Microtherapy

Microtherapy is a term given to several invasive and non-invasive medical techniques.

It can be the use of tiny electrical currents to encourage healing and reduce pain.

"Damage or trauma causes a disruption in the normal electrical activity and decreases the flow of energy through the tissue involved, much like a battery which has been run down. By introducing mild electrical micro currents, like those similar to the body's own electrical currents, it causes the body to produce its own natural pain relieving chemicals called "endorphins."  The pain relief after a treatment may therefore be considered an Electro-Chemical change occurring in the involved area at a cellular level.  Usually relief can be felt within several hours following the first or second treatment, although with more chronic disorders, relief can sometimes take up to 4-6 treatments before it is felt."

"Remarkable improvement in the reduction of pain, diminished swelling, normalization of the skin coloration, and improved range of motion. Studies have shown recovery and healing times of 1.5 to 2.5 times faster and of longer lasting results as compared with conventional therapies.  Mild side effects following the first or second treatment ONLY occur in about 2% of patients, which include dizziness, nausea, or slight soreness and typically do not last for more than 1-2 treatments."
