Electrotherapy: Combining Science with Nature to Treat Pain and Disease
Progressive understands that pain can be debilitating and offers safe, non-addictive pain therapy alternatives to addictive drugs. One of the most advanced and beneficial treatments available in the world is Bioelectric Medicine. Electricity is found naturally in all of us. Every vital function, down to a cellular level, operates according to “directions” that are generated in the brain and carried electrically along communication pathways to the rest of the body. When this communication is disturbed, the results are often exhibited through a variety of symptoms, including pain, digestive disorders, and a sluggish immune system. By mimicking certain electrical currents that occur in the body, bioelectric medicine can prompt the body to heal more efficiently and manage pain more efficiently. What is Electrical Stimulation?Bio Electrotherapy is the treatment of pain and suffering associated with disease and injury with the application of a comfortable electrical stimulation. Through electrotherapy, we can trigger these impulses by varying the frequency, wavelength, and location of the micro electrical impulses applied to the patient. This incredible form of electrical stimulation works through the nervous system to affect the entire body naturally and with no negative side effects. A specific micro-current, resembling that which the body naturally produces, is introduced to the system. The body recognizes the current as its own and responds naturally by trying to normalize the problem. Electrotherapy is a safe, non-invasive, and effective way to return the body into a state of homeostasis (perfect balance) and comfort. Conditions Successfully Treated with Electrotherapy:
Physical Therapists have consistently reported that in a month (or ten electrotherapy treatments), injured patients experience increase in strength and range of motion and, as reported by the patient, pain diminishes greatly. Bio Electrotherapy as part of Integrative Pain Therapy Just like most aspects of health, pain is most effectively addressed when treatments like Electrical Stimulation are used as part of an integrative plan and a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle, which incorporates balanced nutrition, exercise and supplementation. After consultation, your doctor may suggest auxiliary treatments offered at Progressive Medical Center like acupuncture, chiropractic treatments, and detoxification. All of which are offered on-site, in our newly-renovated, 17,000 sq ft facility, just north of Atlanta. Dr. Michael Gramazio: Over Twenty Years of Electrotherapy Expertise Dr. Michael Gramazio, ND PhD, leads the electrotherapy department at Progressive Medical Center. “Helping to rid people of pain without the use of highly addictive drugs is what gets me up in the morning and satisfies me every single day,” he says. With over two decades of experience, he has assisted in clinical studies and lectured throughout the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, and the Philippines to physicians and technicians on the science of applying electrotherapy for the relief of pain and disease. Modern Electrotherapy Electrotherapy at Progressive is not shock therapy or Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). Modern electrical stimulation was developed and accepted by the medical establishment in Europe and transferred with varying degrees of speed and acceptance to the United States. Today, thousands of doctors and medical researchers worldwide are investigating electro medicine as both an effective alternative to traditional methods of treatment and an avenue for discovering new treatments for conditions such as spinal cord injury, muscular and nerve degeneration, brain stimulation, bladder disorders, heart (circulatory) disease, tumors and other chronic disorders. Medical Diagnostics Many medical conditions are not easily diagnosed by standard modalities. In order to find the root cause of your condition, we utilize various approved diagnostic tools that are safe and noninvasive. Most insurance companies require diagnostic procedures to justify treatment protocols.
Medical Studies in which Dr. Gramazio Clinically Assisted Electric and Differential Treatment for Ovarian Cysts, Lake Mead Hospital, 1991 Under medical supervision, women participating in a two-part study about PMS, unexpectedly experienced reduction in size of ovarian cysts from 5cm to 0.5 cm, after two series of Bio-Electric Therapy treatments. Diabetic Neuropathy, Arterial Eschema, and Gangrene, Lake Mead Hospital, 1990 In this study, in which Dr Gramazio clinically assisted, patients were originally being studied for alternative treatments, which included Bio-Electric Therapy, for the treatment of pain caused by Diabetic Neuropathy. Inadvertently, Gangrene in one of the patients was reportedly arrested. Chronic Headache Pain, Medical Academy of Bulgaria, 1993 While working to classify all headaches into three types: cluster, migraine and tension, patients tested (under medical supervision), unexpectedly reported experiencing the auxiliary benefit of headache pain relief. Electro Medicine Gaining Mainstream Recognition Harvard Medical School is beginning to teach "alternative medicine" and the National Institutes of Health has set up an Office of Alternative Medicine to award grants to researchers in this important field. Developments in electro medicine, like the ones in which Dr. Gramazio has taken part, offer physician's safe, effective, and long-lasting alternative treatment options for a wide variety of disorders for these patients.
