What is Nano Technology?
Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures 100 nanometers or smaller, and involves developing materials or devices within that size.
What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent was first used in the 1980's by physicians in Europe and the US for stimulating acupuncture points, stimulating healing in injured athletes and stimulating bone repair in non-union fractures. Microcurrent therapy, commonly referred as MENS (Microcurrent Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation), is extremely small pulsating currents of electricity measured in millionths of an amp. These currents are finely tuned to the level of the normal electrical exchanges which take place at body's cellular level. These currents being more biologically compatible than any other electrical stimulation device, have the ability to penetrate the cell - as opposed to passing over the cell as other stimulation devices do. Internal exchanges within the body have been long understood by medical practitioners.
Doctors and physical therapists all over the world have been using microcurrent to heal injured muscles, tendons, wounds and a myriad of injuries and ailments for the past fifteen years
What are some benefits of Microcurrent Therapy?
Microcurrent increases ATP production by 500 %. ATP is the primary molecule from which our body produces energy, and it is found in every cell of the body. In a study done by Ngok Cheng, M.D. entitled "The Effects of Electric Current on ATP Generation, Protein Synthesis and Membrane Transport..", it was demonstrated that ATP production increased five times with currents from 50 uA to 1000 uA. With currents exceeding 1000 uA, which is the milliamp range, ATP production leveled, and with 5000 uA ATP production was reduced slightly. Microcurrent was also shown to increase protein synthesis and amino acid transport.
Microcurrent applied to injured tissue supports the natural current flow in the tissue, allowing cells in the traumatized area to regain their capacitance, or flow of electrons. Trauma affects the electrical potential of the damaged cells. The injured area has a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue. This decreases electrical conductance through the injured area, and decreases cellular capacitance, leading to impairment of the healing process and inflammation. When this microcurrent therapy is applied, resistance is reduced, allowing bioelectricity to flow through and re-establish normal function. This process helps to initiate and perpetuate the many biochemical reactions that occur in healing. In Frequency Specific Microcurrent specific frequencies are used for varying tissues and conditions, often providing softening of the tissue and decreased pain. This softening and the pain relief that comes with it seems to be long lasting and in many cases permanent.
Benefits to the Patient:
- Helps speed up the healing process.
- Chronic and Acute Spinal Pain.
- Chronic and Acute Low Back and Neck Pain.
- Orthopedic Injuries.
- Myofacial Pain.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Tendon and Ligament repair
- Reduces swelling and inflammation.
- Releases muscle trigger points.
- Improves soft tissue regeneration.
- Magnet Therapy combined is many times beneficial.
Conditions which can be treated with Microcurrent Therapy:
This list represents only a few of the many conditions which can be treated. In addition, the following items represent broad categories for which there are many frequencies available depending on the specific issue the patient is presented with:
Structural Issues
- Auto-Immune issues.
- Endocrine System Balance
- Electromagnetism Issues
- Muscle Balancing Issues
- Endocrine Adaptive Circuit Clearing
- Spinal Adaptive Circuit Clearing
- Bio-Adaptive Computer (body chemistry)
- Injuries to Joints, Tendons, Tissues, etc.
Microcurrent is approved in the category of TENS devices determined by the FDA. TENS devices deliver milliamp current and block pain messages that are tying to get up the spine to the brain. Microcurrent delivers microamperage current which has been shown in published studies to increase ATP production in tissues.
What is the difference between the microcurrent and a laser?
Microcurrent provides electrons and in published studies increases ATP production in cells. Lasers provide photons. I am not aware of any research suggesting that laser treatment increases ATP production. Lasers oscillate at set frequencies and provide beneficial results. They are doing it by some other method than frequency specific resonance and ATP enhancement.
What are Microcurrent Shoes?
Microcurrent is an electrical treatment modality providing current in millionths of an ampere that has the ability to relieve pain, increase blood circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, increase protein synthesis, relieve myofascial trigger points, and increase the rate of wound healing.
Using nano technology, Microcurrent Shoes are medical therapeutic shoes capable of treating disease merely by walking while wearing them.
How do they work?
The rechargeable dry cells are operated using the force applied from the heel of the foot whenever the user walks, thereby generating minute electric curents. The shoes are designed in such a way that the minute electric currents generated are transmitted to magnets positioned at each of the acupuncture spots on the sole of the foot and then into the human body through circuits disposed inside the shoes.
Will I feel anything?
Microcurrent is sub sensory and cannot be felt while it is being delivered because there is not enough current to stimulate the sensory receptors.
Are they Safe?
Microcurrent increases cellular metabolism, blood circulation and waste removal.This detoxification reaction could possibly result in nausea and headache. This can be lessened by having the patient drink water and take an anti-oxidant combination supplement. Microcurrent therapy has a history of being very safe.
Contraindications
- Individuals with demand - type cardiac pacemaker or epilepsy.
- Safety during pregnancy has not been established.
Do these shoes come in different sizes?
Yes, these medical shoes come in all sizes.
How do I charge the microcurrent devise?
For information on charging devices for microcurrent shoes click here
What if I need custom size shoes?
Using our specialized measurement equipment size can be determined and shoes molded according to the required specifications.
What happens if the shoes get wet?
The devices are protective against water and moisture, nevertheless do not clean shoes and devices with water, just use dried cloth or buff .
Is MicroCurrent Stimulation FDA approved?
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MCS) is an enhanced adaptation of a FDA approved therapy used by anesthesiologists, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and rehabilitative specialists to promote the healing of wounds and transplanted tissues as well as to treat pain
Microcurrent Stimulation Therapy is considered an "off label" or "experimental" use of an FDA approved medical device. Off label usage of FDA devices and drugs are commonly practiced by doctors to allow them to use treatment in a manner they feel most beneficial to their patients.
