Mechanics beyond HT
HT is a simultaneous combination of the biochemical and bioelectrical effects of current on the human body. It is based on the premise that bioelectrical changes in living tissues are closely linked with biochemical changes, and vice-versa. By applying one form of therapy having both effects, one obtains a synergistic effect via improved communication between the cells. This principal of functional imitation results in improvements in its therapeutic effect.
From the functional standpoint, the effects that are induced by HT in relation to symptomatic components of pathology are the reduction of pain, excess muscular recruitment, and improvements in range of motion (ROM) as an indirect effect of rigidity outside the joints and improve deficiency in motor functional activity as the result. HT has demonstrated the ability to increase ATP production within cells. This means increased energy production. Recent research has also shown that HT increases production of catalase, gluthathione and reactivation of Super Oxidase Dismutase which works to reduce dangerous free radicals resulting from cellular oxidation. Additionally, HT has shown to increase protein synthesis, tissue regeneration, bacterial destruction and improved immunomodulation. This accounts for many studies reporting a “permanent healing” effect as the result of HT.
Can I benefit from Horizontal Therapy?
Most pain patients experience tremendous benefits from Horizontal Therapy. Any patient that experiences chronic pain and/or suffers from a circulatory disorder may benefit from treatment. Patients beginning a treatment course with Horizontal Therapy often experience significant benefits within the first three treatment sessions. Although results can vary depending upon the patient’s condition, Horizontal Therapy has often proved effective as an alternative treatment when other options have failed.
Horizontal Therapy Vs Pharmacological drugs?
Horizontal Therapy uses electricity to initiate your body’s natural function. Drugs are chemically based and influence the body chemically. However, the chemical reactions of drugs also create electrical effects in the human body. Horizontal Therapy works in a similar way, but it directly uses electricity to affect electrical and chemical processes in the body. No other form of bioelectric therapy can influence both electrical and chemical processes at the same time at the same treatment area. Just as a pharmacy has many different drugs to treat different ailments, Horizontal Therapy has different electrical signals to influence the body in order to treat a wide range of ailments with virtually no negative side effects.
What can I expect from the Horizontal Therapy treatment?
The primary objectives are to provide immediate temporary pain relief and to gain long-term pain relief by treating the condition causing the pain. You can expect a mild tingling often described as relaxing and comfortable.
