A treatment method effectively using the physiological action Although we do not notice, our bodies generate very weak electricity from various parts of the body including the brain, heart, muscles, and nerves. This electricity is called bioelectricity. The bioelectricity plays an essential role for the normal functioning of our bodies. Our bodies sensitively react to electric stimulation applied from the outside and cause various changes. The method to treat abnormality of bioelectricity, which is manifested as stiffness or pain, by effectively using the above mentioned action is called electrotherapy, of which low-frequency therapy is typical.

Pumping action of muscles Muscles contract and relax with the flow of the low-frequency current. This helps to activate the pumping action of the heart. When the muscle relaxes, a large amount of blood flows in, and when the muscle contracts, the blood containing wastes is pumped out. With repeated actions, the blood flows smoother and the blood circulation is improved. Shutting out pain signal When low-frequency current flows to the region experiencing pain, it acts on the transmission mechanism of pain. Thus low-frequency current is said to reduce the transmission of pain to the brain.
