Microcurrent Stimulation and Microcurrent Therapy: The
newest units use a very low voltage current, usually between 1uA and 1000uA. A
microamp (uA) is 1/1000 of a
milliamp (mA), so 1000 uA
equals 1 mA. Most TENS devices have a milliamplitude of 1-80 mA.
Where TENS is used to hide pain, Microcurrent Stimulation , because of its close proximity of
our own body’s current, is thought to work on a more cellular level. It has been
theorized that healthy tissue is the result of the direct flow of electrical
current throughout the body. Electrical balance is disrupted when the body is
injured at a particular site, causing the electrical current to change course.
The use of Microcurrent Therapy over the injured site is
thought to realign this flow, thus aid in tissue repair. It's been found that
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in the cell helps to
promote protein synthesis and healing. The lack of ATP due to trauma of the
tissue results in the decreased production of sodium and an increase in
metabolic wastes, which is perceived as pain. The use of Microcurrent Stimulation at an injured area helps to realign
the body’s electrical current, increase the production of ATP, resulting in
increased healing and recovery, as well as blocking the pain that is perceived.
The electrical current used in Microcurrent Therapy is so small that it is rarely felt
physically, however biologically it has an effect. The water-moistened
electrodes or gel used to conduct the current may seem cool when first
applied.
