Microcurrent is electrical current in millionths of an ampere (amp). Microamperage current is the same kind of current your body produces on its own within each cell. The current is very small. There is not enough current to stimulate sensory nerves so the current flow cannot be felt.
Why Micro for Healing?
Microcurrent technology has been used for many decades and is used in some wound healing and bone healing devices. This is because microcurrent has been shown to increase cell energy (ATP) by up to 500% (Cheng, 1982). This study also found improvement in oxygenation and cell repair as well as boosting protein synthesis by 70%. See our list of publications below.
Is All Micro The Same?
No, early units and units used for wound healing typically use one or two frequencies as the current is delivered to the injured area or body. HoweRT® Micro devices use complex programming based on Resonance Theory. There are a number of technical parameters that are controlled for; including timing, waveform, polarization and “ramping”. These parameters have been clinically developed to allow for advanced programming and much better clinical outcomes.
How Our Care Plan Works
1. I Feel Heard & Not Crazy
Many patients tell us this is the first time they’ve felt truly listened to. During your consultation and exam, we slow things down, ask the right questions, and create space for your full story—without rushing, dismissing, or minimizing your experience.
2. You Did More Than The Last 10 Doctors Combined
It’s because we slow down and look deeper. Every exam and X-ray is intentional, detailed, and designed to uncover the root cause—not just manage symptoms.
3. Wow, It Is Already Working
We use X-rays before and after treatment to measure real change. By comparing them, patients can see how their spine responds, helping to build confidence in the adjustments and in the body’s natural ability to heal.
4. I Finally Feel Normal Again
After struggling with chronic pain, headaches, or nerve issues, many patients tell us, “I finally feel normal again.” Our precise adjustments and thorough care help restore balance to the spine and nervous system, allowing the body to function the way it was meant to.
What Is Resonance Theory?
First it is important to understand what frequency is. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of any wave; this is called Hertz. Resonance theory is about creating resonance, or coherence, between two energetic waves. It is based on the assumption that physical tissue has a “bioelectric/magnetic” signature. (A frequency that the tissue/organ is at when in a healthy state). ALL electrical current also has a frequency.
How Is Resonance Used?
As an early instructor of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Vanessa Howe was an early instructor in teaching practitioners how to use resonance to enhance clinical outcomes. The theory behind this is that if it is possible to heal tissues (with something like microcurrent), then the positive effects could be amplified by “matching” the frequency of the current to the frequency of the tissue injured. HoweRT® advanced programming takes it a step further in developing programs that not only attempt to match the injured tissue, but to match the typical cycle of healing in order to further enhance the outcomes. For this reason, her programs have been used to help heal top professional athletes.
Where Do the Frequencies Come From?
Frequencies used by HoweRT® are published and accepted by the general community of established practitioners. The bulk of recent contributions to these lists have come from Dr. Charles McWilliams, who published a comprehensive list in Radiotherapy in Electroaccupuncture in1994. Other contributors to the field date back as far as the early 1900s with Dr. Albert Abrams, who published early frequencies in very early medical journals.
Is Resonance only used with microcurrent?
No, resonance is the concept of matching a bio-electric/bio-magnetic property of two entities. Resonance can be created with any modalities that can emit a frequency or waveform. Howe Resonance Technologies is dedicated to the development of resonance based technologies in viable, safe and effective devices.
