Microcurrent TherapyFor patients with chronic pain, microcurrent therapy can be a godsend. Its track record is particularly good for conditions such as fibromyalgia, neuropathy, shingles, sciatica, diabetic ulcers, and other intractable conditions that often fail to respond to conventional treatment. What is Microcurrent Therapy? Microcurrent is a novel therapy that utilizes extremely low-level electrical currents (microcurrents) to treat nerve and muscle pain, inflammation, and other health challenges. Each tissue type in your body has its own signature electrical frequency, which may be disrupted by injury or disease. Microcurrent therapy simply restores normal frequencies within the cells, resulting in remarkable improvements in pain, inflammation, and function. How Does Microcurrent Therapy Work? At the cellular level, microcurrent therapy stimulates a dramatic increase in ATP, the energy that fuels all biochemical functions in the body. It also bumps up protein synthesis, which is necessary for tissue repair. The ensuing enhancement in blood flow and decrease in inflammation translates into reductions in pain and muscle spasm and increased range of motion. For patients with chronic pain, microcurrent therapy can be a godsend. Its track record is particularly good for conditions such as fibromyalgia, neuropathy, shingles, sciatica, diabetic ulcers, and other intractable conditions that often fail to respond to conventional treatment. Heal Faster and Stronger With Microcurrent Therapy Microcurrent therapy is rapidly becoming a favorite of professional athletes and sports teams as well as weekend warriors. When NFL player Terrell Owens sustained a severe injury to his ankle six weeks prior to the 2005 Super Bowl, everyone assumed his season was over. Terrell credits his ability to play, not to mention his spectacular performance, to microcurrent and other alternative therapies he underwent. A Typical Treatment Session During a typical treatment, you recline comfortably while specific microcurrent frequencies are delivered to targeted tissues. The therapist uses electrodes or special gloves to direct the currents and places warm, moist towels over the affected area to facilitate conduction. Unlike the more familiar TENS units, which also use electrical currents to relieve pain, microcurrents are so weak that they don’t stimulate the sensory nerves, so you feel no shock-like sensations. A treatment course typically involves several sessions, and benefits accrue over time. Microcurrent therapy is safe, FDA-approved, and has no significant adverse effects. However, it is not recommended for patients who have pacemakers or are pregnant. Note: It is important to be well-hydrated before and after treatment. Be sure to drink plenty of water while undergoing this therapy.
