Sinusoidal Current

JHK

from Dr JH Kellogg's Hydriatic Techniques...

Induction current; includes Faradic and Bipolar currents

Faradic: electric current used mainly for stimulating innervated muscle, consists of pulsed DC current (frequency of 50-100 Hz, duration 1 millisecond) surged up every 5-10 seconds to reproduce normal muscle contractions

Fluxion and Stimulating

Effects similar but not as strong as cathodal Galvanic Current, with cold

with Revulsive Douche (H: 3-5min, C: 4-10sec) or Revulsive Compress (H: 5-15min, C: 15-30sec) in
- Visceral Congestion where there is no Inflammation Pain
To rectum and over the abdominal wall with Cold Douche to feet, lumbar, umbilical and hypogastric areas in difficult cases of
- Bladder Atony
- Dilated Colon causing Decreased Peristalsis
Sinusoidal to epigastrium with Ice Bag 30min before meal in
- Hypopepsia
To uterus with cold applications to lumbar, inner thighs and feet in
- Amenorrhoea
To muscles with preceding
- Cold Douche
- Percussion Douche
- Scotch Douche
- Cold Mitten Friction or
- Heating Compress
- increases Stimulating effect, in
  - Paralysis and Paresis

Analgesic

As strong as possible. Sinusoidal or Faradic with very hot Fomentations (slight pain when first applied) 15-20min in:

Neuralgia with Joint Pain with no inflammation
moderate Faradic or Sinusoidal with very hot Fomentation 30min after meal in painful Gastric Congestion
Static Current in Rheumatic Pains

Refrigerants

Rubbing Cold Tub Bath 25°C, 10-15min, accentuated by simultaneous slowly alternating Sinusoidal to get strong muscle contractions, 6/min - 3 sets of electrodes - the arms, the legs, the back and abdomen in
