Microcurrent reflexology (MTRT) is a highly effective method for the treatment of both adults and children. It is used in rehabilitation, neurological and speech therapy medical institutions for the treatment of pathologies of a neuropsychic nature. Allows you to activate all the body's resources to fight diseases. Compatible with drug treatment. But the method is strictly contraindicated in the presence of somatic and some chronic diseases.
Features of the method
The essence of the procedure lies in the effect of weak electrical microcurrents on the part of the body where the accumulation of nerve endings is located. This activates the functioning of the nervous system completely. The method differs from acupuncture in that it affects the processes of the whole organism in a dosed manner. There are acupuncture points on the human body, when exposed to which any disease can be cured.
The features of MTRT include:
- the ability to influence any number of acupuncture points;
- painlessness;
- the ability to activate the speech areas of the brain;
- fixation of indications, allowing a specialist to control the course of therapy;
- a decrease in the tone of the muscles of the speech apparatus.
Indications
Microcurrent procedure is indicated for:
- Hydrocephalus.
- Enurese.
- Hyperexcitability.
- Autism.
- Weak memory.
- Scattered attention.
- Hearing loss.
The treatment regimen is drawn up individually. The course of treatment is 3 weeks. The patient receives 15 sessions. To achieve a lasting effect, do from 3 to 5 courses. A session can last from 30 to 50 minutes.

Procedure for the procedure
Acupuncture is prescribed only after a thorough examination. The child is placed on the couch. The doctor touches the body with electrodes connected to a generator, which generates low-intensity direct current pulses that are not capable of harming the patient's health. The areas of touch depend on the pathology that needs to be healed.
