Emsculpt Neo For Chronic Pain
Emsculpt Neo may be best known as the leading non-invasive body contouring device, but a recent innovation and software upgrade enables Emsculpt Neo to treat chronic pain and more. When applied on the affected area, the new Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness protocol relieves pain, re-educates muscle, increases range of motion, relaxes muscle spasms, and addresses disuse atrophy. Improve your quality of life with Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness. Now tax-deductible and covered under some Health Spending Accounts.
Want Your Life Back?
Are you seeking to increase your flexibility and range of motion? Experiencing age-related deterioration that’s impacting your quality of life? Struggling with post-surgical or post-injury discomfort despite doing physical therapy? Experiencing limitations due to joint and muscle overload? Wishing you could push past a plateau in your physical therapy?
The truth is, chronic pain and discomfort changes your life. Many people with chronic pain or discomfort find themselves unable to do or appreciate the things they once loved or valued. If you said “yes” to any of the questions above, we may be able to use Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness treatments to help you get your life back.
The Evolution Of Emsculpt Technology

BTL Aesthetics is the manufacturer of Emsculpt technology, which the company first launched in 2018. The Classic Emsculpt device uses a trademarked energy called High Intensity-Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to build, rehabilitate, and sculpt muscle. While HIFEM energy is similar to Electrical Muscle Stimulation or Electromagnetic Stimulation (EMS), HIFEM energy has a bigger field and the energy penetrates much deeper in the body.
In 2020, BTL Aesthetics launched Emsculpt Neo, the newest version of the device. In addition to HIFEM energy, Emsculpt Neo uses radiofrequency heat to optimize its muscle-building capability and reduce subcutaneous and visceral fat. Emsculpt Neo is the world’s leading treatment in non-invasive body contouring.
Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness In Halifax
Functional Wellness is Emsculpt Neo’s newest innovation. Body Works Med Spa & Wellness is proud to be the first and only provider of Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness in Halifax and Nova Scotia. This treatment protocol utilizes HIFEM energy and radiofrequency heat to treat chronic pain and discomfort.
The Health Canada approval reads, “The Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive therapeutic device intended for stimulation of neuromuscular tissue and applying therapeutic deep heat. The neuromuscular stimulation results in effects such as: pain relief, relaxation of muscle spasm, prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy, increasing local blood circulation, and firming and tonisation.”
The FDA has also approved Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness for muscle re-education, immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, and maintaining or increasing range of motion.

How Does Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness Work?
With the Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness protocol, we apply an applicator directly onto the area experiencing pain or discomfort. The treatment works by enhancing blood flow and circulation, reducing inflammation, stimulating muscle, and retraining neural pathways. After completing an initial series of treatments, you would come back for a maintenance treatment if or when symptoms return.
Functional Wellness Vs. Body Sculpting
Functional Wellness differs from the body sculpting protocol in three important ways. First, there’s a shorter pulse duration for muscle contractions. Short pulses induce quick and controlled muscle stimulation without overloading and causing muscle fatigue in the weakened or atrophied muscles after injury, surgery, or prolonged immobilization.
Second, there’s high frequency stimulation. Higher frequency stimulation focuses more on nerve modulation and retraining neural pathways instead of inducing supramaximal contractions. This can be essential in conditions where the goal is not just muscle contraction, but re-gaining fine motor control and improving neuroplasticity.
Third, there’s low-intensity stimulation. Low intensity stimulation ensures a delicate stimulation of weak, atrophied, or injured muscles. It’s essential for stimulation right after the acute phase of injury to avoid further damage to muscles.
