All neural activity is associated with the action potential. Most chemical interventions become electrical events. We therefore introduce the concept of treating inflammation with specific parameter electronic signal therapy (EST), defined as a digitally produced sinusoidal electronic signal with associated harmonics to produce desired physiological effects. The signals are produced by advanced electronics not available even ten years ago.
The EST energy device uses frequency modulation (FM) alone or amplitude modulation (AM) combined with FM as the basis for signaling the bio-system to initiate complex biochemical responses and actions, e.g., hormone imitative effects, second-messenger formation (cAMP), inhibition of contraction of smooth muscle, vasodilatation, membrane stabilization, and others.
VACUUM ELECTRODES
Vacuum electrodes enhance the effects of the electrical energy fields and are a billable component. Some of the benefits of vacuum electrodes are as follows.
Vacuum cups draw blood to the surface to create a blood pool three times the diameter of cup for expanded area of concentration of electrical energy into tissue.
Vacuum draws blood to the surface and pumps it away to move edema and toxins from the injured area being treated.
Wet sponge inside vacuum cup increases the concentration of electrical signal and significantly reduces skin impedance.
