Microcurrent (MCT) uses low voltage currents to generate a muscular response by replicating the body’s electrical impulses. With controlled signals through electrodes attached to the skin, muscles contract after being stimulated by motor nerves. Because MCT mimics the electrical signals sent between the brain and body, there is no discomfort for the horse - even when applied to the deepest muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

The Best-Vet III is in the class of FDA-approved devices called TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). Unlike traditional TENS devices that block a pain signal from registering in the brain via tissue bombardment, the Best-Vet III uses microamperage. This is a significantly milder level of electricity that matches what the body naturally produces. The device’s internal circuitry is specifically calibrated to read animal tissue. The therapist can monitor the tissue throughout treatment and deliver exactly those currents that will correct and return cells to a regenerative electrical state. Other electrical stimulation units do not scan and gather feedback. They only produce a fixed output according to the operator's preset specifications. 

The Best-Vet III establishes two-way communication between its circuitry and the electrical signals from the area the whehe horse’s body is created. Using biofeedback technology measures such things as tissue conductivity and cell capacitance (the capacity of cells to hold an electrical charge). Generally, tissue conductance is very low in chronic pain and abnormally high in areas of inflammation. The treatment introduces gentle currents in waveforms similar to the body's electrical signals to correct abnormalities. The Best-Vet III is programmed to generate the current pulse damaged nerve tissue requires to return to a normal, pain-free state. The attachment being utilized sends corrective signals specific to muscle and other connective, contractile tissue so that the cells can begin the work of self-repair.

Every treatment balances the cellular structure and normalizes cellular function. This helps the body initiate self repair. Living bodies are made up of a vast number of cells that self-repair and release energy. Each cell has a measurable electrical charge. There is a constant energy flow between cells through the body’s electrical circ. When damage or trauma occurs, there is a disruption in the produced electricity, decrease in energy flow with the involved tissue. This condition is called electrical resistance and is generally accompanied by a pain sensation in the area. 

During treatment, the Best-Vet III introduces Mila ectrical current into the cells of the body to return the tissue to a normal level of electrical activity. While providing beneficial electrical current, the treatment causes the body to improve circulation, produce and more effectively utilize proteins and other nutrients required for metabolism and cellular repair. In this way, the instrument assists the body in accelerating the natural self-healing processes. In addition, mild electrical current causes the body to generate endorphins, naturally occurring pain suppressors. The immediate pain relieving results and the long-term benefits of a Best-Vet III treatment may therefore be considered an electrochemical response is occurring at a cellular level in the involved area.

The Best Vet III delivers a level of electricity below the perception three. The therapist constantly monitors the intensity of the current and the horse’s comfort during treatment. 

Unlike other modalities, the body does not build up a tolerance to treatments. The opposite oholdccurs, treatments become shorter, and the benefits last longer. Mild current stimulation has been proven to cause the body’s cells to increase the production of the chemical ATP. This chemical is responsible for cellular energy production. It has also been shown to increase protein synthesis, the building blocks of tissue, which allows the cells to begin to repair themselves. This low current level is known to improve certain cellular functions, which pump ions (such as sodium, calcium, potassium, etc.) into the cells and increase the transport of waste products out of the cells, thereby assisting in the flushing of toxins out of the tissue. 

     As these chemical reactions build up with each treatment, the tissue iscanepair itself more completely. The "charge" on the tissue begins to hold, and its ability to generate its normal energy is restored. In most cases of neuro-muscular pathology, a series of treatments leads to permanent relief.
