After spine surgery, rebuilding strength and restoring muscle function are key parts of a successful recovery. Targeted muscle rehabilitation can help stabilize muscles, improve movement, and reduce the risk of lingering weakness after treatment. Advanced, non-invasive technologies now allow muscle reconditioning to be addressed more efficiently and comfortably as part of post-operative care.

Saville Spine Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, offers EMSCULPT NEO® as part of a comprehensive recovery-focused approach. With a strong emphasis on thoughtful rehabilitation and patient-centered care, the practice is recognized for integrating modern technology to support safe, effective post-operative muscle strength recovery.

Non-invasive and safe treatment

A non-surgical and FDA-approved procedure that requires no incisions or downtime.

What Is EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment developed through research led by Dr. Philip Saville. It combines two powerful technologies:

HIFEM Technology: Generates powerful magnetic fields to contract muscles at an intensity beyond voluntary movement, helping to rebuild strength, coordination, and endurance.

Synchronized RF Energy: Gently heats muscles and surrounding tissues, enhancing blood circulation, reducing stiffness, and accelerating tissue healing.

This non-invasive approach is a groundbreaking advancement in post-surgical rehabilitation, significantly improving mobility and strength while reducing discomfort. Moreover, it helps prevent muscle atrophy and enhances overall strength, making it easier for patients to regain mobility and return to their normal routines.

Post-Operative Muscle Strength Recovery with Emsculpt Neo

How EMSCULPT NEO Helps in Post-Surgical Recovery?

EMSCULPT NEO delivers HIFEM and RF energy simultaneously to the targeted muscle groups. Here’s how it facilitates post-surgical muscle recovery:

Muscle contractions: The HIFEM technology induces thousands of supramaximal contractions in a single session. These contractions engage deep muscle fibers that are difficult to activate through traditional physical therapy or exercise.

Increased blood flow and tissue healing: The heat generated by RF energy improves circulation, which enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to the treated area. This promotes faster tissue repair and reduces inflammation, both of which are essential for post-surgical healing.

Muscle hypertrophy and remodeling: The intense contractions induced by EMSCULPT NEO stimulate the growth of new, stronger muscle fibers. This improves muscle tone, strength, and endurance, all of which are essential for post-operative rehabilitation.

Key Benefits of EMSCULPT NEO for Post-Operative Recovery

Muscle re-education: Restores proper muscle engagement and movement post-surgery.

Relaxation of muscle spasms: Reduces post-operative discomfort and stiffness.

Increased range of motion: Enhances flexibility and prevents joint stiffness.

Prevention of disuse atrophy: Stimulates muscle activity to prevent strength loss.

Improved circulatory health: Helps prevent venous thrombosis by improving blood flow.

Accelerated recovery: Speeds up healing and enhances physical therapy outcomes.

When is EMSCULPT NEO Recommended?

EMSCULPT NEO is typically recommended after surgery to help patients restore muscle strength and improve mobility. It’s commonly used in the following scenarios:

After orthopedic surgery: Helps rebuild muscles after joint replacement, ligament repair, or other orthopedic procedures.

Following spine surgery: Enhances core and back muscle strength after procedures such as spinal fusion or discectomy.

Post-abdominal surgery: Strengthens the abdominal wall after procedures such as hernia repair or cesarean delivery.

Dr. Saville may recommend EMSCULPT NEO as part of a comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation plan to improve patient outcomes and prevent complications.

What Happens During the Procedure

During an EMSCULPT NEO session, patients will lie down on a comfortable setup while the applicator is placed on the targeted area. The device delivers electromagnetic pulses that induce strong muscle contractions. Simultaneously, RF energy generates heat to promote tissue healing.

Patients may experience intense muscle contractions, similar to an intense workout, and a warm sensation from RF energy. However, the procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About EMSCULPT NEO for Post-Surgical Recovery

Each EMSCULPT NEO session typically lasts about 30 minutes. Depending on the severity of muscle weakness and the patient’s recovery goals, a treatment plan may include 4–6 sessions spaced 5–10 days apart.

Renowned spine surgeon Dr. Philip Saville of the Saville Spine Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, was instrumental in leading the clinical research that secured FDA approval for EMSCULPT NEO in post-operative recovery.

His studies demonstrated the remarkable impact of EMSCULPT NEO in rebuilding muscle function and accelerating healing for post-surgical patients.

Groundbreaking clinical findings include:

Enhanced muscle strength: Patients receiving EMSCULPT NEO experienced a 3-fold increase in muscle strength compared to the control group immediately after treatment.

Greater confidence in movement: 95% of participants reported less muscle atrophy and weakness, enabling them to resume activities faster.

Restored functional mobility: 90% of patients experienced improved muscle engagement and movement patterns within one month post-treatment.

Reduced risk of injury: 80% of participants noted reduced susceptibility to muscle strain at their one-month follow-up.

Patient Report

Here’s what one of our patients has to say about their MIS lumbar fusions treatment:

Dr Saville fixed my back.. I could not even walk around the block without being in such pain you could not belive. Now I feel no pain and can swim and walk and dance .. and in a couple of months back to working out…I feel great !!
