Questions About Micro Current Therapy:

 

Is it FDA Approved ?

Yes.... it is put in the same class (family) of TENS instruments. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator. Other devices are called Muscle Stim, Russian Stim, etc.

 

How is Micro Current different from the other TENS family ?

There is major difference. One micro current is 1,000th of a milli amp. This creates an extremely mild current operating at the same levels of the human & animal bodies. It has been showed that levels of 750 micro amps & up lose their healing ability. The instruments in the TENS family are more for pain control.

 

Why haven't I heard of it before ?

If you start asking around, you'll probably find you know many friends, associates, or animals that have been treated by this modality. If you have had physical therapy, or seen a sports medicine doctor you may have had treatments yourself and just didn't know it . Therapist don't

always tell you what they are doing with what instrument they are using.

 

Why have I heard it doesn't work ?

The field is young. Product has been on the market since the late 70's. It was very expensive and mostly used

by sports medicine doctors for quick results on their athletes. It took awhile to filter down through other fields of practice. When it did many companies jumped in and start trying to make instruments to take advantage of the potentially large market place. This was a good & a bad thing! As in all industries many of these companies failed to do a good job. Many of the instruments produced were not true micro current units at all and others were not an accurate delivery system! Many of the instruments on the market are very limited in features & capabilities. Owners of such equipment could honestly say it doesn't work. Today many of those companies are gone, but not all, so as is in all industries its "Buyer Beware".

 

How does the Precision Micro Unit stack up ?

Its know as the " best of the best". Quality, accuracy, & features unsurpassed in its class. Commonly called

"The Work Horse", or "The Clinic in a Box". Only weighs 16 Lbs.

 

Is it safe ?

Very! However it still requires proper and responsible use as in the use of all modalities.

 

Is there much research in this area ?

YES! The first book written in layman terms that does a beautiful job of recapping the beginning of this industry is; "The Body Electric",

by Robert O. Becker, M.D. & Gary Selden. Since then, the increase in knowledge in the use of this modality has been phenomenal !

 

I've heard some "far out claims", are they true ?

Depends on what you call "far out". Its a valuable tool that should be considered in many applications.

Working as a health care professional or with one, its one more way to achieve optimal health in a noninvasive way.

 

What is the basis of why it works so well ?

Simply put. We are all electrically charged beings. Trauma and injury cause living cells to lose their electrical charge.

By inducing outside stimulation, the cells are recharged and returned to their normal frequency. Only then, can they begin passing and

processing blood normally.

 

How fast can I expect results ?

There are many parameters to consider. Is the injury acute or chronic, minor or major. The results can be experienced in as little as one

treatment. The average is three to five for simple problems, and more for more serious conditions.
