Microcurrent Therapy

Summit Chiropractic Health and Longevity Center provides microcurrent therapy to relieve pain and heal patients.  Microcurrent therapy is administered by placing electrodes directly onto the skin in an affected area and sending microcurrents through the skin into the soft tissue that is in pain or injured.

This therapy is especially recommended for patients with soft tissue injuries because it will reduce pain and inflammation while expediting the healing process.  The microcurrents mimic electrical signals that occur naturally in a healthy body, and restoring electrical currents allows cells to communicate so they can heal more quickly.  The electrical currents are so small that patients usually feel nothing at all or only a slight sensation.  Individual treatment sessions are short and typically scheduled over a series of weeks.  Patients with acute or chronic pain can receive benefits from microcurrent therapy.

How Microcurrent Therapy Works

New technology has the benefit of offering more accurate treatments and better patient outcomes. Here at Summit Chiropractic Health and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, one of the ways we utilize new technology is with microcurrent therapy.

Our bodies have natural electrical currents that help our cells communicate. When an area of the body is injured or when there is disease present, the cells cannot communicate as well, which leads to slowed healing time.

Microcurrent therapy is the process of restoring these electrical currents (it acts like a catalyst in jump starting the electrical system of the body). Electrodes are placed onto the skin over the affected area. When the machine is turned on, tiny microcurrents are passed through the skin and into the soft tissue that is in pain or injured. The electrical currents are so small that patients usually do not feel them. Restoring the electrical currents will allow cells to communicate so they can heal more quickly. In addition, microcurrent therapy can also reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and restore range of motion.

Patients with acute or chronic pain can receive benefits from microcurrent therapy. If you are tired of feeling pain or want to see what microcurrent therapy could do for you, be sure to contact us.

Microcurrent Therapy

At the Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, Chiropractor Dr. Kent Carlomagno offers a number of treatments and technologies in addition to spinal adjustments at his San Rafael, CA office. One such example is Microcurrent Therapy for the treatment of muscle spasms.

Muscle spasms can be an unfortunate and painful side effect of injuries and chronic back and neck pain. If left untreated, muscle spasms can worsen over time. Microcurrent Therapy at Dr. Carlomagno’s San Rafael, CA office aims to relieve immediate symptoms of a muscle spasm while also promoting healing.

Microcurrent Therapy involves applying small, sticker-like pads known as electrodes. The device has a remote that when triggered, will send mild current to the desired muscles. The current is not painful, but does produce some tingling sensations when delivered.

The current causes the muscle is similar to the messages the central nervous system sends to the muscle fibers, causing them to quickly contract. While this may seem counterproductive, the fast contractions help to fatigue the muscle. The added fatigue stops the muscle from further contracting. Additionally, the fast contractions cause the body to release pleasure-inducing endorphins, which can relieve pain due to the contractions. The muscle stimulation also boosts blood circulation to the affected areas, which helps promote healing.

In a short therapy session, patients can experience relief from muscle spasm pain and facilitate healing at Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA.

Microcurrent Therapy at Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center

In addition to chiropractic adjustments and treatment, many chiropractors choose to use a variety of holistic and non-invasive procedures to help increase their patients’ health and decrease their pain. Microcurrent therapy is once such procedure. It utilizes low-level electrical currents and is applied in short therapy sessions, which are excellent for facilitating the healing of both acute and chronic pain. In San Rafael, CA, we use this type of therapy as a compliment to chiropractic treatment for increasing the speed of our patients’ healing while also decreasing their pain and rate of illness and injury.

Each tissue in your body has its own electrical frequency, and these frequencies can be disrupted by an injury. Microcurrent therapy alleviates pain and inflammation and helps the tissue heal by restoring tissue to its normal cellular frequency. It does this by sending a very small amount of current to the injured area. If you are suffering from muscle spasms, the current can help relax the muscle and return it to its normal state. The therapy also increases protein synthesis and ATP, which is the energy that fuels biochemical function at the cellular level. Both help accelerate healing. 

Treatment usually involves several sessions and can benefit a range of conditions, from arthritis, headaches, fibromyalgia, headaches and neck pain to neuropathy, sciatica, shingles, slow-healing wounds, tendon and ligament pain and back pain. 

If you are looking to increase your health or treat soft-tissue injuries or another conditions caused by an accident, chiropractic and microcurrent therapy can greatly benefit you.
