Micro Current Energy Therapy
Microcurrent Therapy, often used in the context of electroacupuncture, involves the application of low-level electrical currents to specific areas or acupuncture points on the body to promote healing and reduce pain. It's distinct from traditional acupuncture but integrates principles from both traditional Chinese medicine and modern physical therapy.
​
Microcurrent Therapy delivers tiny electrical pulses to the body, which can be similar in amplitude to the body's natural electrical currents. Because of this, it's often described as "physiologic electric therapy."
Mechanism: Microcurrent Therapy delivers tiny electrical pulses to the body, which can be similar in amplitude to the body's natural electrical currents. Because of this, it's often described as "physiologic electric therapy."
Applications:
-
Pain Management: Microcurrent Therapy can be used to treat chronic pain, muscle pain, inflammation, and other pain conditions.
-
Facial Rejuvenation: A specific application known as "microcurrent facial" uses this therapy to stimulate facial muscles, potentially leading to skin tightening and anti-aging effects.
-
Wound Healing: Some studies suggest that microcurrent can enhance cellular repair and promote wound healing.
-
Non-needle Electrotherapy: For those who are needle-averse, microcurrent can also be applied using probes or pads, eliminating the need for needle insertion.
Benefits:
-
Sub-sensory: One of the advantages of Microcurrent Therapy is that the electrical current levels are usually sub-sensory, meaning the patient often doesn't feel Minimal sensation.
-
Promotes Natural Healing: The currents are believed to enhance the body's natural healing processes, stimulate cellular activity, and improve energy flow.
Safety and Precautions:
-
While Microcurrent Therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals, it's not recommended for individuals with pacemakers or those who are pregnant without a physician's clearance.
-
As with any therapy, potential side effects or contraindications should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
