micro-current therapy

The human body requires electro-magnetic energy to function.   This form of energy powers the organs and muscles, and the body cannot survive without it.

The cells within the human body behave like tiny electrolytic batteries each with a potential current of approximately four trillionths of an amp. It is this intricate, bio-electrical circulatory system that enables a cell to communicate with its neighbour through electro-magnetic signalling.

When the body is in a healthy condition the bioelectrical function of these cells remains in an ordered and regulated fashion. However, during times of disease or injury, the situation is appreciably different.

Injured cells disrupt the current flow into and between cells impeding the intercellular communication, which can negatively affect the normal healing processes. The incorrect current pattern is stored in the tissue or organ concerned, which may explain why the effects of injury, disease and even emotional stress can continue to affect us long after physical healing, has taken place.

The cell is the basic component of all living things and they work ceaselessly to nourish, repair, and renew themselves. This ongoing activity, called “cell metabolism”, requires energy which is provided by a substance created within the cell called ATP (adenosine-triphosphate).

Cell metabolism generates wastes that the body must get rid of. As well as eliminating these worn-out or dead cells, the body also needs to get rid of undigested or partially digested foods, chemicals taken in from water, cigarette smoking, alcohol and caffeine, the environment, and medications.

When waste products build up, they impede microcirculation to cells and tissues, decreasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients carried to the cells which, in turn, slows cellular activity reducing the amount of waste eliminated from the cells. As a result, even more waste builds up so the cells function even less.

This vicious cycle continues and can eventually lead to very serious health problems and, in severe cases, even death.

Micro-current treatments work by mimicking the body’s own bioelectrical system thereby helping to restore the natural balance and supplementing the healing process.

In research and clinical studies, the following positive effects have been observed -


Cellular regeneration and increased protein synthesis which encourages soft tissue healing rates;
An increase in ATP levels of between 300% and 500% which means that more energy is available for cell metabolism and the repair of injury;
A 40% Increase in cellular membrane transport which helps reduce swelling of the soft tissues and inflammation;
Enhanced DNA synthesis for soft-tissue cell regeneration;
Activation of T-lymphocytes which strengthen the immune system;
Increase of local blood supply;
Reduction of scar tissue;
Relief of Pain;

Improvement in metabolic efficiency;
