Alle gesunden Zellen weisen neben den anatomischen Strukturen auch ein elektrisches Kraftfeld auf. Dieses elektrische Feld wird hauptsächlich vom Elektronen- und Protonenfluss gesteuert. Alle Lebensprozesse, nicht nur beim Menschen, sind abhängig von diesem Elektronen- und Protonenfluss zwischen Atomen und Molekülen. Gesundheit steht für einen harmonischen Elektronenfluss, denn das bedeutet auch einen harmonischen Energie- und Informationsfluss. Ohne diese Grundlagen kann kein Leben existieren.  Das Leben nur biochemisch zu erklären, ist zu vereinfacht- ohne die moderne Biophysik geht es nicht!

Bei einer Zellzerstörung kommt es zum Stop dieses Energieflusses, bei einer Belastung mit Giftstoffen kommt es typischerweise zu einer Blockade der Energie- und Informationsgewinnung und auch zu einer Blockade des Transportes an den Membranen (z.B. Zell- oder Mitochondrienmembran). Im erkrankten Gewebe sinkt die Energieladung der Zellen stark ab, ab einem bestimmten Wert ist die Zelle nicht mehr überlebensfähig.

Ausschlaggebend für den Einsatz und den Erfolg der Mikrostromtherapie ist die Art des Energieverlustes der Zellen / des Gewebes. Die Mikrostromtherapie ist nahezu nebenwirkungsfrei. In unserer Praxis wird die Mikrostromherapie als begleitendes (adjuvantes) Verfahren besonders eingesetzt bei allen Arten von Schmerzen, zur Entsäuerung des Bindegewebes und zur Steigerung der Energiebildung (ATP) sowie der Mitochondrienfunktion.

Folgende Krankheitsbilder oder Beschwerden lassen sich mit der Mikrostromtherapie behandeln:

• Orthopädie / Chirurgie –  Wundheilung, Infekte, Frakturen, dystrophische Syndrome wie versteifte Schulter, Kapsel- und Bandverletzungen, Sehnenbeschwerden, Arthrosen, Fibromyalgie, Wirbelsäulensyndrome, Durchblutungsstörungen, Lymphabflussstörungen, postoperative Regeneration, Muskelverletzungen, Blutergüsse, Überlastungssyndrome
• Plastische Chirurgie / Dermatologie – Akne, Aknenarben, Problemhaut, unreine Haut, Rötungen, rote Äderchen, Narben, Lichtschäden, irritierte und gereizte Haut, Faltenbehandlung, Z.n. Operationen.
• Gewebsstraffung, Cellulitebehandlung – Anregung des Lymphflusses, Stärkung des kollagenen Bindegewebes, chronisch offene Wunden (Ulcus cruris)
• Zahnmedizin – Parodontitis, Gingivitis, Zahnlockerung, nach Operationen (Zahnextraktionen), Implantologie (Einheilung / Entzündung), Zahnprophylaxe, postoperative Schwellungen, Kiefergelenksarthrose
• Anästhesie / Neurologie – Schmerztherapie (akut, chronisch, postoperativ), Wirbelsäulensyndrome, Kopfschmerzen, Migräne, Neuralgien / Nervenschmerzen
• Akupunktur, Elektroakupunktur, Triggerpunkttherapie, Meridiantherapie
• Innere Medizin – Magenentzündungen, Darmentzündungen
• Sport / Muskelregeneration – Gelenkschmerzen, Sehnen- / Kapselschmerzen, Blutergüsse, Prellungen, Leistungssteigerung

Schmerztherapie mit Mikrostrom

Patienten mit chronischen, aber auch mit akuten Schmerzen sprechen meistens gut auf die Therapie an. Über zwei Elektroden werden schwache Stromimpulse durch die schmerzende Region geleitet. Diese Impulse beeinflussen den Energiestoffwechsel und können die Schmerz auslösenden Mechanismen sowie die Schmerzempfindung im Gehirn positiv beeinflussen.

Es gibt verschiedene Programme für die unterschiedlichen Symptome bzw. Erkrankungen, und die Behandlungsdauer variiert zwischen 20 und 60 Minuten. In der Regel werden 5 bis 15 Anwendungen in kurzer Reihenfolge gegeben (z.B. täglich oder alle zwei Tage).
