Modern electrotherapeutic techniques may help to balance energy in the body rapidly and painlessly. Points may be stimulated using probes or pads instead of needles so that treatment may be very well tolerated by children or when conditions require or patients prefer non-needle therapy. We use a wide variety of techniques.

Microcurrent

Microcurrent therapy is usually administered below the threshold of perception at intensities similar to the body’s own bioelectricity. It is well accepted and considered especially helpful to balance the body’s vital energy and promote healing through gentle stimulation.

SCENAR

SCENAR is an acronymn for Self Controlled Neuro Adaptive Regulation.  Developed in Russia and funded through its cosmonaut program, this technology employs biofeedback to modify its signal in order to prevent adaptation by the body. SCENAR is widely used throughout Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union for many applications.  To learn more, click on SCENAR Articles

Milliamp Therapy

Milliamp electrotherapy is given when stronger stimulation is desired and may be especially helpful in acute pain to restore the flow of qi and in chronic pain syndromes or in other conditions in which there may be a localized excess accumulation of energy.

Interferential Therapy

The effects of interferential therapy have been compared to the intersection of ripples when two rocks are thrown from different points into a still pond.

Two or more channels set at different frequencies are used and pads applied so that the current flowing from each channel crosses the other. As these waves intersect one another at different angles and frequencies, an interference pattern may result, producing a third and stronger frequency.
