Treatment of Sports Injuries with Microcurrent Stimulation Acute and chronic injuries of the joints or tendons or muscles result in significant inflammation and often a great deal of swelling in the area involved. Pain is often a significant problem. The inflammation and swelling that accompany any injury interferes with the body's ability to heal these tissues. When you see your regular physician with injuries such as this, the first line of treatment is often anti-inflammatory medications and ice. The use of microcurrent stimulation to treat injuries affects the tissues at the cellular level. To metabolism is improved and there is actually a quite dramatic decrease in the amount of inflammation following treatments. Treatments must often be done daily or twice daily for the best effect in the first few days following the injury. With the improvement in cellular function, there is usually a tremendous decrease in the amount of swelling and pain. The use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice often companies treatment with microcurrent stimulation in order to bring the maximum relief, though there are some practitioners who avoid the anti-inflammatory drugs to avoid some of the negative side effects that these drugs bring which can actually serve to delay and interfere with healing. There have been tremendous advances in the technology of microcurrent stimulation, and it is prudent to make sure that your practitioner is using the latest generation of machines. Not all machines that provide electrical stimulation for medical use are equal. Return to Microcurrent Stimulation Home Page
