How Does it Work?
PAT uses direct microcurrent therapy to alleviate pain
and discomfort in joints and muscles caused by a
variety of conditions including repetitive stress, strains
and sprains, pulled muscles and arthritis. Microcurrent
therapy has been used for over 50 years to treat pain
as well as healing wounds. The well-researched actions
of microcurrent, which are currents less than 1/1000 of
an amp, include pain reduction, increase of blood
supply to the treated area, stimulation of immune
system cells, increase of energy production in individual
cells, and a decrease of inflammation.
Also, PAT is able to reduce the amount of resistance of
the tissues around an injured area. As a result of
inflammation typically present, the cells become unable
to function properly because their resistance to the flow
of electrical current is too great for the body’s natural
current to enter the cell and begin the healing process.
PAT effectively “charges” the cells, enabling the natural
current to do its work all day long.
All of these actions of the current happen during a 40-
55 minute daily treatment. You will probably not feel the
current (remember, the current is less than 1/1000 of an
amp) and may realize pain relief almost immediately.
With multiple treatments, both the pain and the
underlying cause of the pain will be treated.
PAT is preprogrammed to do automatic and optimal
treatments on any part of the body. We have worked
out the best combination of currents for each body part.
This makes PAT unique in the pain relief field.
