Introduction to Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy
The Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse are FDA approved therapy modalities that have been trusted in the animal care industry for over 35 years.
These two non-invasive therapy systems work by delivering a low-level electrical current into the tissue, which helps boost the production of ATP and amino acids, and reduces electrical resistance in damaged tissue. This allows the current to flow through the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural repair mechanisms and significantly speeding up the healing process—scientifically proven to have an accelerated recovery and healing rate of up to 50%, with increased ATP production of 500%.
What sets the Acuscope and Myopulse apart from other microcurrent modalities is their unique biofeedback technology.
Unlike other therapy modalities with a fixed output, both systems feature an infinitely variable waveform— the Acuscope uses a square waveform to target the nervous system and neural pathways, while the Myopulse uses a sinusoidal waveform to focus on soft and connective tissues. The biofeedback function continuously measures tissue resistance and adjusts the current to match the precise needs of the area being treated. This results in each treatment being tailored to the individual animal, and ensures there is no risk of over-stimulation or tissue damage.
Another key advantage is the evaluation capability of these instruments. The Acuscope and Myopulse measure the electrical activity and resistance in the tissue and provide a digital LED readout. This helps pinpoint areas of dysfunction, assisting therapists in creating a customised treatment plan tailored to each individual animal.
This therapy has proven effective for treating both chronic and acute neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions.
