Microcurrent Electrical
Neuromuscular Stimulator, MENS
MC2
The
newest units use a very low voltage current, usually between 1uA
and 1000uA. A microamp (uA) is 1/1000 of a milliamp (mA), so 1000
uA equals 1 mA. Most TENS devices have a milliamplitude of 1-80
mA.
Where
TENS is used to hide pain, Microcurrent, because of its close proximity
of our own body’s current, is thought to work on a more cellular
level. It has been theorized that healthy tissue is the result of
the direct flow of electrical current throughout the body. Electrical
balance is disrupted when the body is injured at a particular site,
causing the electrical current to change course. The use of Microcurrent
over the injured site is thought to realign this flow, thus aid
in tissue repair. It's been found that ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
in the cell helps to promote protein synthesis and healing. The
lack of ATP due to trauma of the tissue results in the decreased
production of sodium and an increase in metabolic wastes, which
is perceived as pain. The use of Microcurrent at an injured area
helps to realign the body’s electrical current, increase the
production of ATP, resulting in increased healing and recovery,
as well as blocking the pain that is perceived.
The
electrical current used in Microcurrent Therapy is so small that
it is rarely felt physically, however biologically it has an effect.
The water-moistened electrodes or gel used to conduct the current
may seem cool when first applied.
