Bio-electricity

¡@¡@How can our ancestors know so many ways to make people feel comfortable when there was no chemical medicine? One of the simple answers is that they observed and found the advantage of our natural body energy. There are many forms of energy existing in the universe, for example, light, heat, wave, magnet, electricity, pressure, etc. The bio-energy of human body is one of them. The name of "energy" may be too unfamiliar to the Chinese, while the "Chi" shall be more understandable. It travels around our body to make us be as a projectile and receiver. We contact and react to the message from outside world. The nervous sensor near the skin surface is just like a radar system to take the responsibility of receiving and projecting energy. Only healthy energy bring us health body.
¡@¡@ The alternative therapy is the therapy that takes the advantage of acceptable signal stimulus, such as cold, heat, pressure, electricity, etc. to excite the potential energy to carry out normal functions of all organs and tissues. The methods include taking vital food, palm treatment, massage, sit in meditation, Yoga, deep thought, breathing technique therapy, Chinese medicine, medicinal herbs, aroma-therapy, crystal treatment, bee-sting treatment, energy treatment, acupuncture, bio-electrotherapy, etc. They are used to operate in coordination with each other to recuperate physical harmony, strengthen our resistance to infectious diseases, and tone up the immunity against diseases. Among these, the treatment with electricity is the more effective one.

TENS

What is TENS?

¡@¡@The original skill of TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator/ Stimulation) is from the doctors of the ancient Rome. They use electric eels to treat people who have headache and arthritis. Until decades ago, the age of machine coming, people took the advantage of stable electricity to obtain more effective TENS therapy. TENS, as the name applied, is used to simulate the nerve, muscle and cells via surface skin by low electricity to make the brain produce endorphins or natural pain killers and then to reach the goal of relieving syndromes and stopping pain.

TENS Effect

¡@¡@For decades' development, the scientists found that low output and near bio-electricity not only stop pain but also can revive tissues, for tissue revival is the result of serial heat and electro-chemical effect. That is, the revival of cells and tissues need low electricity to supply the power.
¡@¡@ Dr. Robert O. Becker, the pioneer of TENS, had proven the effect of the electrotherapy by countless researches that the direct bio-electricity is related to the body remedy function. He found that the electric characteristics do a lot of favor on reviving lymph, accelerating injury recovery and controlling the pain.
¡@¡@ During the Olympics of 1984, Joanie Benoit, the record keeper of woman marathon, has used microcurrent to promote post-op remedy and relieve syndromes. After 17 days, she passed the preliminary contest and won the champion. Also, Joe Montana's, the soccer player used microcurrent to help the back post-op procedure and won the worlds again.

Sensory Fibrals

Three Functions for Pain Relief

1. TENS signals heading to the brain is faster than the pain so that the painful feeling is lightened.
2. TENS stimulates the brain to secrete endorphin flowing into the blood and the spinal fluid, and then relieves the pain.
3. TENS stimulates the sympathetic nerve to remove the pain or strain coming from diseases or pressure.

Pain Relief System

¡@¡@The main function is to relieve the symptoms of muscular pain, poor blood circulation and provides pain management.
¡@¡@ According to the gate control theory of pain, there is a "gating system" in the central nervous system that opens and closes to let pain messages through to the brain or to block them. TENS stimulate the A fiber which "close the gate" and reduce pain.

TENS Principle : Gate Control System

TENS Mode

Caution

• Place the electrode on or near the pain point.
• Adjust rate between 20-180 pps.

IF

What is IF?

¡@¡@Interferential therapy is based on the effect of low frequency stimulation as in the biological frequency range. The low interferential current is the result of two interacting medium frequency current produced by IF units. Interferential stimulator means the transmission of a small electrical pulse through the skin into painful area causing a mild tingling sensation. This sensation works to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. IF uses four electrodes which allow better focus and deeper tissue stimulation.

• IF: Interferential Stimulator
• Principle: Transmission of a small electrical pulse through the skin into painful area causing a mild tingling sensation.
• A pplication:
  1. Symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.
  2. Adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical and post traumatic acute problems.
  3. Soft tissue of the forefoot.

IF's Electric Bio-effect

• Penetrates deeply into soft tissues and bones.
• Inflammation, muscle spasm

Caution

• Follow the instruction of your physician to use IF devices.
• Never use on infant and children.
• Forbidden to use with other devices at the same time.
• Do not stimulate over the eyes.
• Do not immerse unit in water
• Make sure the unit power is off when applying electrodes.

HVG

What is HVG?

¡@¡@Theoretically, high voltage galvanic is us e di rect curren t creates an electrical field o ver the treated area that, changes blood flow. The positive pad behaves like ice, causing reduced circulation to the area under the pad and reduction in swelling. The negative pad behaves like heat, causing increased circulation, reportedly speeding healing. A high voltage device produces a spontaneous breakdown in skin resistance and currents passes through the skin with negligible thermal and electrochemical effects by decreasing the pulse duration and increasing the voltage, the developers noted that deep tissues could be stimulated without producing tissue damage.

• HVG: High Voltage Galvanic.
• Principle: Direct current creates an electrical field over the treated area.
• A pplication:
  • ain relief ( acute pain , chronic pain)
  • Increase blood circulation, promote metabolism
  • Muscle rehabilitation
  • Help heal injury
  • Edema reduction.
  • Locally reduce inflammation

• DO NOT process treatment on following conditions: acute inflammation, bleeding tendency, malignant tumor, tuberculosis, metal foreign matter, wound, from the waist to the lower limbs of the pregnant women, heart area, etc.
• Never use on infant children.
• Forbidden to use with other devices at the same time.
• Watch out the electrode allergy.

MC

What is MC?

¡@¡@Microurrent is used for the relief of pain, because of it's close proximity to our own body's current, and is thought to work on a more cellular level.
¡@¡@ Microcurrent is measured in MicroAmps, millionths of an ampere. Current levels that seem to be most effective in helping tissue heal range from 20 to 500 MicroAmps.
¡@¡@ It is theorized that health tissue is the result of direct flow of electrical current throughout our 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 has been found that ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in the cell helps 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 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.

• MC: Microcurrent
• Principle: Direct transfer special electricity into the body to excite or steady the nerves, that is, the basement of the electrotherapy.
• A pplication:
  • Chronic/ acute pain sufferer (for portions or face).
