You Deserve a Treatment That Works Without Making Things Worse
Pelvic floor dysfunction patients often come to us frustrated. They've heard that internal pelvic floor therapy is the gold standard, and while it can be effective, some patients aren't ready for it, can't tolerate it, or want a non-invasive option first.
Athletes face a different version of the same problem: muscle spasms, hip tightness, and recovery plateaus that limit performance, even when they're doing everything right.
What both groups share: they need a treatment that works with their body, not against it. One that's comfortable, requires no needles, and doesn't add to their symptom load.
That's where HEIT comes in.
What Is High Energy Inductive Therapy (HEIT)?
High Energy Inductive Therapy is an advanced technology that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscles and nerves deep within the body, without needles, electrodes, or direct skin contact.
At Atlanta Sports Chiropractic, we use the Zimmer emFieldPro®, an FDA-cleared device with established indications including:
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
- Improved local blood circulation
- Muscle re-education
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion
- Prevention of disuse atrophy
Because treatment is delivered through a magnetic field, sessions are performed through normal clothing in most cases. There's no disrobing, no recovery time, and no preparation required. Most sessions take 10 to 20 minutes.
Most patients describe the sensation as rhythmic muscle contractions, strong but comfortable, and fully adjustable based on tolerance. Many report feeling noticeably looser and more mobile immediately after their first session.
Our Approach: HEIT for Three Patient Populations
Most clinics use HEIT primarily for sports recovery. At Atlanta Sports Chiropractic, we've found it particularly valuable for three distinct groups, and we've built clinical protocols around each one.
Pelvic Floor & Chronic Pelvic Pain
We originally introduced HEIT to help athletes. What surprised us was the response from patients with chronic pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction.
Many patients in this group have reported less pelvic pain, reduced muscle tightness, less cramping, improved comfort with sitting and walking, and better tolerance to pelvic floor rehabilitation. Several pelvic floor specialists working alongside our shared patients have noted that muscles felt noticeably less guarded and easier to work with following HEIT treatment.
For this population, HEIT is positioned as a complement to pelvic floor therapy, not a replacement. It helps reduce muscle guarding so that other treatments become more effective.
We focus on the physical effects of HEIT: muscle relaxation, reduced guarding, improved circulation, and neuromuscular activation. We do not market HEIT as a treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction or any specific medical diagnosis.
Athletes & Active Adults
This is where HEIT was built, and it remains one of its most impactful applications. For athletes dealing with muscle spasms, hip and low back tightness, recovery delays, or mobility restrictions, HEIT provides deep neuromuscular stimulation that can be difficult to achieve through manual therapy alone.
HEIT is frequently incorporated into comprehensive athletic care plans at Atlanta Sports Chiropractic alongside chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation.
Neuromuscular & Chronic Conditions
Patients experiencing muscle weakness, deconditioning, chronic muscle tension, or neuromuscular dysfunction represent a third population we serve well with this technology. For those seeking a non-invasive option that doesn't involve injections or internal treatment, HEIT offers a meaningful alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients find it comfortable. The contractions are strong but not painful, and intensity can be adjusted throughout the session based on your tolerance.
Usually not. Treatment is typically performed through normal athletic clothing. Your provider will let you know if anything needs to be adjusted.
No. There are no needles, electrodes, or internal treatment involved. The electromagnetic field works through the surface of the body.
Most sessions run between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your treatment protocol.
Yes. Many of our patients use HEIT as a complement to their existing pelvic floor rehabilitation program. Pelvic floor specialists who work with our shared patients have noted that patients tend to present with less muscle guarding following HEIT sessions.
Absolutely. It's frequently incorporated into comprehensive treatment plans at Atlanta Sports Chiropractic alongside adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation.
This depends on your condition, goals, and response to treatment. Your provider will discuss a treatment plan during your initial consultation. For best results, we typically recommend a course of 6 sessions, though individual plans vary.
The best way to find out is through a consultation. HEIT may be a good fit if you're dealing with pelvic pain, chronic muscle tension, sports recovery limitations, or muscle guarding that's making other treatments harder to tolerate.
