Microvas Therapy
Essentially, every tissue in the body has intrinsic electrical properties. Because of this, it has been found that they respond in some way to electrical stimulation. There have been many machines designed over the years to use electricity to affect the body in various ways to enhance the healing process. This proprietary technology, the general principles of Microvas are as follows:
The Microvas Vascular treatment System is the result of years of research and development. Microvas has been optimized to promote healing. Microvas works by causing muscle fasciculations and contraction relaxation cycles that effectively pump blood through the microcirculation, draining the venous beds and raising the oxygen levels. This in turn, supplies the oxygen and substrate necessary to greatly accelerate the healing process. Microvas has a potent effect on the microcirculation, which results in the dramatic responses to treatment. The Microvas electrical form stimulates angiogenesis and generation of denser capillary networks. The Microvas electrical form directly stimulates the activity of fibroblasts in the healing process. The electrical current is a deep penetrating current that affects all tissues from the skin to the bone. Technically, the Microvas system generates an electromagnetic force field between emitter pads. Most excitedly, Microvas can report success in improving the pain associated with neuropathy in diabetics. The mechanism of action is unknown and is suspected that the improvement in the pain results from improved circulation that nourishes the nerves or an unknown direct action on the nerves (www.microvas.com).
