Why Microcurrent Sympathetic “threshold” TENS=Over 1 Ma Sympathetic:
for Brain Healing? 1.0 Millamp of Current Microcurrent=Under 1 Ma Over 1 milliamp (ma)
TENS/AC stimulation
Microcurrent has been clinically proven
to closely approximate the body’s naturally Parasympathetic:
occurring cellular bio-electric currents. Under 1 milliamp (mca)
MENS/DC stimulation
Microcurrent (millionth of amp <=1ma)
has been scientifically proven to accelerate
ATP, protein synthesis, metabolism,
and regulation the autonomic nervous system,
key actions for healing the brain and body.
* AC is man made, DC is found in nature.
Research supports currents above 1ma (>=1ma AC TENS and AC Electro-
acupuncture (EA), as inhibiting ATP, metabolism and increasing sympathetic
stress. Note below stress response difference between AC and DC currents.
Modality Stress
MPS (D/C) -41%
Acupuncture -3%
Massage
TENS (A/C) +10%
+18%
