How Does Horizontal Therapy® Work?
The human body uses electricity in all manner of cell functions. Over thirty years of research have led to
this patented, highly evolved type of therapy. Horizontal Therapy, or HT, is the only type of therapy that can
stimulate simultaneously both electrical and chemical events in the cell, which is exactly how the cell functions.
This patented capability is how HT achieves its superior outcomes and success rate. HT uses electrical impulses
and varying wavelengths in the FM frequency range (electro-stim units like the TENS use AM frequencies that
produce short term effects) to mimic natural cell functions and stimulate certain biochemical reactions in the
body which have been proven to generate several long term pain relieving effects:
• Stimulation of nerves and muscles with HT causes the release of endorphins which reduce the sensation of pain.
• An injured or inflamed area of the body is concentrated with pain mediators, usually in the form of
Hydrogen ions, which send messages to the brain telling the body to feel pain. However, there must be
a certain concentration of pain mediators in the area of injury for pain signals to be triggered. The FM
waves used exclusively in Horizontal Therapy, oscillate or ‘shake’ these pain mediators, spreading them
out over a broader area of the body, diffusing the body’s pain response.
• Counter Irritation/Gate Control: The best way to explain this effect is by using an analogy of two people
speaking to you at the same time. Basically, you can’t understand either of them because they offset
each other. HT sends various frequencies into the tissues. In a sense, the nerves get ‘confused’ with
this additional sensory input, and can’t “listen” to the pain messengers telling them to feel pain.
• Unlike other nerve block technology, with HT, we have the possibility of creating a blockade in the
nerve witho
ut damaging the cells. This allows extended HT treatment times up to 50 minutes with
no risk of cell damage. Over the course of several treatments the tissue actually learns to normalize
concentrations of pain mediators in the treated area on its own.
Because Horizontal Therapy is a non-drug pain-relieving solution, there are no known side effects.
• Horizontal therapy breaks the pain cycle, the first crucial step in pain relief.
• Through multiple treatments it acts on the CAUSE of the condition and
delivers long-term relief.
• It can strengthen muscles that have not been active due to pain.
• After reducing pain, it can provide follow-up treatment that can sustain and
achieve continuous improvement.
Without the use of Drugs, Surgery or Injections. Horizontal therapy accelerates the bodies healing ability. Hako-Med™ Horizontal Therapy has demonstrated through many international and clinical studies that pain can be reduced or eliminated for these conditions:
• Osteoarthritis – (all areas of the body)
• Chronic Inflammation/Swelling
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Post Surgical Pain
• Sprains/Strains
• Joint Degeneration
• Muscle Spasm
• Wounds
• Fractures
• Nerve Pain
• Visceral Pain
• And More
