1. A method of treating body tissue, comprising the steps of:

  • a) preparing a device capable of generating electrical current at a therapeutic voltage and amperage in response to ultrasonic vibrations;

    the device further provided with sensor means, the sensor means adapted to receive preselected stimuli generated by the body tissue, the sensor means adapted to communicate with and selectively energize a means for selectively generating and transmitting ultrasonic vibrations to the device in response to the preselected stimuli generated by the body tissue;

    b) disposing the device beneath the skin in the vicinity of the tissue to be treated; and

    c) sensing with the sensor means the preselected stimuli generated by the body tissue;

    d) energizing the means for selectively generating ultrasonic vibrations in response to sensing the preselected stimuli generated by the body tissue; and

    e) subjecting the device to ultrasonic vibrations in an amount and for a period of time sufficient for the device to generate electrical currents at a therapeutic voltage and amperage, wherein the sensor means is disposed on the device.
