The Equicurrent uses a highly sophisticated but user friendly medical instrument which is designed to allow the application of electrodes or silver mesh sleeves/wraps to virtually any area of the horse and to almost all acu-points on the horses body. The Equicurrent is manufactured within the class of electrical stimulators called TENS but is very different from a TENS as the amount of current is measured in millionths of an amp (Ua) called MENS which is closer to the bodies actual electrical current. MENS works on an intercellular level to help regenerate and repair damaged cells. The MENS is extremely effective on horses because their bodies are very receptive to the level of stimulations that MENS provides.

One of the main attributes of the Equicurrent is the versatility of the application of the device. The Equicurrent has been designed to work for all injured areas that may need treatment. In our instruction manual we cover specific placement patterns and treatment avenues.

Equicurrent delivers electrotherapy current through the skin via the meridian points to the injured tissue or therapy site on the horse. The Equicurrent provides electric current in millionths of an ampere. The Micro-current waves will relieve pain, increase the rate of healing, increase protein synthesis, stimulate the regeneration of injured tissue, stimulate lymphatic flow and relieve myofascial trigger points. Because the current flows at one millionth of an ampere it is delivered on the same scale as the current naturally found in each cell of the living horse, it is therefore physiologic.

Equicurrent is sub-sensory and cannot be felt while it is being delivered to the horse because there is not enough current to stimulate the sensory receptors. Traditional electrotherapy currents such as TENS, Interferential and Galvanic deliver current in milliamps, which is a higher level of current. They can cause muscle contraction as a result; which is not what you want for the horse.

Equicurrent increases ATP production by 500% in the horse. ATP is the primary molecule from which the horse’s body produces energy, and it is found in every cell of the horse’s body. In a study done by Ngok Cheng, M.D. entitled “The Effects of Electric Current on ATP Generation, Protein Synthesis and Membrane Transport.”, it was demonstrated that ATP production increased five times with currents from 50 uA to 1000 uA. With currents exceeding 1000 uA, which is the milliamp range, ATP production leveled, and with 5000 uA ATP production was reduced slightly.

The Equicurrent was also shown to increase protein synthesis and amino acid transport in the horse. Equicurrent applied to injured tissue supports the natural current flow in the tissue, allowing cells in the traumatized area to regain their flow of electrons. Trauma affects the electrical potential of the damaged cells. The injured area has a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue. This decreases electrical conductance through the injured area, and decreases cellular capacitance, leading to impairment of the healing process and inflammation. When Equicurrent is applied to the horse, resistance is reduced, allowing bioelectricity to flow through and reestablish normal function. This process helps to initiate and perpetuate the many biochemical reactions that occur in healing. In Frequency Specific Micro-current, specific frequencies are used for varying tissues and conditions, often providing softening of the tissue and decreased pain. This softening and the pain relief that comes with it seems to be long lasting and in many cases permanent for the horse.

With Equicurrent stimulation a gradient is produced when electrons at the cathode react with water molecules to form hydroxyl ions, while at the anodic side, protons are formed. As a result a proton and voltage gradient are established across the intervening tissues between the electrodes. The influence of the electric field and the concentration difference produce a proton current that moves from anode to cathode. Since the rate of proton formation at the anodic interface is equal to the rate of proton consumption at the cathodic interface, the net pH of the system, medium and tissue, remains undisturbed. As the migrating protons reach the mitochondrial membrane-bound H+-ATPase, ATP is formed.
