Certified Acuscope
and Myopulse
Therapist
The
Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse
is an FDA approved
machine for humans
which has been used
in clinics and
hospitals since
1978. It has been
used by the San
Francisco 49'ers,
the U.S. Olympic Ski
Team, , Texas A & M
University,
Louisiana State
University, many
doctors,
chiropractors and
physical therapy
centers. A few years
ago, it was adapted
for veterinary use
on horses, dogs and
cats.

The
Acuscope/Myopulse
has both diagnostic
and therapeutic
functions. It
actually provides
feedback which
indicates the
location of a
pathologic condition
or area of pain. It
also tells the
therapist when an
area has been
successfully
treated.
The
Acuscope/Myopulse
does not heal. It
makes the body heal
itself by
stimulating the
supply of blood and
oxygen to the
involved area. No
drugs or needles are
used in the
treatment. It is
effective in the
treatment of many
types of tissue
damage and is a
particularly useful
therapy for
swelling,
inflammation, and
soreness. There is
no danger of
over-treatment, the
machine can not
cause damage to the
tissue.
There is a
small but growing
group of qualified
people who have been
trained by a
licensed instructor
to use the
Acuscope/Myopulse on
horses. After
extensive training,
they become
certified Equine
Therapists.
Therapists often
work in cooperation
with equine
practitioners.
Acuscope/Myopulse
therapy can
supplement the
traditional
veterinary
procedures to ensure
a quicker recovery
for the horse.
The
Acuscope/Myopulse
system is indicated
for use, and is
effective in the
treatment of the
following equine
conditions:
|
|
Joint Inflamation
Line Muscles (croup)
Bowed Tendons
Mouth Ailments
Bucked Shins
Curbs and Capped Hocks
Colic
Whirlbone Treatments
Pulled Muscles in the
Shoulder
Splints
Pulled Suspensory
Ligaments
Green Osselets
Cartilage Damage in
Knees & Hocks
Stressed Stifles
Arthritic Conditions of
Joints
Abscessed Feet
Deteriorating Coffin
Bones
Laminitis or Founder
Muscle Spasms in
Stifles
Muscle Spasms in Backs
Pinched Nerves in the
Neck
Ring Bone
Traumatic Inflammation
Injury
Washing Out
Pre-race Firing
Pre-race Calming

Widely known and
well respected for
it's consistent
effectiveness, the
Acuscope/Myopulse is
the most
technologically
advanced,
sophisticated and
unique equipment in
today's age of
electronic pain
therapy. A series of
treatments has a
cumulative effect
which results in
long term relief for
animals suffering
from the most acute
and chronic
neuro-muscular
disorders. The
treatments greatly
reduce common pain
and swelling and
increase range of
motion limitations
associated with many
joint pathologies.
Perhaps the
factor which
contributes most
conspicuously to the
outstanding
effectiveness of the
system, is the
minute level of
electricity
generated by the
system. The concept
of mirco-current
stimulation has
achieved widespread
acceptance, even by
many of the most
conservative medical
pain management
facilities because
no one can deny the
validity of
consistent results.
A wide variety of
electrodes have been
designed by a team
of biomedical
engineers. This
allows versatility
in selecting the
most appropriate and
effective probe,
plate or roller for
the treatment.
The modalities
are applied
primarily for pain
relief, to improve
soft tissue function
and increase range
of motion, faster
healing of bones,
ligaments, and
tendons. However, in
numerous recent
studies
micro-current
stimulation has been
proven to have a
profoundly
beneficial effect on
living tissue at the
cellular level.
Micro-amperage
(below 1 milliamp)
is the naturally
occurring level of
current generated
throughout the
body. With this in
mind, it is easy to
understand why
supplying the kind
of current naturally
occurring in healthy
tissue promotes
regenerative
metabolic activity.
In contrast to
all milli-amperage
nerve stimulation
devices (ordinary
TENS) designed to
bombard the tissue
and block pain
signals from
reaching the brain,
the
Acuscope/Myopulse
generates only the
level of current
required to gently
encourage nerve
fiber to return to
conduction of normal
electrical impulses.
A series of
treatments have a
positive cumulative
effect in contrast
to ordinary TENS
devices which
provide only
temporary relief.
The most
unique feature of
the Acuscope/Mypulse
which sets it apart
from other
electrical
stimulation devices
is the micro-chip
circuitry designed
to monitor the
tissue placed
between the probes.
Based on the
information it
gathers, the unit is
programmed to
calculate
appropriate
corrective feedback
modulated waveform
variance. Other
electrical
stimulation units
produce a fixed
output according to
preset
specifications. The
Acuscope/Myopulse
picks up
abnormalities in
nerve fiber impulses
and modifies its
infinitely variable
square-wave envelope
output appropriately
until normal
waveform patterns
are being conducted
without resistance
through the circuit
completed between
the tissue and the
probes. The
Acuscope/Myopulse
reads neurological
impedance along the
current flow and can
discriminate point
of high or low
resistance.
The
Acuscope/Myopluse
can also be used on
small animals with
the same healing
results. Please
