What is micro current therapy?
Micro current therapy, like cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), involves the
use of micro current devices, such as the alpha-
As we begin this new millennium, we rely on various forms of technology to diagnose our patients through an ever increasing armamentarium of new devices. New therapeutic technologies for a variety of disorders also offer a remarkable and unprecedented track record in both safety and efficacy. A fresh look at physiology is needed to better understand and intervene in the primary medical complaint of pain. Western universities are still teaching that life is based on a chemical model. Given the explosive growth in electrical technologies and our ever increasing understanding of physics, it is more realistic in the 21st century to view biological processes on an electrochemical basis rather than on a chemical basis alone. Modern thinking on the subject far transcends the use of force in electro medical interventions. Scientific electro medicine has only evolved recently, over the past 50 years. This is due, in part, to advances in electrical technology and our understanding of biophysics as a distinct discipline from biochemistry. The most recent advancements involve only micro current levels of stimulation, often sufficiently minute as to not even be felt by the patient being treated.
Integrating Biochemistry and Biophysics
Robert O. Becker, MD, an orthopedist/researcher at the State University of New York, spent more than 30 years attempting to determine how trillions of cells with hundreds of subtypes can function harmoniously in life.1 He found that a primitive direct current data transmission and control system exists in biological systems for the regulation of growth and healing. He calls this the fourth nervous system. His studies of extraneuronal analog electrical morphogenetic fields have established the importance of bioelectricity for all life processes. Becker has laid the groundwork for the medical professions to start to evolve towards a more reasonable integrated view of biology incorporating our understanding of both biochemistry and biophysics. Björn Nordenström, MD, Emeritus Professor of Radiology at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm who also served as Chairman of the Nobel Assembly, has proposed a new and distinct model of bio electrical control systems he calls biologically closed electric circuits (BCEC).2,3 Nordenström's theory is that the mechanical blood circulation system is closely integrated anatomically and physiologically with a bioelectrical system. The principle is analogous to closed circuits in electronic technology.
