WELCOME TO MICROCURRENT THERAPY TRAINING​
​Microcurrent is a part of the emerging and fascinating science of Bioelectronic Medicine.
​This new field of study centers on the development of procedures to treat diseases using electricity produced by our body instead of relying on medication. Our body relies on electrical signals to function and stimulate healing. Research supports that our body's electrical signals (nerve impulses) may be manipulated to treat various chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma.
​
When there is an injury, there’s a disruption in electrical signaling and the application of tiny levels of electricity, as in microcurrents can help restore homeostasis.
​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 is 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" appears to demonstrate the possibility of re-growing nerves. It has been accomplished in laboratories on mice but it is not fully understood.
The clinical protocols are not established so that experiments cannot be reproduced upon command.​
Although there isn't a definitive theory how microcurrent works, there are possible and probably mechanisms that may explain how microcurrent accelerates healing.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
