What is Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse therapy?
The Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse Therapy System employs a non-invasive approach, utilizing low voltage current tailored to the patient's needs. These FDA-approved instruments, originally developed for humans, have successfully treated equine and canine issues such as pulled muscles, strained tendons, inflammation, abscessed feet, nerve paralysis, and more. Widely employed in sports medicine clinics, these instruments have a history dating back to 1978, providing relief from various conditions, including orthopedic, neurologic, and arthritic discomfort, with applications extending beyond pain relief in the realm of equine and canine therapy for over three decades.
The Electro-Acuscope
The Acuscope facilitates the body's self-healing process by enhancing blood and oxygen circulation, normalizing nerve electrical circuitry via the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems. It regulates current levels, reduces inflammation, addresses inflammatory tissue, and provides care for bony injuries and wounds.
Distinguishing itself from other electrical stimulation devices, the Acuscope features micro-chip circuitry that scans and monitors tissue. Unlike units with fixed outputs, it reads neurological impedance in the tissue circuit, using gathered information to calculate corrective waveforms. Specially calibrated for horses, it adapts to their higher metabolic rates, picking up nerve fiber impulse abnormalities and adjusting its square wave signal until normal patterns are conducted without resistance. This self-correcting mechanism prevents over-treatment or harm, ensuring successful treatment
The Electro-Myopulse
The Myopulse, the Acuscope's companion instrument, is uniquely designed for direct access and focus on soft and connective tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and periosteum. Its biofeedback system is programmed to normalize the electromagnetic field surrounding these body structures, complementing the Acuscope's work in normalizing the nervous system. Additionally, the Myopulse enhances blood flow and circulation by relieving constriction in blood vessels caused by tight and restricted soft tissue. Through inducing true relaxation and normalized function in the body's soft tissue, the Myopulse facilitates more effective circulation
Understanding How the Body’s Energy System Works
The human body comprises numerous cells, acting like miniature batteries by storing and releasing energy to perform vital functions such as nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and self-repair. Each cell maintains a measurable electrical charge crucial for proper functioning.
Energy circulates continuously among cells through the body's electrical circuitry. In the event of damage or trauma to living tissue, there's a disruption in the electrical capacity of affected cells. Following an initial surge, there's a measurable decrease in energy production and flow within the affected tissues, often accompanied by pain. This condition hinders the body's ability to fully repair itself, necessitating extended periods of rest and inactivity for eventual restoration of normal function.
How Does the Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse Differ From Other Modalities
Distinguishing themselves from other electrical stimulation devices, the Acuscope and Myopulse instruments administer treatments in micro-amps—current levels naturally generated by cells in the body, below 1 milliamp. While typical nerve stimulation devices (TENS) use milli-amperage to block pain signals, this therapy system precisely encourages nerve and muscle fibers to resume normal electrical impulses. In contrast to temporary relief from ordinary TENS devices, a series of Acuscope and Myopulse treatments yield cumulative, long-term healing effects. Scientific studies support micro-current therapy's profound benefits at the cellular level, including the opening of calcium ion channels, normalization of cell membrane potential, restoration of sodium pump function, enhanced protein synthesis, and increased ATP production. Supplying the current found in healthy tissue promotes regenerative metabolic activity.
