Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-level electrical currents to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall function. At Central DuPage Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, we offer microcurrent therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to patient care.

How Does Microcurrent Therapy Work?

Our bodies naturally produce electrical currents that facilitate cellular communication and function. In cases of injury or disease, these electrical signals can be disrupted, hindering the healing process. Microcurrent therapy delivers gentle electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural signals, restoring cellular communication and promoting tissue repair. Unlike other forms of electrical stimulation, the currents used in microcurrent therapy are so subtle that patients typically do not feel any sensation during treatment.

Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy

• Pain Reduction: By normalizing cellular activity, microcurrent therapy can alleviate both acute and chronic pain.

• Decreased Inflammation: The therapy aids in reducing inflammation, facilitating a quicker recovery.

• Enhanced Healing: Restoring the body’s natural electrical balance accelerates tissue repair and regeneration.

• Improved Range of Motion: Patients may experience increased flexibility and mobility following treatment.
