The Acuscope and Myopulse
A revolutionary treatment for
pain, inflammation and for old & recent injuries
When looking for excellence
in physical recovery, look to the therapies that the elite professional
teams and Olympic athletes turn to, to heal from their injuries. To
maintain the competitive edge, athlete's bodies must function
at peak level; therefore they routinely seek cutting edge therapies
that deliver the utmost effectiveness and return them to wholeness as
quickly as possible. Since 1984, elite athletes around the world
have been seeking out the FDA approved Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse
(henceforth referred to as the Acuscope to treat their injuries.)
The Acuscope has been used
in hospitals, doctor's offices, physical therapy and acupuncture offices,
and sports medicine and animal clinics since the late 1970's.
The Acuscope technology has multi-task treatment abilities. It
is considered a useful therapy to encourage tissue regeneration.
It's effective in the treatment of the acute phase of injury, when
manual physical therapy may be too painful. This advanced pain
management technology is indicated for chronic pain sufferers who have
not been responsive to other electrical modalities. It's particularly
successful in reducing the swelling and associated pain due to tissue
damage from sports injuries, car accidents and post surgery care.
Using technology developed
by the research scientist whose work led to the development of the EEG,
KEG and the EMG, the Acuscope has a solid reputation for helping patients
reduce the chronic pain associated with old injuries. The Acuscope
assists the body itself by improving the circulation of blood, oxygen
and ATP to the tissues & cells in the injured area and by normalizing
the electrical circuitry in the nerves and fascia of the tissues. The
Acuscope supports communication on the tissue level, acting as an input-output
device that establishes a two-way dialogue with the area of the body
being focused on. Injuries under distress tend to alter the natural
flow of tissue electricity conductivity back toward their normal resting
potential. The Acuscope can accelerate intracellular protein synthesis
in injured areas, assisting in restoring normal range of motion
to joints.
Microcurrent is a carefully
regulated low dose of electricity commonly used by acupuncturists.
The Acuscope and Myopulse are the most advanced forms of microcurrent
utilized today, saturating soft tissue injuries with the
healing frequencies of microcurrent. These electromodulated
treatments in the Tens units or ultrasound. The acupuncture
or physical therapy treatments utilizing the Acuscope have a
variety of methods to treat injured areas. A therapist will
choose from electrical clips & wires conducting microcurrent.
The Acuscope probes or jelled pads or plates can also be utilized
for patients that are needle shy.
AREAS OF USEFULNESS
WITH THE ACUSCOPE & MYOPULSE
- Reduction
of pain, swelling and relief from muscular tightness and
joint pain
- Acute &
chronic whiplash injuries & other auto related accidents
- Post operative swelling,
bruising and incision healing
- Disc related flare
ups such as sciatica & herniation
- Tough, hardened
muscular armoring due to malnourished &
- tightened connective
tissue, I
- lllusive aches &
pains like fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries,
sprains and strains
- Active trigger points
and fibrotic muscles
- Acute & chronic
tendonitis, carpal tunnel discomfort
- Frozen shoulder
or rotator cuff challenges
- Various types of
arthritis including knee & hip pains
- Vascular insufficiencies
( ulceration and neuropathies)
- Smoking or drug
addiction withdrawal
Clinicians have noted that
the Acuscope deactivates painful trigger points and accumulated fibrotic
tissue in aiding tissue repair. This electro medical technology
has the unique capacity to soften and reduce scar tissue. It has
the capacity to nourish and hydrate wiry and overworked tendons &
ligaments that support all of the body's joints. It promotes
the return to normal elasticity to muscles and myofascial structures.
The Acuscope is known for improving lymphatic drainage and the elimination
of tissue metabolic wastes. It is known to resolve serious conditions,
which would otherwise partially improve, such as old sustained injuries.
Frequency of Treatments
How quickly can patients expect
results from the Acuscope?
A series of treatments have
a cumulative effect, resulting in long term relief for patients suffering
from the most acute and chronic neuro- muscular disorders. Results
are usually noticed in 2 to 5 sessions with a 45 to 60 minute treatment.
John Thorpe, one of the leading clinical trainers of this electro-technology
reports a reduction of pain in 80% of the patients, after 6 to 10 treatments,
although the rate of recovery is unique to each patient.
The non-invasive nature of
the Acuscope treatment allows for high patient satisfaction.
Generally, treatments are painless and people experience noticeable
improvement immediately, with continued improvement over a 3 week period.
Old sustained injuries may take a few treatments before noticeable results
are observed.
Therapy sessions can take from
15-45 minutes, depending upon how many areas are being treated.
For example, treatment for chronically tight shoulders and neck muscles
can take 30 minutes. An aggravated, inflamed flare up with sciatica
may take 45-60 minutes, as a complicated condition with several areas
of involvement will require a variety of applications over a longer
period of treatment.
Certain pain medications may
reduce the efficiency of the Acuscope. A small percentage of patients
(about 20 %) may feel slight pain or tenderness as a result of the first
couple of treatments. This is generally considered a good sign,
that the body is reclaiming its internal sense of balance after an injury.
