A treatment method and device for promoting a localized increase in the flow of blood through a blood vessel in an area of the body, the method including the steps of: (a) providing a system including: (i) at least a first electrode (80a, 80b) operatively contacting a first portion of body tissue; (ii) at least a second electrode (82a, 82b) operatively contacting a second portion of body tissue; and (iii) a signal generator (87, 85), operatively connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, for providing a plurality of electrical impulses to the electrodes; (b) applying the electrical impulses so as to subject the muscular tissue to at least one voltage differential, thereby inducing a repeated, contracting, directional movement of muscular tissue associated with the blood vessel, so as to produce a localized increase in the flow of blood through the blood vessel.
