Testimonial on BCR therapy from V.I.P Physio Bad Camberg

BCR microcurrent therapy
Biological Cell Regulation
Thanks to its general regulating and stimulating effect, BCR microcurrent therapy has a very wide range of applications; it is particularly well suited to conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. The therapy is highly effective and often achieves remarkable success even in patients with chronic pain: in a user study, over 80 per cent of those affected reported a significant improvement in their symptoms after just one treatment.
The microcurrents used in BCR therapy© stimulate the metabolism of damaged cells and improve lymphatic drainage in the affected tissue. This promotes the detoxification of the damaged area, activates the body’s self-healing mechanisms and can thus significantly shorten the healing phase. This applies even to the metabolism of body parts with little or no blood supply, such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage.
Electric currents regulate many aspects of the body’s metabolism, with the current strength of the body’s own currents lying in the microampere range (millionths of an ampere). It therefore stands to reason that the electrical impulses used in successful therapy must ‘speak the language of the cells’.
‘Weak stimulation increases physiological activity, whilst very strong stimulation suppresses or destroys cellular activity.’ (Arndt-Schulz’s Law)
Why does tissue cease to function properly? There can be many reasons for this. In addition to normal ageing, overuse or incorrect use plays a major role here. We then develop, for example, osteoarthritis, suffer from ligament problems (heel spurs, tennis elbow, spinal problems) and much more. Many of these disorders lead to permanent damage to the affected tissue if measures are not taken in good time. Once the tissue is damaged, membrane transport, protein synthesis and energy production within the cells are also impaired. This presents a dilemma, as it becomes increasingly difficult for the cells (tissues) to recover.
Specific effects of BCR therapy:
40% increase in membrane transport
Cells are the body’s smallest functional units, consisting of a membrane – that is, an outer layer – and the cell body: the membrane encloses the cell body. All the ‘nutrition’ a cell requires must pass through this membrane to supply the cell with everything it needs. If there are problems with membrane transport, the cell starves: starving cells are weak cells and cannot function properly.
73% increase in protein synthesis
Muscles, internal organs and the brain consist almost entirely of proteins; the same applies to the ATP-generating mitochondria. Proteins are simply of vital importance throughout the body. Therefore: without proteins, there is no ATP.
500% increase in energy production within the cell
Amongst other things, cells contain what are known as mitochondria. These mitochondria, the ‘powerhouses of the cells’, generate the human body’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate – ATP for short. The body needs ATP for all metabolic processes, for maintaining body temperature, for muscle movement… in short, for everything. No ATP – no life! Whenever anything is to be produced or carried out in our body, the body needs ATP.
Typical areas of application in orthopaedics:
Acute and chronic joint disorders (osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism, etc.)
Acute and chronic tendon irritation (tennis or golfer’s elbow, etc.)
Heel spurs
Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder
Frozen shoulder
Neck and back pain syndromes
Herniated discs
Tendon, muscle and ligament injuries
Fractures
Bruises
Post-operative use
How BCR therapy is carried out:
During BCR therapy©, the patient sits or lies down in a relaxed position. Depending on the symptoms, several electrodes are applied to the affected area. Healing microcurrents pass through the electrodes into the affected tissue. The treatment is generally painless, though a tingling sensation or a feeling of warmth may be felt in the affected area.
In addition to the pain-relieving electrode application, the treatment promotes enhanced lymphatic drainage. This ensures that the increased metabolic waste products can be effectively removed.
The activated metabolism is also often noticeable: urine output increases and many patients feel thirsty. It is therefore advisable to use the toilet before the treatment. After the treatment, you should drink plenty of fluids to support your metabolism.
Occasionally, symptoms may worsen after the first treatment; however, this should be regarded as a positive reaction resulting from the activation of the metabolism in the tissue.
For successful treatment, between 5 and 10 sessions, each lasting 20–30 minutes, are usually required.
