Pain relief therapy through microcurrent stimulation is among the most effective methods of pain relief management available today. Microcurrent therapy can be used to treat a variety of patients with a wide range of physical ailments and pain relief needs.

Our bodies, human and animal alike, function through low-voltage conductivity. Currents flow through connective tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone, and neurological pathways to the brain. When a person or animal is injured, its body's normal conductivity becomes altered.

Microcurrent therapy can speed the healing process and provide pain relief by improving the cellular metabolism of injured tissues. This is accomplished by applying a specific frequency of minute, electrical impulses to the cells of an injured nerve, joint, muscle, or tendon using simple probes via contact with the skin’s surface. The electrical impulses facilitate the healing process by increasing the circulation and decreasing the inflammation in the injured area. The currents offer a corrective signal that normalizes abnormalities with no discomfort, side effects, overdoses, or over-stimulation.

Other forms of electrical stimulation treatment, such as with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) devices, differ from microcurrent therapy. The electrical stimulation produced through TENS devices does not therapeutically treat the injured area. Rather, the device sends an electrical stimulation that blocks the sensation of pain from being sent to the brain. Thus, the root of the problem is not treated, the sensation of pain is.

The Thorp Institute of Integrated Medicine microcurrent devices are designed to read the body’s response to electrical stimulation at the cellular level and adjust the electrical current sent into the body so that the root of the problem—the area of injury or pain—is addressed. The brain is not tricked into feeling no pain. The pain actually goes away because the problem itself is treated.

Individually tailored plans of three consecutive 60 to 90 minute treatments have a cumulative effect, which in most cases leads to permanent pain relief and/or greatly reduced pain levels. Depending on severity of condition or degeneration, it may take more treatments to see results. Thorp Institute has a 90% success rate.
