range of motion and provide relief of muscle spasms. The sooner you begin treatment, the faster you get back to being active again.
Therapeutic Devices Enhance Healing
Our therapeutic devices promote the healing process. They’re proven to effectively reduce swelling following trauma from an injury or surgery. Empi devices help:
- Accelerate muscle and soft tissue recovery
- Reduce pain and swelling
- Prevent stiffness

- Ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders
- Shin splints
- Contusions
- Muscular strains
- Acute and chronic swelling
- Tendonitis, bursitis
- Inflammation
Opposites Do Attract
The SporTX
delivers positive and negative current therapy directly and precisely to the point of injury to reduce swelling and stiffness from muscle injury.
Healing begins with PDC (pulse direct current) — the electronic equivalent of both ice and heat therapy. PDC uses two modes:
- Positive current mode — works like an ice pack to constrict blood vessels. It can reduce swelling and stiffness, and improve range of motion.
- Negative mode — like a heating pad, it relaxes blood vessels to increase circulation, bring blood to the injured area and draw fluid away from body tissue.
Triple Healing Power
The IF 3Wave™ treats pain, reduces swelling and enhances rehabilitation by incorporating three therapies in one device:
- IF (inferential stimulation) — blocks pain signals to the brain and pinpoints deep pain and comfortably delivers healing therapy.
- NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) — prevents atrophy, re-educates muscles and reduces muscle spasms
- PDC (pulse direct current) — similar to both ice and heat therapy, it can increase blood flow and circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation and increase range of motion.
