WHAT IS MICROCURRENT THERAPY

Microcurrent therapy was first introduced in the form of Frequency Specific Microcurrent or FSM which was developed in 1995 as a way of treating muscle and nerve pain by using frequencies found on a list that came with a medical device developed in 1922 and applying them with a two-channel microcurrent device. This was followed by the introduction of smaller wearable Wide Spectrum Microcurrent Therapy devices for use at home or at the yard in 2012.

Microcurrent therapy uses the principles of biophysics and the effects of biological resonance and frequencies that seem to change cell signaling and thereby change cell function and even structures, such as scar tissue, to reduce pain and improve function. The frequencies seem to improve healing from physical and emotional injuries, resolve nerve pain, phantom limb pain, muscle, joint, neck and low back pain, fibromyalgia, shingles and inflammatory conditions such as irritable bowel, asthma and chronic fatigue. Microcurrent therapy is not used to treat active infections or cancer or any potentially fatal condition.

Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses very low-level electrical currents (in the microampere range) to stimulate cellular activity, repair tissue, and reduce pain

Unlike traditional TENS units, a Microcurrent unit's output is much lower and therefore the stimulation is often not “felt” or perceived by the patient and works on a cellular level to repair cells. Since the stimulation is not felt Microcurrent therapy has been can be used as a veterinary aid to heal and maintain our animal friends. Microcurrent restores lost positive and negative electrons that are lost when injured to accelerate the body’s own healing agenda. When cells are damaged they become electrically imbalanced. Microcurrent picks up where the body fails by increasing ATP levels and helps to heal the damaged area. This shortens recovery time while returning damaged cells to a normal state of initiating cellular activity.

What is ATP? (Adenosine Triphosphate): ATP transports energy within cells for metabolism. This energy is integral to the function of every living cell. Research has shown that microcurrent therapy using microamp (µA) output can increase the level of ATP production up to 500%. This is extremely important because injuries often lose ATP supplies. Unlike other forms of electrotherapy, microcurrent has a cumulative effect on ATP levels. The higher the ATP, the more the body can accelerate the healing process.
