TITLE: HIGH FREQUENCE THERAPY WITH MMP SURFING TECHNIC, LOW FREQUENCE THERAPY AND ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE
AUTHOR(S): Dr. Mitsuharu Tsuchlya(Md.)
ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The A.P.A.E. -Associação Portuguesa de Acupuncture El?trica - Group M?co(P.A.E.A. - Protuguese Association of Electric Acupuncture - Medical Group) in association with the Portuguese Japanese Medicine Clinic - Pain Department introduced and have been using the last 25 years the high frequence therapy and MMP surfing technic to block the nervous points and the low frequence therapy on trigger points to relieve ad suppress pain, without the use of any drugs, such as xylocain, carbocain or alcohol, and no need of a very long period of treatment.

Method: The author proposes to present the therapy employed.

Results: During the 25 years of investigation we have noticed that the MMP surfing method and electroacupuncture is very efficient in pain relieving. The technic is nowadays very often used by Sports Medicine Doctors for the fast recovery of lesions and pain treatment of football players and Olympic athletes as it is an instantaneous way to suppress pain and obtain good results. This method is also very efficient to treat backache, stiff shoulder, stiff neck, tendinitis, carpal canal, trigeminal neuralgia, sprain, gonarthritis, tennis elbow, etc.
We also found the efficiency of the saw shape wave of high frequence between ¡¾150 and 250 Hz / 0.40 m/s (varying from person to person).

Discussion: The high frequence saw shape wave and low frequence therapy on trigger points may relieve and suppress the pain.

Conclusion: We are still investigating the biochemical mechanism, but we are convinced in this case that it is not the liberation of endorfin, or serotonin, or corticoids that help to relieve the pain but maybe the liberation of adrenaline. We are still studying the relation between electric acupuncture and the production of adrenaline.
