​ Microcurrent is part of the Emerging Field of Bioelectric Medicine.

Microcurrent is a part of the emerging and fascinating science of Bioelectric Medicine;
how the body naturally generates electrical signals within its
cells and nervous system.
Bioelectric Medicine explores how signals may be manipulated through electrical stimulation to treat various chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma. 
 
Scientists have found how the body harnesses the power of electricity to heal injuries.
Our body relies on electrical signals to function.
When there is an injury, there’s a disruption in our electricals signaling; signals
take a wrong turn something like a garbled message of a cell phone.
Minute levels of electricity restores the body’s electrical signals to normal levels.
​
​Worldwide recognition of Microcurrent Therapy began when professional athletes
and Olympic greats used
microcurrent to accelerate healing of injuries.
​In different parts of the country, a small but growing community of microcurrent practitioners developed
new techniques and protocols for treating pain and injury.
Today, microcurrent is used by doctors, chiropractors,
veterinarians, acupuncturists, physical therapist
and skincare professionals as popularity continues to soar.

Bioelectric medicine so promising that British Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmith Kline
and Alphabet, parent company of Google
formed a partnership calling it the "marriage of biology and technology."
They are betting that research will lead to future breakthroughs in
treating chronic conditions as well as spinal cord injuries.
 
Moncel Slaoui, GSK's Chairman of Global Vaccines said, "Many of the processes of the human
body are controlled by electrical signals firing between the nervous system and the body's organs,
which may become distorted in many chronic diseases. 
Bioelectronic Medicine's vision is to employ the latest advances
in biology and technology to interpret 
electrical conversation and correct the irregular patterns found in
disease states, using miniature devices attached to individual nerves.
If successful, the approach offers the potential
for a new therapeutic modality alongside traditional medicines and vaccines."

Is nerve regeneration possible with microcurrent?
​Emerging theoretical biology demonstrates the possibility of re-growing nerves.
It has been done in laboratories on mice but it is not fully understood.
The clinical protocols are not established so that experiments
cannot be reproduced upon command.
​
There are possible and probably mechanisms that may explain
how microcurrent accelerates healing. 
Research is moving ahead in so many directions.

​Microcurrent Stimulates Angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from existing
blood vessels in the body. Essentially you are getting healthier by normalizing blood flow.
The creation of new blood vessels through angiogenesis is considered
essential for healing bringing nutrients, immune cells, and oxygen to injured tissue.
​
Microcurrent is Biocompatible.
Microcurrent is compatible having enough similarities with living tissue
that it is not toxic, injurious and does not cause immunological rejection.
It has enough similarities to current moving through our bodies to be usable.
​
Microcurrent Reestablishes Ion Channel Capacity.
Microcurrent influences the electrical charge between the inside and outside of the
cell membrane causing subtle changes in ion movement
though the cell membrane.
This impacts on cell function such as nerve signaling without current physically entering the cell.
