Microcurrent Therapy - The Healing Frequencies

Microcurrent is a method of treatment that falls into fields of medicine, such as Bio-Energy Medicine or Electromedicine. Microcurrent Therapy has been studied for nearly a century, but only recently has it seen a resurgence in the medical field.

 

It explores the use of frequencies (such as light, vibration, resonance and sound) and current to treat a variety of health conditions, including those physical and emotional in nature. Microcurrent is one of many types of devices that utilize frequency to enhance health and well-being.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SESSION:

 

Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, which include discussions, evaluations, anything related to treatment, and some admin (like scheduling). First visit should be 90 minutes and may have more discussion than treatment time, depending on complexity of issue(s) being treated. 

​

FSM/Microcurrent application can be done with electrode pads (“Dry" session) or by using wet clothes or hand towels with conductive pads (“Wet” session). For that reason, it is recommended that the client wear clothing that can get wet or to bring a change of clothing for after the session. 

 

During sessions, the client may become relaxed and rest. Most sessions are done with the client lying down or in a position of comfort. There may be (usually is) discussion related to what is happening or what may need to be addressed, as well as to check in. While FSM is being applied most do not feel it, as it is very subtle; usually relaxing. Avazzia microcurrent (single channel) is more noticeable but should also feel pleasant. 

​

It is especially important to be well hydrated prior to and after the session. It would be good to have a light meal and plenty of electrolytes after sessions. May also want to have products available to help with the body’s waste and drainage systems.  

​

For optimal benefits, it is recommended to receive 1-2 sessions per week, schedules permitting. The number of sessions/weeks is dependent on the purpose of treatment and the complexity of the situation/condition.

MICROCURRENT THERAPY

Microcurrent therapy has already been widely used in the cosmetic industry, especially in facial equipment as in anti-wrinkle/anti-aging devices, as well as in Acupuncture, sports injury recovery, and the treatment of pain. Microcurrent devices are approved in the category of TENS devices by the FDA. Traditional TENS devices deliver milliamp current, which blocks pain messages that are trying to get up the spine to the brain. Microcurrent, on the other hand, delivers a very low level, subsensory micro-amperage DC current, which is a 1000 times less than traditional TENS devices. It has been shown in published studies to increase production of ATP by up to 500% in tissues. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the biochemical way to store and use energy in cells. We are made of cells. Without ATP energy, cells would not survive.

​

In the book written by Orthopedic surgeon and author of The Body Electric, Dr Robert Becker, MD, he noted that because the body’s nervous system runs on DC current, the most effective healing occurs with DC stimulation. It is noted that the human nervous system appears to not respond well to strong, disruptive stimuli. According to Dr. Becker, therapy approaches such as TENS appear to be “screaming” at the nerves, rather than “whispering” to them as they would through microcurrent stimulation.

​

This can also be explained by the Arndt/Schulz law of physics, where German psychiatrist Rudolf Arndt (1835-1900) and German pharmacologist Hugo Schulz (1853-1932) stated that weak stimuli increase physiologic activity, while strong stimuli inhibit activity. When working with pain, it suggests that less electricity could be more effective than more of it. Arndt-Schulz law may also explain why micro-amperage currents may be more effective than milli-amperage currents for pain relief.

AVAZZIA

Avazzia Pro Sport device

Avazzia Microcurrent Biofeedback treatments are available. Avazzia RSI device is an FDA approved, single channel microcurrent device to treat pain- chronic and acute. It may also help to decrease inflammation, accelerate healing, detoxify, reduce swelling, reduce sinus pressure, improve organ functions, reduce neuropathy, reduce appearance of scars, reduce adhesions, and more.

MEND TECHNOLOGY

MEND technology frequency specific microcurrent device

Mend technology is a programmable Frequency Specific Microcurrent device that uses gentle DC current over 2 channels to deliver frequency pairs, with one frequency for the condition and the other for a designated tissue. This allows for much more specialized treatments of a variety conditions.
