It has long been accepted that low intensity electricity

has the potential to influence and alter biological and physiological processes. Research has shown that micro-current has the greatest potential of all present electrical stimulation based therapies.

Cellular activity and intercellular communication is regulated chemically and electrically and this biological communication process is essential to the maintenance of most physiological processes and is a vital function to repair damaged tissue. Measurable research outcomes indicate that a controlled and cell specific micro-current application stimulates, restores and optimizes the intra/extra-cellular molecular balance; for example it results in a significant increase in the uptake of amino-isobutyric acid which is essential for protein synthesis and trans-membrane transport. This results in a quicker regenerative cycle which facilitates a speedier and better quality repair of damaged tissue.

Injury

An injury or trauma can cause, in simple terms, an electro-chemical disorder which can stop or slow down the normal physiological process, such as healing. This does not always result in the cells being damaged permanantly, but the critical communication pathway between cells providing molecular and protein transfer being disrupted.

Synapse Micro-current

The passing of Synapse's proprietary current sequence and parameters, which are specific to the function and characteristics of the target cell type (in the damaged area) work to reignite a pathways between the damaged or affected cells.
