Reflexology is famous for its healing effects on the human body. This is an ancient method, the essence of which is to treat all organs and systems of the body. This science came to us several centuries ago. Many ailments can be cured almost exclusively thanks to this technique, which is popular primarily due to its painlessness and extraordinary effectiveness.

Experts say that the basis of the technique is the management of energy exchange in the body. A reflexologist acts on various points, thereby exerting a beneficial effect on a particular organ. Interestingly, this procedure has virtually no side effects. Another advantage of this treatment method is the rapid onset of positive dynamics. The undoubted advantages include a wide range of problems that can be solved through reflexology. People of all ages resort to this method, trying to minimize medication use and get a quick and noticeable effect from treatment.

Scope of application

Children are often susceptible to diseases of the nervous system, are developmentally delayed, suffer from speech delay, etc. In such cases, microcurrent reflexology is used for treatment and rehabilitation purposes.

For adults, this technique is used not only in the case of diseases of the nervous system, but also in other areas, even in cosmetology.

More often, microcurrent reflexology is used to treat children whose central nervous system (CNS) functions are impaired.

The technique is effective for the following diseases and abnormalities:

• speech delay;
• autism;
• diseases caused by central nervous system dysfunction;
• passive motor indicators;
• Certain forms of cerebral palsy;
• psychological disorders;
• hydrocephalus;
• enuresis.

This technique is used by speech therapists to influence certain areas of the body to promote the speedy process of speech development. The use of such therapy for children is completely justified, since microcurrent treatment has virtually no contraindications or side effects. The results of such treatment are always positive.

Adult pathologies for which microcurrents are used:

• neuroses (hysteria, neurasthenia, nocturnal enuresis) and others;
• hyperkinesis of functional types (blepharospasm, tic);
• diseases of the peripheral nervous system (paralysis, paresis, radiculitis, neuralgia);
• VSD (vegetative-vascular dystonia);
• rheumatic vasculitis, atherosclerosis;
• disorders in the endocrine system;
• ailments of a bronchopulmonary nature;
• vasomotor conditions;
• pathologies of the musculoskeletal system;
• diseases of the ENT system;
• skin diseases;
• epilepsy;
• muscular dystrophy;
• circulatory disorders in the brain;
• parkinsonism syndrome.

It is impossible to list all the diseases that can be cured or alleviated using this method. Exposure to a weak current awakens the body, and it begins to recover.

Reflexology methods

Let's look at the methods and their actions in more detail.

Auricular

This technique is essentially stimulation of the points of the auricle. Used in getting rid of bad habits, as well as in the treatment of obesity and pain syndromes, the method has proven itself very well.

Electropuncture

There are several types of electropuncture reflexology: microcurrent, invasive and non-invasive.

Microcurrent

Exposure to weak electric current pulses does not cause discomfort and is indicated even for the youngest patients (from 6 months). The method is used in the treatment of cerebral palsy, speech disorders, etc.

Invasive

This method of exposure differs from others in that the current is carried out using a needle. The technique is often called “electroacupuncture”.

Non-invasive

No piercing is required with this method. The points are stimulated through the skin. In this case, the current can be of both negative and positive polarity. The intensity and duration of sessions may also vary.

Electropuncture reflexology is often used in combination with electrophoresis.

Laser

The essence of the method is the impact on active points with a laser. The procedure significantly accelerates regeneration, has a healing effect and speeds up metabolism. The duration and intensity can vary, as can the wavelength. This technique has proven itself especially well in the treatment of ailments accompanied by pain. Laser reflexology is also used to relieve inflammation and speed up the rehabilitation process.

Contraindications and restrictions

This method of treatment and rehabilitation has contraindications, but their number is small. It is necessary to take into account all human conditions that can cause a negative reaction to microcurrent exposure.

Microcurrent reflexology is strictly contraindicated in the following cases:

• state of psychosis;
• tumor processes in the body, benign or malignant;
• diseases of an organic nature, liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, if the stage of decompensation has already begun;
• period of bearing a child;
• rapid weight loss;
• acute infectious pathologies;
• after heavy physical activity or a hot bath;
• age over 75 years or infants;
• severe pain of unknown cause;
• chronic infectious processes, such as brucellosis, tuberculosis.

It must be taken into account that there are patients who cannot tolerate treatment with any type of reflexology. In this case, there is a high probability of developing a negative vascular reaction, which can provoke shock, collapse or allergic reactions. In order to avoid such manifestations, it is necessary to carefully study the patient's medical history.

Weakened people with weak immunity are resistant to microcurrent reflexology. This is explained by the fact that the patient has energy deficiency. It is also important whether the patient has vascular sclerosis, excessive body weight and biochemical blood test values.

The effectiveness of therapy depends on the general condition of the person and the degree of development of the pathological process. Hormonal levels also matter for microcurrent exposure. The period of menopause in women, age, as well as previous treatment methods play a critical role in the effectiveness of therapy.

How can you prove it? Research has shown that:

• Acupuncture causes the brain to produce “its own morphine” - special substances called endophins. Therefore, with proper selection of points, pain of various origins can be eliminated.
• Chinese reflexology is as effective in relieving allergies as medications.
• Acupuncture helps with depression where medications fail.

In each specific case, a special combination of points for treatment is selected depending on the pathology, age of the patient, and associated problems.

How is the procedure performed?

Before treatment sessions, the patient is carefully examined. After all diagnostic measures, therapy can begin.

The patient lies down on the couch. The doctor, using standardized electrodes that are connected to a generator, touches the patient's body with them.

The areas to be touched depend on the disease that needs to be treated. The generator used in the procedures produces electrical impulses of direct alternating current, ultra-low strength, so they are not capable of harming a person.

The duration of the session is from 30 minutes to 1 hour. The course of treatment usually lasts about 15-20 days, but not in every case. There are some diseases that take much longer to cure. The treatment plan is drawn up by the doctor, taking into account each specific case.

Reflexology prices. What else besides needles?

Biologically active points can be affected in different ways. Needles are just one option. The following have no less therapeutic effect:

• Acupressure
• Moxotherapy - warming the points with a wormwood cigar.
• Microcurrent reflexology (electropuncture) is the action of a weak electric current on points.
• Laser therapy is the use of low-intensity laser radiation for therapeutic purposes.
• Homeosynia - microinjections into biologically active points of special complex homeopathic preparations from Heel.

Each of these methods has its own characteristics. And in the right combination, they are able to cope with a problem where even potent drugs are powerless.

For better treatment results, we use complex treatment: reflexology + massage, manual therapy, laser treatment and other procedures. In each specific case, the doctor selects a combination based on your main problem and taking into account associated conditions.

A personal set of procedures allows you to:

• Firstly, to save time - in one visit to the clinic you undergo two or more treatment procedures, and in 10 - a full course of treatment.
• Secondly, save money: if you pay for the full course at a time, you get a 10% discount.

Still not sure if this is right for you? Call 8 (495) 783-52-08, ask your questions, make an appointment with a doctor and clear up your doubts. Reflexology has already helped many and is still helping. Take care of yourself and those you care about.

What is the impact of MTRT aimed at?

The ultra-small electrical impulses used do not have an irritating or destructive effect on nerve structures. They help harmonize the work of neuromuscular synapses, help achieve a balance between the processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system, improve the functioning of various cortical centers, the cerebellum and subcortical structures. It is possible to slightly reduce the level of intracranial pressure by optimizing the functioning of the choroid plexuses.

MTRT can be used for reflex relaxation of spastic muscles, stimulation of paretic muscle groups and activation of the cerebellum, reducing the severity of synkinesis and pathological alignment of the limbs in cerebral palsy. This technique is also indicated for stimulating the cognitive and speech areas of the brain, reducing muscle tone in the articulatory apparatus and reducing the severity of pseudobulbar syndrome.

The result of MTRT courses in a child can be an expansion of vocabulary (or activation of humming and babbling in children of the first year of life), improved diction and understanding of speech, and the emergence of skills in constructing complex grammatical structures, counting and reading. The positive effects of treatment also include a decrease in hypersalivation, increased smoothness and coordination of movements, harmonization of impaired muscle tone, and a decrease in pain. Parents may notice an increase in the child's fine and gross motor skills. Children with behavioral disorders experience an increase in the level of socialization, improved learning ability, and a leveling of neurotic and hysterical symptoms.

What is important to understand when performing MTRT

Microcurrent reflexology is not a potent treatment and is not usually used as monotherapy. And you shouldn’t expect a miraculous and quick effect from several sessions. To achieve a clinically significant lasting effect, at least 3–5 comprehensive rehabilitation courses are usually required.

In addition, MTRT cannot replace drugs with nootropic, neurotrophic, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, diuretic and other effects prescribed by a neurologist. The use of such drugs is not a contraindication for rehabilitation. But at the time of starting reflexology, the patient must be on an individually selected maintenance therapy regimen. A clinically significant deterioration in the patient’s condition or the appearance of new symptoms during the rehabilitation course is grounds for repeated consultation with the attending physician.

So, microcurrent reflexology is a modern and continuing to develop method of rehabilitation of patients with a variety of neuropsychic disorders.

STC "Reatsentr", a specialist talks about the effects of microcurrent reflexology:

Who is MTRT indicated for?

The range of applications of microcurrent reflexology is quite wide. It has virtually no age restrictions and can be used in adults and children over 6 months. And some specialists use this method to treat infants from 2 months of age.

MTRT can be included in a rehabilitation program for the following conditions:

• – all main forms of the disease (with spastic paralysis of the limbs, diplegia, hyperkinesis, atonic-astatic syndrome, psycho-speech defects);
• consequences of perinatal pathology of the central nervous system with hypertensive-hydrocephalic syndrome, delayed psycho-speech and motor development, muscular dystonia syndrome;
• open form ;
• consequences of natal injury to the cervical spine with various motor and sensory disorders at the spinal level;
• condition after suffering injuries to the brain and spinal cord, and post-vaccination complications;
• delayed psychomotor development of a child caused by Down syndrome and other genetic diseases;
• alalia, ZRR, STDs of various origins and severity;
• autistic syndrome;
• hyperexcitability and attention deficit syndrome;
• neurotic disorders with various symptoms;
• sensorineural hearing loss, partial atrophy of the optic nerve;
• enuresis;
• specific disorders in the formation of learning skills, which is most often associated with dysfunction of certain areas of the cerebral cortex and can manifest itself as dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyslexia;
• recovery period after severe injuries, including sports ones.

In most cases, microcurrent reflexology is used for the rehabilitation of children of preschool and primary school age with various chronic neuropsychic disorders.
