New scientific research has confirmed an exciting premise that the horse’s body, like that of humans, is as much electrical in nature as it is biochemical. The idea that electricity has a basis for control of living tissue was largely brought to the medical forefront by Robert O. Becker, MD.

Dr. Becker is a leading pioneer in the field of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living organisms. The research that led to the discovery of Microcurrent therapy was conducted in part by Dr. Becker, the author of "The Body Electric" and "Cross Currents" and a national authority on electro-therapy.

Electrotherapy has come into the forefront in recent years as a safe and effective method for alleviating pain. Scientific studies support the basic theory behind the modality and the concept of electro medicine is no longer thought of as an alternative application, but is fast becoming an integral part of traditional medicine treatment. Electro-therapy is an important tool for doctors and health professionals in their fight against pain.

If you have had a broken leg or arm or have been treated for pain in the hospital, you have probably experienced the use of electrical muscle stimulation treatment. Usually these treatments use milli-amp (one thousandth of an ampere) electro stimulation for short-term pain relief. These units are referred to as TENS units.
