Microcurrent therapy is a form of treatment used for patients with soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. Like electrical stimulation therapy, electrodes are placed on the skin over the affected tissue. Unlike electrical muscle stimulation, the microcurrents are very small, so you do not feel anything while the treatment progresses.

Our bodies have a natural electrical current that helps cells to communicate. When there is injury or disease, the electrical currents are disrupted. Without these currents, the cells cannot function properly. When cells are not functioning and communicating properly, it slows down the healing process.

Microcurrent therapy restores the electromagnetic field within your body so the cells return to normal function. This speeds up healing. Microcurrent therapy has been shown to decrease pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. It may also help with range of motion.

Microcurrent therapy is commonly used for back and neck pain, but it is great for many physical conditions, both chronic and acute. Treatment usually lasts several sessions and is often used with another form of chiropractic therapy. If you want to learn more about microcurrent therapy, contact us today.
