Are you familiar with Microcurrent therapy? Do you know the power of its healing vs. other types of electrical stimulation? If you don’t - its time you did.
As an athlete, where soft tissue injuries are common (from strains and sprains in ligaments, tendons, and muscles to tears of varying severity you can’t afford not to know. R.I.C.E. is nice and yet old and antiquated. We have better technologies now.
Microcurrent therapy can assist you to heal 50-75% faster. Currently, in the hands of an experienced practitioner it can help you get back into the game faster than conventional medicine and rehabilitation alone. There are many studies and cases that demonstrate its effectiveness.
Herm Schneider, A.T.C., Head Athletic Trainer for the Chicago White Sox, is reported as saying that "We have just about excluded ice and routine treatments for sprains and bruises, and we treat players immediately as they come out of the game." And, "As an athletic trainer in Major League Baseball I deal with a variety of injuries. However, I realize that the most important treatment many times is the first one, and for me Microcurrent is the obvious choice. Because of the ease of use, portability and cost…"
Atheletes were among the first to benefit from the Microcurrent therapy. The first Microcurrent devices for therapeutic application were developed in time for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The Olympic athletes experienced and witnessed significant results in pain reduction, changes in injury healing and performance enhancement.
The devices went on to become something primarily available to the elite professional sport and Olympic athletes which continues somewhat today. Athletes livelihood depends on receiving the best, most effective and efficient therapeutic treatments available in order to stay in their high pressure, high paying roles where injury is just an innate part of the job. The huge physical abuse an athlete’s body sustains must be counteracted with the most sophisticated, effective treatment available. Microcurrent therapy meets the criteria for fast, efficient treatment.
Athletic trainers in the know give Microcurrent therapy an extremely high efficiency rating. Ask the training staf of MLB’s Chicago White Sox or the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles. Also, many athletes carry their own Microcurrent equipment to help them maintain their optimum strength and coordination.
Here are just a few well known examples of microcurrent’s use in athletics:
Herm Schneider, A.T.C., Head Athletic Trainer for the Chicago White Sox, is reported as saying that “We have just about excluded ice and the routine treatments for sprains and bruises, and we treat players immediately as they come out of the game.”* And, "As an athletic trainer in Major League Baseball I deal with a variety of injuries. However, I realize that the most important treatment many times is the first one, and for me Microcurrent is the obvious choice. Because of the ease of use, portability and cost…”
Dr. Carolyn McMakin reports that Bill Romanowski brought frequency specific Microcurrent to the Oakland Raiders with his chiropractor and that Tony Parrish and Terrell Owens were treated along with eight linemen from the San Francisco 49ers in August 2003 by Dr. McMakin. Now, NFL teams and athletes from other sports are using frequency specific Microcurrent in record numbers. A member of the Philadelphia Eagles training staff reports to us that the results are impressive and consistent.
New injuries heal in record time. In animal studies, Microcurrent increases the rate of ATP production by 500% and has been shown to reduce inflammation by 62% in four minutes.
Imagine these benefits applied to new injuries and you can see why Jeff Spencer takes his frequency specific Microcurrent units with him when he treats the US Postal team on the Tour de France.
When Terrell Owens was injured in December 2004 and wanted to be able to play in the Super Bowl 6 weeks later, frequency specific Microcurrent was there when he got out of surgery and was a part of the team who made his amazing recovery and spectacular performance possible in Super Bowl 2005. Everyone said the injury needed 13 to 18 weeks to heal and remodel. Frequency specific Microcurrent, Terrell and the treatment team did it in 6 weeks.
Here are just a few other well-known reports – there are many others too numerous to mention:
Bo Jackson was signed by the White Sox as a free agent before the 1991 season after he was released by the Kansas City Royals. Gary Emerson, D.C., Santa Ana, California, consultant for many well-known sports figures, at the request of White Sox’s Herm Schneider, A.T.C., used Microcurrent as part of Jackson’s rehabilitation, and Bo appeared in 23 games with the White Sox. After undergoing hip replacement surgery in 1992, Bo was treated with Microcurrent therapy immediately afterward to speed recovery.*
Reported by Godfrey, marathon swimmer Paul Asmuth sought aid for myositis (inflammation of the muscle) and capsulitis (inflammation of the capsule) of the shoulder only days before a 21-
mile marathon swim that included a punishing final stretch against the tide. “After five Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse treatments (Microcurrent device) Asmuth was able to outdistance a swimmer ten years his junior, finishing second and providing how rapidly his shoulder condition had improved.*
It is reported that Gary Carter, pitcher for New York Mets ….. following surgical repair of a partial tear of the radial collateral ligament in his thumb, noticed pain reduction after 5 or 10 minutes of Microcurrent therapy. Thirty minutes later, he had no pain and had complete range of motion. Microcurrent shortened his recovery by more than half of the time for treating sport injuries.
Mike Hayes, cornerback for the LA Raiders, has his own unit after being treated for an ankle injury and felt results immediately. Dan Silver, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon for the Joffrey Ballet, the NFL League Players Association, LA Raiders and Rams, use it for these big league clients.
Microcurrent therapy helped NBA basketball player, Magic Johnson of the L.A. Lakers (1987-1988); N.Y. Mets catcher, Gary Carter (1987); four-gold medal Olympian Carl Lewis; and other notable sports figures in speeding tissue healing, and improving the recovery from their sports-related injuries (13, 26)
