Are shock treatments harmful to your body? I have had physical therapies that requires electric shocks. And also, I have heard of products such as slendertone, which is a belt that shocks your waist when you wear it. It is suppose to tone your waist or something like that. But my question is could these electric shocks be harmful to our body, or organs if the shocking is given to a long period of time? can they cause cancer?

The company I work for sells the Slendertone as well as Electronic Muscle Stimulators. They both have great effects and do not produce enough electricity to cause harm. After my car accident, a doctor used an EMS on my back and it really helped the healing process. Several people in our office use the Slendertone and love how it makes their abs look and feel. Check out or website for more info on either one: www.activeforever.com
