How does this treatment differ from other pain relieving modalities?
A Microcurrent Therapy appointment is totally holistic in the way that it treats symptomatically as well as aiming to normalise imbalances in the body.
The imbalances may be electromagnetic, muscular, structural, nutritional, physiological, emotional etc. In a full treatment appointment a case history will be taken which will include Naturopathic and some Chinese diagnostic principles. Natural Medicines, basic Kinesiology & Massage, Iris Diagnosis and External treatments may be incorporated to aim for your optimal health and wellbeing - this is why your initial appointment if recommended (for more chronic complaints) is one hour, solely dedicated to you!
Otherwise if you want symptomatic relief a half an hour treatment appointment is sufficient.
Most practitioners just specialise in one particular modality, in your Microcurrent appointment will get much more from a trained Naturopath using many modalities.
There is nowhere else you can get this unique combination of treatments and diagnostics!

How do I know if Microcurrent Therapy will suit me?
For those unsure about if you can be helped by Microcurent Therapy, you are invited for a free 10 minute assessment appointment to establish whether this treatment will be helpful for you. If you have some obvious misalignment problems you may be referred to an Osteopath or another practitioner of this type.

Other Applications
The Microcurrent unit can also measure congestion and imbalances that can't always be felt within the body. It can help restablish the balance of subtle energy systems through alerting the practitioner to specific acu-points that need stimulation or sedation which can be treated accordingly. These are found in many areas of the body even including
the ears and are often found on or close to trigger points in the muscles. This unique Microcurrent unit can be used to test the body's strong or weak response to particular foods and medicines/supplements.
It also can increase muscle tone through using higher currents and aid healthy organ function. It is also used particularly in the United States for non-surgical facial rejuvenation by the stars!

Are there any Side-Effects?
These are very rare but occasionally people may experience mild itching or uncomfortable tingling from the pads or probes which disappear when the current is adjusted. Your practitioner needs to be told if you have a heart condition/pace maker, epilepsy, you are pregnant or have cancer as these are contra-indicated on most occasions.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
It depends on the condition being treated. As a very general guideline: for acute conditions approximately 2-3 treatments and more for chronic deep-seated problem- no more, than needed for visits to Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Physios etc.
You may undergo Microcurrent Therapy with most other modalities and medications.
