| Publisher Description: A new edition of this book is now available.Micro Current Technology has several significant features in its favor: there is already substantial evidence that it can promote healing in a variety of tissue types and disorders, especially where other approaches have failed; it may help redress an underlying physiological dysfunction as well as reducing its symptoms; its mechanism of action appears to be as a trigger or facilitator of the whole healing process, unlike some new approaches such as exogenous growth factors, which have specific targets in the healing cascade. Reported side-effects of MCT are few and minor, and it can be provided by a small, portable generator, over an extended period where necessary, requiring minimal therapist supervision once initiated. The therapy has been shown to be most beneficial when it is used as part of a broader management strategy. Given these characteristics, the potential for MCT in a range of recalcitrant musculoskeletal disorders is worthy of closer attention by both research and clinical communities. Poltawski, L and Watson, T: Physical Therapy Reviews 2009 VOL 14 NO 2 (105-114)]Yet another paper was effusively positive and said: the correct form of electromedical intervention will often have a profound and usually immediate effect on pain. ... Even at its present state of evolution, electromedicine offers an unprecedented conservative, cost-effective, fast, safe and powerful tool in the management of the pain patient. As such it should be the first priority on the list of treatment options. Kirsch, Daniel L. PhD (2002) Pain Management: A Practical Guide for Clinicians (6th ed.)
