Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy

The Electro-Acuscope and MyoPulse are highly sophisticated electronic medical instruments that use very precise amounts and frequencies of energy to diagnose and treat the nervous and muscular system.

The state of the art electronics inside both the Acuscope and Myopulse monitor your nervous system and based on the information they gather, calculate the appropriate corrective signal and then delivers it to the selected location being treated. Each machine continues treating the area until the tissue has normalized. It is very much like acupuncture but with the Acuscope, the instrument not only helps find the right spot(s) but also treats the area optimally. For this reason, treatment with Acuscope is often successful when acupuncture has only been temporarily or partially helpful. Of course there are no needles and the skin is never punctured. Even young children are comfortable with our physical therapist. The Myopulse has a similar effect but is directed to soft tissues like the muscles and scar tissue.

The Acuscope detects abnormal nerve fiber impulses due to subtle electrical blockages and imbalances that occur either in tender points called trigger points in muscle or at specific points along acupuncture meridians. When the machine has identified a blockage, it emits a low-pitched tone and puts a digital readout on its small screen. When the tissue being treated has regained its normal electrical state, the instrument emits a clear, high-pitched tone and gives a readout that remains over 100 on the screen.

It may seem like the Acuscope and Myopulse heal the tissue.  They do not.  Both make the body heal itself by stimulating not only the blood supply and oxygen to the area, but also stimulates cellular regeneration. The cells of the human body act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy. As a result, the body can be thought of as an electrical organ. Each cell has a measurable electrical charge and energy flows between cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body. When damage or trauma occurs, electrical energy is reduced and decreases the flow of energy through the tissues involved. This results in your body’s inability to repair itself.

The Acuscope introduces a healing micro-current to the tissue to assist the body in re-charging the cells to allow the natural healing power of the body. In addition, the Acuscope has been shown to cause the production of pain-reducing chemicals called "endorphins." Endorphins are released when the environment is in balance. This may be why so many people have immediate relief of pain after receiving an Acuscope treatment.

This is very different than other electrical devices that either block pain pathways or continue treating without any control. This pain relief should not be confused with devices like TENS units that bombard the tissue with a 1000-fold more current than the Acuscope and block pain signals. It’s like hitting the fire alarm with a sledgehammer instead of putting out the flames.

Each successive Acuscope treatment has a cumulative healing effect that is expected to have longer and eventually permanent results. The treatment time also gets shorter and shorter as it takes less time to harmonize and energize the cells.

There are no side effects from the treatment per se since the Acuscope can not injure or over-treat tissues. There can be a detoxification effect or what chiropractor’s term a "healing crisis." This temporary exacerbation of symptoms occurs as the body’s electrical system is activated to expel cellular toxins in its attempt to get back to a healthy state. Having treatments several days (3) in a row seems to speed up the process and minimize any discomfort.

During and after your treatment, drink plenty of water (eight 8-ounce glasses) and take it easy. This will help you as your body detoxifies and heals.
