Therapies
MediCupping
What is it?
MediCupping® is a modern form of vacuum therapy that combines traditional cupping principles with mechanically controlled negative-pressure technology. Unlike stationary cups that remain in place, MediCupping uses a vacuum machine to create rhythmic suction-and-release cycles as the cups are moved over the skin. This dynamic negative-pressure approach gently lifts and decompresses soft tissues rather than compressing them, producing a unique therapeutic effect on the skin, fascia, muscles, lymphatic vessels, and connective tissues. The treatment is often described as “reverse massage” because it lifts tissues upward instead of pushing them downward. Practitioners use various cup sizes and suction settings to target structures throughout the body, from superficial lymphatic vessels to deeper fascial restrictions and muscular adhesions. MediCupping has become increasingly popular among massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and rehabilitation specialists because it offers a non-invasive way to address tissue restrictions while minimizing stress on both the practitioner and the patient.
What Can It Do?
MediCupping is commonly used to improve lymphatic drainage, enhance circulation, reduce pain, mobilize scar tissue, decrease fascial restrictions, and improve tissue mobility. The negative pressure created by the cups gently separates tissue layers that may have become adhered due to injury, inflammation, surgery, repetitive strain, or chronic postural stress. This decompression effect may improve local blood flow, facilitate fluid movement through the lymphatic system, and reduce congestion within soft tissues. Clinically, MediCupping is frequently used to treat myofascial pain, sports injuries, edema, post-surgical recovery, scar tissue management, plantar fasciitis, fibrotic tissue restrictions, joint stiffness, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Many practitioners also utilize lighter suction protocols for lymphatic drainage and post-operative care, while stronger suction protocols may be used for deeper fascial and muscular restrictions. Patients often report decreased pain, improved range of motion, reduced tissue tenderness, enhanced relaxation, and a feeling of reduced heaviness or swelling following treatment. Research on negative-pressure therapies suggests that suction-based interventions may help improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, influence inflammatory responses, and support recovery from soft tissue injuries, although more high-quality studies are needed to establish optimal treatment parameters and long-term effectiveness.
Links to Scientific Studies
Although research specifically examining MediCupping is limited, a growing body of literature on cupping therapy, vacuum therapy, and negative-pressure treatments supports many of the mechanisms MediCupping employs. A comprehensive review by Al-Bedah et al. (2018) examined the physiological effects of cupping therapy and reported evidence of benefits, including pain reduction, improved circulation, modulation of inflammatory processes, and enhanced local tissue perfusion. Researchers proposed that negative pressure may stimulate blood flow, influence immune responses, and promote healing through neurovascular and biochemical mechanisms.
More recent research on negative-pressure cupping interventions for delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) has shown that controlled suction pressures may reduce muscle pain and improve functional recovery after exercise. Investigators found that specific negative-pressure ranges appeared to produce measurable improvements in pain and recovery markers, suggesting a physiological basis for vacuum-based rehabilitation approaches.
A 2023 meta-analysis comparing dynamic cupping massage techniques with static cupping found that moving-cup approaches may offer advantages in pain reduction, disability improvement, and quality-of-life measures for certain musculoskeletal conditions. These findings are particularly relevant because MediCupping uses dynamic cup movement rather than stationary placement.
Additional evidence from studies of negative-pressure wound therapy shows that controlled suction can reduce tissue edema, increase local circulation, stimulate fibroblast activity, enhance collagen organization, and promote tissue healing. While wound-vacuum therapy differs from MediCupping, both therapies use negative pressure as a primary therapeutic mechanism and provide insight into how decompression may influence tissue physiology.

Key Takeaway
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
What is it?
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a specialized form of electrotherapy that uses extremely low-level electrical currents, measured in microamperes (millionths of an ampere), to support the body’s natural healing and regulatory processes. Unlike conventional electrical stimulation therapies such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), Interferential Current (IFC), or Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), FSM uses current intensities that are often below the threshold of sensory perception. As a result, most patients feel little or no sensation during treatment.
FSM was developed and popularized by chiropractor and researcher Carolyn McMakin beginning in the 1990s. The therapy is based on the concept that specific tissues and physiological conditions may respond differently to distinct frequency combinations. During treatment, practitioners typically apply two frequencies simultaneously—one intended to correspond to a specific tissue (such as muscle, nerve, fascia, tendon, ligament, bone, or lymphatic tissue) and another intended to correspond to a particular condition or dysfunction (such as inflammation, fibrosis, scar tissue, edema, trauma, or chronic pain). These frequency combinations are delivered through conductive pads, gloves, probes, or moist towels placed on the skin over the affected region.
The theoretical foundation of FSM is rooted in bioelectric medicine and the understanding that every cell in the body maintains an electrical membrane potential essential for cellular communication, nutrient transport, tissue repair, and physiological regulation. Healthy tissues generate measurable electrical currents that help coordinate healing after injury. When tissues are damaged, inflamed, or chronically stressed, normal bioelectrical signaling may be disrupted. FSM aims to deliver external microcurrents to support or restore these natural electrical processes.
Research on microcurrent therapy—not FSM alone—has demonstrated several important cellular effects. Laboratory studies have shown that appropriately dosed microcurrent can increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, enhance amino acid transport across cell membranes, stimulate protein synthesis, improve cellular metabolism, and support tissue regeneration. ATP is the primary energy source cells use for repair and maintenance. Increased ATP availability may enhance the body’s ability to heal damaged tissues, reduce recovery time, and improve physiological function.
FSM differs from many other electrotherapy modalities because its primary goal is not to block pain signals or stimulate muscle contractions. Instead, FSM aims to influence the underlying physiological processes that contribute to dysfunction. Practitioners commonly use FSM as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that may include massage therapy, myofascial release, physical therapy, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation, chiropractic care, and other manual therapies.
Clinically, FSM has been applied to treat acute injuries, chronic pain syndromes, nerve entrapments, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), scar tissue restrictions, peripheral neuropathy, headaches, inflammatory conditions, and autonomic nervous system disorders. Although many of these applications are supported by case reports, clinical observations, and emerging research, the scientific investigation of frequency-specific effects remains ongoing. As a result, FSM is best viewed as an evolving therapeutic modality that integrates principles of bioelectric medicine, tissue physiology, and rehabilitation science.
One distinctive aspect of FSM is its focus on identifying and addressing the source of dysfunction rather than solely managing symptoms. Practitioners often assess posture, movement patterns, tissue texture, pain distribution, and functional limitations to determine which frequency protocols may be most appropriate. This individualized approach has contributed to growing interest in FSM among healthcare professionals in pain management, rehabilitation, integrative medicine, sports medicine, and manual therapy.
Because FSM operates at current levels that more closely resemble naturally occurring biological currents, it is often described as a form of bioelectrical therapy designed to support the body’s intrinsic healing mechanisms rather than override them. This distinction has made FSM particularly attractive to practitioners seeking gentle, non-invasive interventions that can be integrated with hands-on therapeutic approaches.
What Can It Do?
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is used to support cellular repair, tissue healing, pain reduction, and restoration of normal function. The microcurrent delivered by FSM is measured in microamps, a level similar to the body’s own bioelectrical currents involved in tissue repair and cellular communication. Research on microcurrent therapy has shown that these low-level currents may increase cellular energy production (ATP), enhance protein synthesis, improve amino acid transport, and support membrane function. These physiological effects may contribute to faster recovery of injured tissues and improved healing responses.
Clinically, FSM is used to address acute and chronic pain conditions, muscle injuries, tendon and ligament dysfunction, nerve irritation, scar tissue restrictions, myofascial pain syndromes, edema, and inflammatory conditions. Practitioners frequently apply FSM in cases involving neck pain, back pain, sports injuries, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), post-surgical recovery, and chronic soft-tissue injuries. Many patients report reduced pain, improved mobility, decreased muscle guarding, and enhanced functional performance following treatment. FSM is often incorporated into multidisciplinary treatment programs alongside massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and rehabilitation exercise.
One proposed mechanism of FSM is the use of specific frequency combinations intended to influence both the affected tissue and the pathological process occurring within that tissue. For example, different frequency pairings may be selected to address inflammation in muscle tissue, fibrosis within connective tissue, nerve irritation, or edema. While the exact mechanisms by which specific frequencies exert their effects remain under investigation, clinical observations and emerging research suggest that frequency-specific stimulation may alter inflammatory signaling, improve tissue oxygenation, enhance circulation, reduce pain sensitivity, and facilitate tissue remodeling. Because the current used in FSM is extremely low, treatment is generally comfortable, with many patients feeling little or no sensation during therapy.
Links to Scientific Studies
Although Frequency-Specific Microcurrent is still considered an emerging therapy, a growing body of scientific literature supports the use of microcurrent stimulation for tissue healing, pain reduction, and functional improvement.
Laboratory studies conducted by Cheng and colleagues demonstrated that microcurrent stimulation can increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production by up to 500%, increase amino acid transport by 30–40%, and increase protein synthesis by approximately 70%. ATP serves as the primary energy source for cellular repair and regeneration, making these findings particularly significant for tissue healing and recovery.
Clinical research has demonstrated positive outcomes in several areas:
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS):
A study by Curtis et al. (2010) found that athletes receiving FSM experienced significant reductions in muscle soreness and improved recovery following strenuous exercise compared to control groups.
Chronic Low Back Pain:
Research by Shetty et al. (2020) demonstrated that patients receiving FSM in conjunction with rehabilitation experienced greater reductions in pain and disability scores than those receiving rehabilitation alone.
Connective Tissue and Fibrosis:
Studies by McMakin and colleagues reported measurable softening of fibrotic tissue, improved range of motion, and reduced pain following FSM treatment. Ultrasound imaging demonstrated changes in tissue density and texture after therapy.
Raynaud’s Syndrome and Scleroderma:
Recent pilot studies have shown improvements in circulation, hand function, and symptom severity in patients with scleroderma-related Raynaud’s phenomenon following FSM treatment.
Stress and Autonomic Nervous System Regulation:
Emerging research suggests that FSM may influence the balance of the autonomic nervous system, reducing sympathetic overactivity and improving measures of stress, sleep quality, and emotional well-being.
While these findings are encouraging, researchers emphasize that larger randomized controlled trials are needed to fully establish the effectiveness of FSM and determine optimal treatment protocols. Current evidence suggests that FSM may serve as a valuable adjunctive therapy for pain management, tissue repair, inflammation control, and functional rehabilitation when integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan.

Key Takeaway
Rezzimax
What is it?
Rezzimax® is a handheld, non-invasive neuromodulation device that uses precisely calibrated resonance vibrations and mechanical stimulation to influence the nervous system, particularly the trigeminal and vagus nerves and their associated cranial nerve pathways. Unlike electrical stimulation devices, Rezzimax delivers therapeutic vibrational frequencies via a tuning-fork-like attachment applied to specific regions of the head, neck, jaw, face, and upper cervical area. The device was originally developed to address chronic pain, headaches, migraines, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), stress-related disorders, and autonomic nervous system dysregulation. The underlying concept is that specific resonance frequencies may help normalize abnormal neurological signaling patterns, reduce excessive sympathetic nervous system activity, and improve vagal tone. Rezzimax is commonly used by physical therapists, chiropractors, dentists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and integrative healthcare practitioners as a non-pharmacological approach to nervous system regulation and pain management. The device is FDA-registered as a Class I medical device and is designed for use in clinical settings and at home.
What Can It Do?
Rezzimax is primarily used to help regulate the autonomic nervous system, reduce pain, improve relaxation, and support recovery from neurological and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Practitioners frequently use the device for migraines, tension headaches, TMJ disorders, facial pain, neck pain, post-concussion symptoms, anxiety, stress-related conditions, and vagus nerve stimulation protocols. The vibrational resonance is believed to influence sensory input carried by the trigeminal and vagus nerves to brainstem centers involved in pain modulation, autonomic regulation, inflammation control, and the stress response. By stimulating these pathways, Rezzimax may help shift the body from a sympathetic “fight-or-flight” state toward a parasympathetic “rest-and-repair” state. Patients often report decreased pain intensity, reduced muscle tension, improved sleep quality, enhanced relaxation, improved jaw mobility, and fewer headaches. Clinicians have also incorporated Rezzimax into rehabilitation programs for sensory integration, speech disorders, swallowing dysfunction, concussion recovery, and nervous system retraining. While many reported benefits are supported by clinical experience and early research, the exact mechanisms and optimal treatment protocols remain under investigation.
Links to Scientific Studies
Peer-reviewed research specifically examining Rezzimax devices remains limited; however, several studies have investigated the therapeutic principles underlying Rezzimax: resonance vibration therapy, cranial nerve stimulation, and vagus nerve neuromodulation.
A 2025 study in the Journal of Oral & Facial Pain and Headache used the Rezzimax® Tuner Pro II to treat headache disorders. Researchers reported promising findings supporting the feasibility of resonance-based vibration therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention for chronic headache management and recommended larger clinical trials to further evaluate its effectiveness.
A comprehensive 2026 review of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) summarized evidence supporting VNS for conditions including migraine, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, inflammatory disorders, stroke rehabilitation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and autonomic nervous system regulation. The review highlights how stimulation of vagal pathways can influence brain function, inflammation, pain perception, cardiovascular regulation, and stress. resilience. These mechanisms are central to many of the therapeutic claims associated with Rezzimax use.
Additional studies on transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation have demonstrated improvements in autonomic balance, heart-rate variability, stress regulation, cognitive performance, gastrointestinal function, and pain modulation. Researchers have shown that non-invasive stimulation of vagal pathways can influence neural networks involved in emotion regulation, inflammation control, sensory processing, and recovery from chronic disease. Although these studies were not conducted specifically on Rezzimax devices, they provide scientific support for the neurological pathways that Rezzimax aims to influence.

Key Takeaway
Deep Oscillation® Therapy
What is it?
The Deep Oscillation® Therapy performed with the Hivamat® 200 is a specialized medical device that delivers a patented form of therapy. Unlike traditional vibration therapy, percussion devices, or electrical stimulation modalities, the Hivamat 200 uses an intermittent electrostatic field to create gentle oscillations within the body’s tissues. During treatment, the patient holds a neutral electrode while the therapist uses specially designed gloves or applicators connected to the device. The electrostatic field causes the tissues to be rhythmically attracted and released between 5 and 250 times per second, creating a deep, resonant oscillation that can penetrate up to 8 centimeters beneath the skin. These oscillations affect the skin, fascia, connective tissue, lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, adipose tissue, and muscles simultaneously. Because the therapy creates movement within the tissue itself rather than applying external compression or percussion, it is considered exceptionally gentle and can often be used immediately after surgery, acute injury, or trauma when other manual therapies may be contraindicated. Hivamat therapy has been utilized internationally for more than 30 years in rehabilitation, sports medicine, lymphedema management, post-surgical recovery, pain management, and wound care.
What Can It Do?
The primary therapeutic effects of Hivamat 200 center on pain reduction, edema management, lymphatic drainage, tissue healing, fibrosis reduction, and restoration of mobility. The deep oscillations create a gentle pumping action throughout the body’s interstitial spaces, helping mobilize fluid, inflammatory byproducts, proteins, and cellular debris that often accumulate after injury, surgery, or chronic inflammation. Clinically, Hivamat is widely used for lymphedema, lipedema, post-surgical swelling, scar tissue management, fibrosis, sports injuries, tendonitis, muscle strains, hematomas, chronic pain syndromes, and post-traumatic edema. Research and clinical observations suggest that Deep Oscillation therapy may improve lymphatic circulation, reduce inflammation, accelerate wound healing, soften fibrotic tissue, decrease muscle tension, improve tissue flexibility, and promote faster recovery following injury or surgery. One of its unique advantages is that it can provide significant therapeutic effects with minimal pressure, making it especially valuable for patients who are highly sensitive to touch, recovering from surgery, experiencing acute pain, or unable to tolerate traditional deep tissue techniques. Many therapists also use Hivamat to enhance manual lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, rehabilitation programs, and sports recovery protocols.
Links to Scientific Studies
A growing body of scientific literature has investigated Deep Oscillation therapy and its effects on pain, edema, lymphatic function, fibrosis, and rehabilitation outcomes. One of the most frequently cited studies was conducted by Klaus Kraft and colleagues, who evaluated Deep Oscillation therapy in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. After ten treatment sessions, participants demonstrated significant improvements in pain levels, symptom severity, and quality of life. Researchers concluded that Deep Oscillation therapy was safe, well tolerated, and showed sustained benefits during follow-up assessments.
Additional studies have investigated Deep Oscillation therapy in the management of lymphedema, post-surgical edema, wound healing, and sports injuries. Research presented through rehabilitation and lymphatic therapy organizations has reported reductions in lymph volume, improvements in lymphatic flow, enhanced tissue healing, and decreased pain following treatment. Clinical reports have also demonstrated positive outcomes in athletes with acute ankle sprains, post-operative patients recovering from orthopedic and cosmetic procedures, and individuals with chronic fibrosis and scar tissue restrictions. Researchers propose that the oscillatory movement generated within the interstitial spaces improves fluid transport, supports lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammatory congestion, and facilitates tissue regeneration. While additional randomized controlled trials are still needed, the current evidence supports Deep Oscillation therapy as a safe adjunctive treatment for edema management, pain control, tissue healing, and rehabilitation.

Dolphin Neurostim
What is it?
The Dolphin Neurostim is a handheld microcurrent stimulation device designed to deliver brief, concentrated direct-current (DC) micro-impulses to specific neurological, trigger point, acupuncture, scar, and vagal stimulation points on the body. Unlike traditional electrical stimulation devices such as TENS units, which use much stronger currents to block pain signals, the Dolphin operates at microamp levels—thousands of times lower than conventional electrotherapy devices. The technology is commonly referred to as Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy and combines principles from acupuncture, neurology, myofascial therapy, and bioelectric medicine. The device incorporates a built-in point locator that helps practitioners identify areas of low skin resistance, which often correspond to acupuncture and neurological reflex points. Once located, the Dolphin delivers a brief microcurrent impulse intended to influence the autonomic nervous system, reduce sympathetic (“fight-or-flight”) stress activity, and support the body’s natural healing processes. The Dolphin Neurostim has received FDA clearance for the temporary relief of pain associated with sore, aching muscles and is used by healthcare practitioners in pain management, rehabilitation, sports medicine, physical therapy, massage therapy, and integrative healthcare settings.
What Can It Do?
Dolphin Neurostim is primarily used for pain management, scar tissue treatment, autonomic nervous system regulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and soft-tissue rehabilitation. Practitioners commonly apply the device to trigger points, acupuncture points, dermatomes, scars, and vagal stimulation sites to help reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, improve tissue mobility, and promote relaxation. One of the primary goals of MPS therapy is to reduce sympathetic nervous system overactivity, a state often associated with chronic pain, inflammation, muscle guarding, poor recovery, and stress-related disorders. By stimulating specific neurological points, Dolphin Neurostim may help increase parasympathetic (“rest, digest, and heal”) activity, leading to improved relaxation, enhanced circulation, reduced pain sensitivity, and improved recovery. Clinically, the device has been used for chronic neck and back pain, myofascial pain syndromes, post-surgical scars, peripheral neuropathy, headaches, sports injuries, TMJ dysfunction, fibromyalgia, and stress-related conditions. More recently, Dolphin Neurostim has also been used as a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device, with emerging applications in autonomic dysfunction, post-viral syndromes, long-COVID rehabilitation, anxiety, and stress regulation. While many clinical reports and pilot studies show promising results, ongoing research investigates the exact physiological mechanisms underlying these effects.
Links to Scientific Studies
A growing body of research has examined the effects of Dolphin Neurostim and Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy on pain, autonomic regulation, and tissue healing. One of the most cited studies, published by Armstrong et al. in 2017, investigated the use of MPS therapy for chronic neck pain. Researchers reported a 68% reduction in pain immediately after treatment and an overall 80% reduction at a two-day follow-up, suggesting significant short-term benefits for patients with chronic pain. Additional studies have reported improvements in autonomic nervous system balance, heart rate variability, scar tissue remodeling, and soft-tissue pain reduction following Dolphin Neurostim treatment. Research into vagus nerve stimulation has further demonstrated that low-level electrical stimulation may influence inflammatory pathways, autonomic regulation, pain perception, and recovery mechanisms. Emerging investigations have also explored the use of Dolphin Neurostim for long-COVID symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and respiratory complaints through auricular vagus nerve stimulation. Although many published studies report favorable outcomes, researchers consistently note the need for larger randomized controlled trials to better define treatment protocols, long-term effectiveness, and mechanisms of action.

Key Takeaway
Dolphin Neurostim is a specialized microcurrent device that combines bioelectric stimulation, trigger point therapy, acupuncture principles, and autonomic nervous system regulation into a single handheld treatment tool. Current evidence suggests it may help reduce pain, improve autonomic balance, promote scar tissue remodeling, stimulate vagal activity, and support recovery from chronic musculoskeletal conditions, making it a valuable adjunctive modality for rehabilitation and integrative healthcare.
Shockwave Therapy
What is it?
Experience Lasting Relief with Shockwave Therapy
If you are struggling with chronic pain or slow recovery from an injury, shockwave therapy may be the solution. This innovative treatment uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility—without surgery or medication
The clinical term for shockwave therapy is low-intensity shockwave therapy. It’s a noninvasive therapy that’s been used in orthopedics for years to help heal broken bones, injured ligaments, and injured tendons.
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative action on the bones, tendons and other soft tissues. Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall HEALING effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.
Shockwave therapy has been used to improve wound healing. Using targeted high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy can speed up tissue repair and cell growth.
Non-surgical treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions relating to tendons, particularly calcific tendinopathy, where painful deposits of calcium occur in healing tendons.
Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. It can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using acoustic waves.
Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative

PEMF Therapy
What is it?
Science teaches us that everything in the universe is energy. All energy is electromagnetic in nature. All atoms, chemicals and cells produce electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Every organ in the body produces it own signature bioelectromagnetic field. Science has proven that our bodies actually project their own magnetic fields and that all 70 trillion cells in the body communicate via electromagnetic frequencies. Nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange. When the electromagnetic activity of the body ceases, life ceases.
"The Body contains multiple electromagnetic fields with each tissue and organ having a unique electromagnetic signature, CAT scans and MRI take advantage of these unique signatures to create a map of the body's tissues using pulsed electromagnetic fields.While the diagnostic benefits of PEMF's are accepted and widely used,medical practitioners are still realizing the therapeutic benefits of PEMF's"
K. Holden:M.D
Now just imagine, reaching into the body and healing an imbalance without touching anything. This is what magnetic fields do. This is the essence of energy medicine. These “waves” are the future medicine. Magnetic fields are “like a breeze in the trees”. The branches and leaves are moving but nothing is seen to be doing it. The body is like air to a magnetic field. The body is transparent to these fields. This is the magic potential of magnetic fields.
How Do Magnetic Fields Affect Cells?
All cells in the body share common components, regardless of their type. One of the common constituents of all cells are ions. Ions are positively and negatively charged particles that conduct electro-magnetic pulses from within the cell. The electro-magnetic pulses allow the cell to function. Without ions, a cell can not live.
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell. Improved blood supply increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Improved calcium transport increases absorption of calcium in bones and improves the quality of cartilage in joints, decreasing pain dramatically. Acute and even chronic pain - also caused by osteoporosis - may disappear completely.
There are many scientific studies on the degree of effectiveness of Pulsed Magnetic Field therapy. It was found that disturbances in blood circulation and in metabolism play a key role in the development of diseases. Application of pulsed electro magnetic energy is based on more than 30 years of worldwide research carried out by renowned scientists. In addition there are many years of practical experience by thousands of physicians.
Scientific Proof
The efficiency of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been proved and demonstrated in many different ways over the years.
- Dark field microscopy proves that clustering in the erythrocytes can be cleared. This leads to: improved viscosity of the blood, improved blood flow, enlargement of the surface area, increased oxygen levels and reduced risk of thrombosis.
- Bone density measurements reveal a significant increase in bone density after treatment over a fairly long period of time.
- Infrared thermography measurements show a warming of the skin caused by improved circulation or rather a widening of the capillaries.
- The measurement of the skin conduction potential at acupuncture meridian points (PROGNOS) method records the regulation of energy in the body.
- A combined bio feedback measurement demonstrates he optimisation of a large number of bodily functions after only a few minutes of treatment with pulsed magnetic fields.
Photoplethysmography measurements indicate on average a 45% improvement in circulation in the area of microcirculation and an average increase of 25% in blood oxygen levels.

Photodynamic (AKA red light) Therapy
History of Light Therapy
Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman use of Light Therapy
Since the dawn of time, the medicinal properties of light have been recognized and utilized for healing. Ancient Egyptians constructed solariums fitted with colored glass to harness specific colors of the visible spectrum to heal disease. It was the Egyptians who first recognize that if you color glass it will filter out all of the other wavelengths of the visible spectrum of light and give you a pure form of red light, which is 600-700 nanometer wavelength radiation. Early use by the Greeks and Romans emphasized the thermal effects of light.
Light therapy or phototherapy (classically referred to as heliotherapy) consists of exposure to daylight or to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, light-emitting diodes, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, usually controlled with various devices. The light is administered for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a specific time of day.
What Can It Do?
Red and Infrared Light can be very healing and regenerative.
Red Light is a great stress reliever and is very beneficial to metabolism.
Due to the large amount of time we spend indoors, we are often deficient in exposure to Infrared Energy.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy
- Promotes relaxation and a sense of calm energy

Generally promotes youthful, healthy skin
Subnormal temperatures cause a shift from phagocytosis to inflammation. Light, especially the red light which penetrates easily into tissues, activates the formation of new cells as well as their differentiation.
It affects energy production, increasing the formation of mitochondria, and the activity of the DNA methyltransferase enzymes. Red light accelerates wound healing, and improves the quality of the scar, reducing the amount of fibrosis. The daily cycling between darkness and light is an important factor in regulating the birth and differentiation of cells.
Light Therapy Is Used For Many Areas
We live in troubled times in which we are losing the battle with health care costs, lack of insurance, losing our jobs, etc. and have to start taking the time and responsibility for our own health. We have to start thinking outside of the box in terms of what we can do for our own health
Red light therapy has found many uses in different areas. For example, it is used to treat a variety of skin diseases and it is used to treat mood and sleep related disorders as well. Let us have a look at the various places where light therapy is being used.
Acne
It has been known since a long time that sunlight helps cure the bacteria which cause acne. The visible violet light which is present in the sunlight activates a porphyrin that damages and kills the bacteria which cause acne. And this process does not cause any tanning or sunburn. This treatment has proved to be more effective than Benzoyl Peroxide which is often used to cure acne.
Infrared LED light stimulates your skin to produce collagen and elastin. The infrared light produced by LED lamps, aka photo rejuvenation, stimulates fibroblast cell activity in the skin, which increases the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for your skin’s tone and elasticity.
Psoriasis
One of the common problems of people suffering with psoriasis is skin inflammation. Narrow band ultra violet B rays are given as a light therapy on the skin surface which is inflamed. The ultra violet rays help suppress the inflammation on the skin.
Wound Healing
It has been found that infrared light releases nitrous oxide in the blood stream which increases the circulation of blood in the area where the light is directed. This is very helpful for people, who due to various diseases such as Diabetes find it very difficult to heal wounds on the surface of the skin. This is also helpful for patients suffering with Neuropathy, Ulcers and for patients whose blood circulation is improper
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
People with seasonal affective disorder go into depression like states during the winter months. This is seen in places where the amount of daylight is very less in these seasons (countries near the North Pole, for instance). The cure for these people is full sunlight. So, light boxes which replicate sunlight conditions are used for these patients. These use artificial illumination to re-create the fully lighted atmospheric conditions that are normally present in sunlight.
Depression
This is a non-seasonal kind of depression. But light therapy has shown interesting results in the treatment of such patients as well. A similar kind of treatment method is followed for treating these patients as with the people affected with SAD. The results are faster compared to the use of anti-depressants.
Sleep
Sleep disturbances increase as we age. Some studies report more than half of seniors 65 years of age or older suffer from chronic sleep disturbances. Researchers have long believed that the sleep disturbances common among the elderly often result from a disruption of the body’s circadian rhythms — biological cycles that repeat approximately every 24 hours. In recent years, scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Lighting Research Center and elsewhere have demonstrated that red light is the most effective at stimulating the circadian system when combined with the appropriate light intensity, spatial distribution, timing, and duration.
Can Red light therapy to improve vision?
There have been many studies testing the ability of red light to heal a number of retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and amblyopia, which we’re going to take a look at now.
10 patients served as controls and 193 patients with and without cataracts received four treatments of near-infrared laser therapy over a period of two weeks.
Power: 7.5mW
Wavelength: 780nm
Dose: 1.2 J/cm2
The treatment “significantly improved visual acuity” in 95% of eyes with cataracts and in 97% of eyes without cataracts. In addition, patients with wet AMD had reduced edema and bleeding. “The improved vision was maintained for 3-36 months after treatment (Ivandic BT, et al. 2008).”
Vision improved in patients with Ambylophyia (lazy eye)
In 2012 the same researchers conducted a study to see if near-infrared laser therapy could improve visual acuity in young and old patients with amblyopia. At the time of the study, amblyopia was believed to be treatable only in children.
178 patients were included; 20 controls received mock treatment and 158 received laser therapy to their eyes for 30 seconds at a distance of 1cm, repeated on average 3.5 times.
Power: 7.5mW
Wavelength: 780nm
Dose: 0.77 J/cm2
The treatment “led to a significant improvement in visual acuity” in 90% of eyes treated in both adolescents and adults. “The treatment effect was maintained for at least 6 months.”
How does red light improve vision?
Red light can interrupt the vicious cycle of stress in a number of ways, but here are two powerful ones. In fact, I think these are the two primary mechanisms behind the benefits of red light to the eyes in both studies above and in all studies where red light improved vision and helped the eyes heal.
Red light inhibits an enzyme involved with free fatty acid release (lipolysis) called COX-2 (Prianti AC, et al. 2014).
This breaks the cycle right then and there. No longer are free fatty acids released, which means they won’t reach the bloodstream, will not be used for energy, and will not result in the production of toxic metabolites, which promote further stress. But theres’ more.
In diseased eyes, there are likely already many toxic metabolites present in the area that need cleaning up by the body in order to restore proper cellular function
Red light happens to be a powerful antioxidant, so any existing free radical PUFA metabolites will be scavenged, neutralized and eliminated from the area and from the body (Silva Macedo R, et al. 2016). Between lipolytic inhibition and antioxidant activity, this is why red light is such a powerful medicine for healing eyesight. Of course, for long-term permanent resolution of eye conditions caused by excess unsaturated tissue phospholipids, a dietary change to more highly-saturated fat is essential. Unsaturated fats that you want to avoid include any oils that are liquid at room temperature. Fats that are highly stable and around 98% saturated include butter, coconut oil, chocolate fat and beef and lamb fat. Eating these will slowly over time shift the tissue phospholipid content from unsaturated to more highly saturated, which will result in better function of eye cells, and in all cells of the body. Cells comprised of stable fats are stable and resistant to oxidation, degeneration and aging.
Happiness, Confidence, Resourcefulness
Brings joy to our workday and strengthens our appetite for life! Red is the best emotional stimulant. It connects us to our senses and helps to remove inhibitions and makes us independent and social.
Personality Traits: Enthusiastic, happy, sociable, energetic, sporty, self-assured, and constructive.

Red stimulates the lungs, the respiration and the digestion.Increases the activity of the thyroid. Reliefs muscle cramps and spasms. Increases the amount of mother milk. Finally, red links very strongly with the sacral chakra.
Esoteric/magical: Deities of good luck and fortune. Attraction, charm, kindness, encouragement, stimulation, optimism, success, abundance, prosperity, feast and celebration, energy, achieving business-goals, investments, success in legal matters.
Preference for red represents the warmth of the fire. It brings even more energy than yellow, celebration and great abundance, comfort, enjoyment of the senses. Warm, sociable, dynamic and independent people who dedicate themselves to whatever they do.
Aversion to red: A person who has an aversion to red may have suppressed sexual feelings or other difficulties with sensual enjoyment of life. The attitude can also be over-sensual, indulgent, or too materialistic.
Migun Bed
What is it?
The Migun Bed
Migun Medical Instruments Company was founded in South Korea in 1988 and has since become the leader in far infrared medical therapy products throughout the world.
The Migun Bed provides cutting-edge pain, stress, and anxiety management therapy. It was designed using innovative modern technology to provide science-based natural medical therapy treatments, based on principles of chiropractic, acupressure, massage, and far infrared heat therapy. Migun is state-of-the-art whole body therapy that effectively aids in injury recovery and treats many chronic medical health issues as well as acute and chronic pain.
Multiple research studies on Migun Physiotherapy Tables have been conducted at universities in Korea, China and the University of California Irvine Medical School in the USA. Many physicians, acupuncturists, and chiropractors recommend that their patients use a Migun Bed to help alleviate, improve, or control a variety of chronic ailments and aid in injury recovery. The Migun thermal massage system was approved by the FDA as a Class II Medical device under the 510K regulations in 2003 and received over-the-counter clearance.
Migun's unique design
The internal Jade Massage Heads of The Migun Thermal Massage Bed is uniquely designed to apply heat, pressure, and massage accurately to those acupuncture points where the spinal nerve roots are located. Also, the lengthwise distance between Jade Massage Heads is also uniquely designed to give a support and relaxing stretch to the spine, not applying too much tension.
Effects of Oriental Medicine by Using Migun
The Migun Bed targets these acupuncture points along the spine with a precise, relaxing massage that would offer the same therapeutic benefits one would receive from a session of acupressure or acupuncture.
Finger Pressure Effect
Migun Thermal Massage accelerates blood circulation by warming up blood vessels around the spine, and at the same time, it supplies clean blood to the body by dissolving dirty blood lumps around the spine. Increasing the temperature inside the spine also helps generate blood from the marrow. Acupressure (finger pressing) effect and heat combined boost the energy level. The combination of acupressure and heat accelerates recovery of damaged or misaligned spine, eases pain, and speeds up the rate of metabolism.
Massage Effect
The Internal Jade Massage Heads automatically massage muscles and tendons around the spine, relieving tension and unblocking clogged blood vessels and energy channels. Massaging the spinal area relaxes hardened nerve roots and improves the circulation of energy. As a result, the organs will become stronger and increase their ability to fight diseases. In both western and oriental medicine, massage has long been used as a method of natural healing. It is also one of the best relaxation techniques.
Jade Effect
What is Jade?
In oriental medicine and history, jade is known as a mysterious healing stone that produces longevity, and royal families favored it for its miraculous effect on the human body. Looking at various oriental medical books, jade is well known for healing stressed organs and discharging toxins. It slows the process of cell aging, and has the excellent ability to strengthen the body's natural defenses and healing power. Jade is also known to help the circulation of 'Chi' inside our bodies.
Components of Jade
Jade contains vital elements for the human body, such as the minerals, calcium, magnesium, and water. 40% of these elements is magnesium, which also is a major component of chlorophyll. Human cells are also constituted with magnesium, so the Chi radiation from Jade is the same waveform that comes from human cells. Hence, the fluctuation from Jade penetrates into a human body evenly to produce better health conditions through re-activation of biological tissue, better blood circulation, soft alkalinization of blood, and detoxification.
Far Infrared Rays
Since Migun Thermal Massage uses far infrared rays, it is also extremely important to use Jade as it is the best known natural transmitter of far infrared rays. When heated, jade emits negative ions, which are essential for the body's natural anti-aging system.
Infrared waves are between visible light and microwave rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.The wavelength of the infrared waves vary from 0.76 microns to 1,000 microns - near infrared ranging from 0.76 to 1.5 microns, mid infrared from 1.5 to 4 microns, and far infrared from 4 to 1,000 microns. Characteristics of infrared waves are that it radiates or spreads from a localized source, it naturally generates heat by causing the body’s molecules to rapidly vibrate against each other, and unlike visible light, it can deeply penetrate skin and the underlying tissues. It is a form of energy that heats objects directly through conversion without heating the air between.
The human body absorbs infrared in the 3-50 micron range. The far infrared waves between 7 to 14 microns have proven to have special regenerative effects on the body, with an optimum absorption at the 9.4 micron frequency. Our palm emits infrared energy between 8 to 14 microns. Palm healing, which has a 3,000-year-old tradition in China, has been based on the healing of these natural infrared rays. The yogis of India also used such palm healing and recommended it especially for relieving eyestrain. Migun Thermal Massage Bed output is between a 7.5 to 10 micron range for maximum benefits to our body.
FAR infrared heat waves benefit our body by:
- Dilating blood vessels/capillaries, providing increased flow of rich oxygenated blood to muscles & joints
- Reducing muscle spasms, promoting healing of injured or sore muscle fibers
- Improving flow of lymph system to reduce swelling and inflammation
- Stimulating cellular and enzyme activity
- Raising white blood cell count – greater immunity
- Promoting the adhesion and osmosis of water molecules across the cellular membrane
Due to such wide therapeutic uses of far infrared, doctors in Europe and Japan have conducted extensive research and found that far infrared waves speed removal of toxins from the body, which are often major contributors to various health problems. Numerous toxins are absorbed and stored in our bodies. Toxic gases like Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, and substances like Lead, Mercury, and Chlorine are encapsulated by large water molecules. When toxins are present in the body, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. The body’s immune system is inhibited, which makes it difficult for the body to fight disease. However, when 10 microns of far infrared is applied, the large water molecules vibrate and breakdown the ion bond to release the encapsulated gases and toxic materials. Such phenomenon is called resonant absorption.
What Can It Do?
Benefits
The Migun Bed provides cutting-edge pain, stress, and anxiety management therapy.
Regular use of Migun therapy will help reduce or eliminate most types of chronic pain, with many users reporting the ability to reduce or eliminate certain medications.
Targeted massage and acupressure allow you to relax and rest the autonomic nervous system, helping to recover from injury as well as reduce the symptoms and associated detrimental health effects caused by excess stress and anxiety.
As we age, our muscles tend to tighten and calcify and as a result, we lose flexibility. Migun Bed Therapy helps to relax and stretch muscles, release fascia and break up calcification, increasing flexibility over time.
Benefits from Migun therapy are cumulative; the more frequent the treatments, the better the outcome. Although most users report feeling positive effects in a few days to a few weeks after using Migun therapy consistently, each person’s health is unique – some people may feel results with a single session while others may need a month or longer to experience results.
Treatment on the Migun Bed physiotherapy device is an enjoyable, relaxing experience
- During your Migun Bed session, you will remain fully clothed; simply remove your belt and shoes and lie on the table on your back.
- Once treatment begins, you will feel the specially designed and patented far infrared heated jade therapy heads, gently moving along each side of your spine from the top of your head to the tip of your tailbone and up and down the back of each leg,providing a full body therapy treatment.
- Optional padding of different densities is available to suit your needs. Over time, as your muscles relax and your body adjusts to treatment, you may find that you need less padding and eventually eliminate it altogether. However, until you reach that point, it is important to remember that Migun Therapy does not work faster without padding; it works best when you are relaxed and not tensing your muscles. Please listen to your body and use padding as needed.
- It is normal to experience mild soreness after treatment, especially if you are new to bodywork. This soreness will dissipate over a short time and will decrease with consistent treatments.
