Microcurrent Therapy

Microcurrent therapy uses extremely low-level electrical currents (microcurrents) to treat nerve and muscle pain, inflammation and other health challenges.

How Does Microcurrent Therapy Work?

Each tissue type in the body has its own signature electrical frequency, which may be disrupted by injury or disease. Microcurrent therapy restores normal frequencies within the cells, resulting in improvements in pain, inflammation and function.
At 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 enhancement in blood flow and decrease in inflammation means reductions in pain and muscle spasms, as well as increased range of motion.

What Is a Typical Treatment Session Like?

With microcurrent therapy, you sit comfortably while electrodes are placed at strategic locations to direct the currents to the targeted tissues. Warm, moist towels are applied to facilitate conduction.
Unlike 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 course of treatments is recommended. Microcurrent therapy is safe, widely used by medical professionals and has no significant adverse effects.

How can Microcurrent help me?

Microcurrent therapy can be ideal for patients with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, shingles, sciatica, diabetic ulcers, and other conditions that often don’t respond to conventional treatments.
Microcurrent therapy is an excellent treatment for injuries. For example; severe ankle injuries in sportsmen and women.
Microcurrent therapy is quickly becoming a favourite of professional athletes and sports teams alike.
In addition to pain relief and better functional status, many people report improvements in energy, mood, and sense of well-being after being treated with microcurrent therapy.
Because microcurrent therapy delivers specific frequencies to targeted tissues, it is an excellent treatment for a wide variety of conditions including:
