Acuscope/Myopulse Q & A
What is it?
Micro-current technology reduces pain by restoring normal electrical conductivity through tissue impaired by damage from injury and overuse syndromes.
In areas of acute damage to tissue, pain (swelling, heat, inflammation) is reduced. Post-injury recovery time is significantly shortened by the influence of bio-compatible currents that help to further increase electrical activity, accellerating tissue self-repair. When tissue condition is chronic (where electrical activity is minimal, discharged over time) treatment gives a “boost” to deficient cells like charging up depleted batteries until they can hold a charge and are restored to a normal level of energy production.
A series of treatments will result in improved overall cellular capacitance (the capacity of cells to hold a charge). Results are evident in digital (numbers) and auditory (sound) readouts.
Is this equipment only used for injuries?
No. It can also provide systemic well-being to the Nervous System in general. Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) can produce a calm state of mind and healthier circulation throughout the body. Plus, specifically in areas of tight and damaged muscles, tendons, ligaments, it can improve elasticity, strength, and range of motion, reducing knots and bands of tightness. Both athletic performance and mental faculties improve.
Why is this particular equipment considered the premier microcurrent system?
It was the first microcurrent modality when it was introduced in 1978. It is still is the only biofeedback-driven microamperage technology. The Acuscope and Myopulse can deliver precision waveforms (appropriate current formation) based on biofeedback from the tissue being treated. No other device on the market derives feedback (input) from the micro-electricity of the human body’s nerves and muscles; no other equipment is programmed to calculate corrective (output) signals that restore cellular capacitance. All other electrical stimulation devices are blind output only.
Why are there are two separate pieces of equipment in the system?
The Acuscope “reads” nerve conductivity using nerve conduction biofeedback. Nerve signals move through living tissue on carrier waves that travel in squarewave formation. Its output is “infinitely variable” and is precisely configured by a unique computer-chip program that utilizes the feedback to calculate corrective patterns. In other words, the Acuscope delivers exactly what will return nerve signals to normal, influencing nerve cells “in their own language” until healthy patterns are reestablished. Treatment has profound impact throughout the Nervous System and specifically in injured locations.
The Myopulse reads electrical fields generated by connective tissue. Its output is also “infinitely variable”; however, it is in sine waves (sinusoidal or sloping wave formations) which are compatible with the electrical field patterns of contractile tissue. Where spasms, knots, trigger points, tightness and muscle tension dissipate the available energy, over a series of treatments, issues resolve completely and normal tissue condition returns, restoring full strength, elasticity and range of motion. Muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia and joint problems are highly responsive to the Myopulse.
How does the Acuscope give the operator feedback?
While placing probes on the body, the Operator observes a digital display, LED numbers that reveal whether a particular area of tissue is acute (hot, inflammed, abnormally electrically active) because it is excitedly attempting to self-repair damaged cells. The readout will also indicate where the tissue is electrically drained (has become blocked, resistant, has cells that have discharged to a point of low energy). The bio-feedback is fascinating, especially as it changes during the process of treatment, indicating improved cellular capacitance. This is reflected in the digital display and the corresponding auditory tones.
How many treatments are necessary to achieve results?
A well-trained bio-technician will observe the feedback to monitor progress and determine an efficient course of therapy. Pain relief is usually immediate to some degree; a series of treatments will produce long lasting to permanent self-repair. Generally 3 to 11 treatments are required for full resolution of most common neuromuscular pain complaints.
Can I have a more Technical Explanation?
Micro-current technology reduces pain by restoring normal nerve conductivity. Pain receptors and nerve endings dispurse congested chemicals (such as histamine) when gentle micro-current is applied. ATP production is improved. The uptake of micro-nutrients and the discharge of cellular metabolic wastes is significantly enhanced. [See scientific documentation in Research and Background section.]
Generally/systemically throughout the Nervous System; plus, specifically in sites of injury and areas of damage and disruption, Acuscope treatment causes nerve cells to regain full capacitance; nerve signal transmission becomes once again unrestricted. Only biofeedback-driven Acuscope can deliver this result quickly and accurately. Common TENS, while acting as a temporary pain-blocking analgesic, diminishes tissue repair by reducing ATP Production.
The Myopulse returns electrical fields to resonance, restores normal firing potentials, releases erratic waveform patterns generated when connective tissue is injured. Spasms, knots, trigger points, tightness and tension dissipate. Flaccid, atrophied tissue, even scar tissue cells can be reactivated. Over a series of treatments, issues resolve completely and damaged tissue speedily self-repairs; normal tissue condition returns, restoring range of motion. Muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia and joint problems are highly responsive.
What is the benefit of using the Ear Clips or the Head Band?
Pain management and stress-relief go hand-in-hand. The Acuscope is used sometimes briefly at the beginning and longer at the end of a treatment session for a period of complete relaxation. Its influence applied trans-cranially causes the brainwaves to synchronize (conform) to an even, steady Alpha waveform frequency pattern (8 – 10 Hz). The patient may fall asleep or simply become very calm and at ease, experiencing the feeling of deep relaxation. A series of treatments can condition the Nervous System to attain and sustain this regenerative state of mind and body. Highly beneficial for sports performance and endurance, post-traumatic injury repair and post-operative recovery.
Invitation:
Experience pain relief, improved range of motion, and stress-reduction for yourself in order to fully appreciate the results of Acuscope/Myopulse therapy. See and feel the difference in your own body; on your own mind. Do your patients/players a favor. Call to find a nearby practitioner. If there is none, this could be your opportunity to offer life-saving, non-invasive Acuscope and Myopulse technology in your practice.
