While most microcurrent treatments are specific to painful or dysfunctional parts of the body, sometimes it is valuable to spread the subtle currents throughout the body for general balancing and toning. This is especially valuable when patient’s meridians are weak and the pulse is hard to read. Here are some methods for doing that with the Acutron system:
Here are several ways to get the microcurrent to spread out throughout the body:
1) Using microlight probes – select Probe preset #2 and place the + probe on an upper body area such as head or upper back. Place – probe on lower extremity or feet acupoints. Select color to match need of patient – red for increasing Yang energy, Blue for calming, Green for balancing, Violet for deeper calming, Magenta for emotional balance, etc. I have often done this to connect GV 20 (Du 20) on the head with + probe to GV (Du) 1 with the – probe – very profound effects.
2) You can do the Voll quadrant treatment – Use uA Pad preset #1 (default is 10 Hz frequency, 50 uA, biphasic polarity), place 2 pad electrodes on the two palms of hands using Channel A, let current run for 10 minutes. You can also do this on the two soles of feet. Make sure they drink lots of water with this one. Boosts all meridians at the 10 Hz.
3) You can purchase an optional brass foot plate for patients to put their bare feet on using the red hand mass cable connection. Then use the trigger probe with color to treat scalp acupoints or other upper body major points. Great for neurological post stroke patients.
