Microcurrent
Therapy
Q: What is Microcurrent Therapy?
A: Microcurrent Therapy uses
extremely small amounts of electrical current (millionths of
an amp) to help relieve pain and heal soft tissues of the body.
Q: How does Microcurrent Therapy
work"
A: Injury to the body disrupts
its normal electrical activity. Microcurrent Therapy produces
electrical signals like those naturally occurring when the body
is repairing damaged tissues. By applying similar electrical
currents, the healing process is enhanced.
Q: What does Microcurrent Therapy
feel like?
A: The electrical current used
in Microcurrent Therapy is so small that is its rarely felt.
However, the water moistened electrodes or gel used to conduct
the current may seem cool when first applied.
Q: Why is Microcurrent Therapy
used?
A: Microcurrent Therapy is
often recommended in cases involving soft tissue inflammation
or muscle spasm. Since Microcurrent Therapy mimics the body's
electrical fields it is helpful in relieving pain and stimulating
the haling of soft tissues.
Patient Benefits
- Can help speed the healing
process
- Reduces swelling and inflammation
- Masks acute and chronic pain
- Releases muscle trigger points
- Improves soft tissue regeneration
Microcurrent Therapy approximates
the natural electrical currents of the body to enhance the healing
process.
