How
Does SAMM Work?
Most
treatment machines in today’s market tend to use low
frequency as a cheaper
method for
pain relief.
However, most patients
experience considerable discomfort in the superficial tissues (i.e. the
skin) when one tries to penetrate deeper into the treatment area by
increasing the intensity. This is because the resistance of the skin
doesn’t allow deep penetration of low frequency wave treatment, and an
increase in low frequency intensity can also cause the skin to become
inflamed.

Fig.
1 shows that low frequency waves do not penetrate deeply
enough to allow for effective treatment due to skin resistance. |
|
The lower
the frequency, the higher the skin’s resistance is (Resistance=1
/ Frequency). However, if you increase the frequency to, say, over 1000Hz,
resistance is reduced considerably, (due to human body or skin has
capacity effect) and more waves can penetrate to deeper areas of the body,
and there is less superficial discomfort to the body.

Fig
2 Shows that medium
frequency waves can
overcome skin resistance and penetrate a lot more deeply into the
treatment area. |
|
SAMM has been designed to
overcome the problems of discomfort caused by low-frequency
currents, while maintaining the therapeutic effects.
So SAMM uses a medium
frequency carrier to modulated treatment waveform. The
medium frequency carrier waveform penetrates the skin more deeply than a
regular Low frequency unit with less discomfort for a given level of
stimulation.
Scientific investigations have already
proved that medium frequency can treat pain
relief. Normally physiotherapists use medium frequency machines to
treat the injury area only, but SAMM not only uses medium frequency to
help relief pain which sometimes are the symptom but also carrier
acupuncture waveform to treat the cause, it uses Traditional Chinese
acupuncture theories to stimulate the acupuncture meridian line in order
to rebalance Yin and Yang and make the treatment more efficient. This in
turn produces a far better result than just treating the area of injury.
