The science behind the MCT approach is rooted in the fields of Diathermy and Microcurrent technologies.
Since 2003, the Italian Biologist Dr Emanuel Paleco has refined the theraputic use of the following two “seed” technologies to develop a unique non-invasive and drug-free treatment that allows a practitioner to administer multiple synergistic stimulation to the body using just one medical device enabling immediate pain relief and freedom of movement.
Electrical & Mechanical Diathermy
The field of Diathermy was pioneered in 1907 by German physician Karl Franz Nagelschmidt on his study of electrically induced heat or the use of high-frequency electromagnetic currents as a form of physical therapy.
Microcurrent Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation
The body's electrical capabilities were studied at least as early as 1830, when the Italian Carlo Matteucci is credited as being one of the first to measure the electrical current in injured tissue. Bioelectricity received less attention after the discovery of penicillin, when the focus of medical research and treatments turned toward the body's chemical processes. Attention began to return to these properties and the possibilities of using very low current for healing in the mid 1900s. In a study published in 1969, a team of researchers led by L.E. Wolcott applied microcurrent to a wide variety of wounds, using negative polarity over the lesions in the initial phase, and then alternating positive and negative electrodes every three days. The stimulation ranged from 200-800uA and the treated group showed 200%-350% faster healing rates, with stronger tensile strength of scar tissue and antibacterial effects. In 1991, the German scientists Dr. Erwin Neher and Dr. Bert Sakmann shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their development of the patch-clamp technique that allows the detection of minute electrical currents in cell membranes. This method allowed the detection of 20 to 40 types of ion channels that allow positive or negatively charged ions into and out of the cells and confirmed that electrical activity is not limited to nerve and muscle tissue.
The MCT stimulations are:
o Low Frequency Ultrasound (38Khz) - providing deeper (up to 6cm) and safer use of energy (compared to normal ultrasound)
o Pressure Wave Emission
o Thermal Radio Frequency
o Athermal Radio Frequency (Fraxelling)
o Superficial Neuro Biologic Modulation (NBM)
o Deep Neuro Biologic Modulation (NBM)
