Vicky Carter, our Lead Veterinary Technician, is also a certified ATS CERTIFIED ANIMAL ACUSCOPE Therapist. This is an excellent alternative therapy we provide to further broaden our toolbox to provide the best treatment protocol for your pet.
This system has been referred to as "the best kept secret in animal therapy". The instrument has successfully treated common animal problems such as pulled muscles and ligaments, inflammation, abscessed feet, and nerve paralysis. It is particularly successful in relieving or greatly reducing the swelling and pain of tissue damage occurring from athletic injury. In addition, the Acuscope has proven effective in the treatment of conditions thought to be life threatening or crippling such as laminitis, navicular problems, deep puncture wounds, deteriorating coffin bones, hip dysplasia, disc disease, and spondylolithesis.
What is Acuscope?
The Electro-Acuscope is the primary instrument, that works directly through the nervous system. This instrument gives digital readings of the cellular function to guide the therapist through the body like a roadmap.
What is Myopulse?
The Myopulse, is the companion instrument that's goal is to normalize the electromagnetic field that surrounds the soft tissue. This instrument has direct access to all soft and connective tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, & fascia.
Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse Therapy System is a modality that is applied primarily for pain relief, to improve soft tissue function, and to increase range of motion. It has proven to be effective in providing pain management for chronic conditions, accelerate the healing process for a vast range of injuries and conditions by 50% or more, and also to optimize performance.
The Acuscope differs from other electrical stimulation devices in that it delivers its' treatments in micro-amps. Most nerve stimulations devices (ordinary TENS) produce milli-amperage current designed to bombard the tissue and simply block pain signals from reaching the brain. In contrast, the Acuscope generates only the level of current required to gently encourage the nerves and muscle fibers to return to conduction of normal electrical impulses. Ordinary TENS devices provide only temporary relief, whereas a series of Acuscope treatments have a cumulative, long-term healing effect.
This therapy system also greatly differs from simple light emitting devices which are capable only of treating muscle tightness, stiffness, soreness, and discomfort primarily of overuse syndromes and uncomplicated pulls and strains.
The Acuscope's therapeutic capabilities go well beyond the treatment of animals which are "off" or just "not quite right". Acuscope Therapy is not just a "tune up" for performance. Its' advanced and sophisticated technology has been used extensively over the past twenty years, by and under the supervision of many veterinarians.
How this therapy is different:
This modality provides a biofeedback loop with real time digital readings as the therapist works through the animal’s body finding normal/abnormal readings.
The computer circuitry is programmed with information on an animal tissue norms and allows the instrument to never over stimulate.
