Did you know that your entire body is electrical? Every second, a small cluster of cells in the heart produces an electrical pulse that keeps the organ beating. With each beat, the heart pumps out blood that travels throughout the body, keeping you alive. That’s not all. Cells use charged atoms and molecules called ions to generate electrical signals that power vital processes in the body including digestion, circulation, movement, and brain function.
Injuries and illness can disrupt these electrical frequencies, making it harder for your body to heal itself. But you can return these frequencies back to normal and support your body’s natural electrical circuitry with the help of something called microcurrent therapy.
What is microcurrent therapy?
Pliny the Elder, the visionary Roman naturalist. He was the one who first proposed using electric eels to cure headaches. And that was the beginning of microcurrent therapy… no joke.
Then, 2000 years ago, there was a huge division in the scientific community — one group of scientists insisted the body was chemical, the other group claimed it was electrical. I probably don’t have to tell you that the chemical guys won, which is why we have “big pharma” and so many of our modern-day assumptions about how the body works. But the truth is, the body is far more complex than either of these groups realized — it’s both chemical and electrical. While there’s certainly a place for chemical treatments, you want to do what you can to support your body’s electrical system. That’s where microcurrent therapy comes in.
How microcurrent therapy works
Microcurrent therapy sends low-level electrical currents into your skin that are nearly identical to the body’s own natural electrical frequencies
. Running a current over your body adds more electrons to your system, helping you make energy more quickly and stimulating tissue and cellular repair. The technology works at the
cellular level, increasing adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the energy currency in your cells and the body’s most basic fuel. It also
boosts your body’s absorption of amino acids —
the building blocks of protein — and
forms proteins in the cells that produce collagen in the skin.

You may have heard of or even tried something called a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) machine, which uses mild electrical shocks to treat pain. Microcurrent therapy works in a similar way, but the electrical currents are extremely weak, so you typically won’t feel a thing. While the goal of TENS is short-term relief of chronic pain, microcurrent is aimed at longer-term relief and healing, and offers a host of other benefits.
A physical therapist (or yourself) places electrodes on target areas of the body, or places electrodes on hands and feet. The therapy is safe and FDA-approved. But if you’re pregnant or wear a pacemaker, give it a pass.
The benefits of microcurrent therapy
Microcurrent therapy is used to treat many things, including wounds, sports injuries, and skin sagging — it really is a great tool to have in your arsenal. People use electrical stimulation their muscles and feel a massive improvement in pain from earlier injuries. Here’s some of what it can do:
- Reduces back, neck, and joint pain
- Heals tendons
- Increases oxygenated blood flow to tissues
- Grows new nerves
- Reverses or stops macular degeneration
- Lessens headaches
- Improves fibromyalgia symptoms
- Tones the skin and stimulates collagen production
- Reduces fatigue
- Help recover from exercises twice as fast
