Ordinary TENS devices, very popular in pain management today, send a blast of milli-Amperage electricity directly into the tissue in order to temporarily block pain signals from reaching the brain. TENS modalities are basically used like an analgesic pain-suppressing medication. However, the “Pain Gate” effect activated by strong current has been proven to inhibit mitochondrial production of ATP, the “fuel” required by every cell for cellular metabolism. Common TENS does not contribute to tissue repair or to resolving the underlying cause of painful neuromuscular problems. Read more in Microcurrent Research.
The Electro-Acuscope is FDA registered as a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation device. However, unlike ordinary TENS which serves to block pain signals with a blast of milli-amperage current, the highly sophisticated Acuscope helps to resolve underlying issues at a cellular level by communicating through biocompatible microcurrents. It is literally non-invasive and without discomfort to the patient during treatment. When resistance decreases, nerve cells become reactivated, nerve conductivity improves, tissue repairs, stress is reduced; results are consistently remarkable.
EMS devices similarly deliver intense, strong milliamperage currents that can increase blood flow temporarily; however, the effect is designed to tetanize (contract/twitch) muscle and with prolonged use will eventually lead to muscle fatigue, cell exhaustion, and impaired blood circulation.
The Myopulse is FDA registered in the Electrical Muscle Stim device category. However, it is unlike familiar EMS that uses a strong milli-amperage current to cause muscle contraction, tetanizes the tissue uncomfortably, and eventually results in muscle fiber exhaustion. In contrast, the Myopulse delivers imperceptible microcurrent in waveforms that match electrical fields naturally generated by connective tissue cells. Restoring normal electrical potentials to contractile cells produces immediate and obvious change in muscle, tendon, ligament and fascia. Tightness releases, swelling reduces, sprains resolve, ruptures and tears repair rapidly, blood flow improves, range of motion returns to joints. The treatment feels completely comfortable and relaxing.
Together, these units comprise a complete Neuromuscular Microcurrent Therapy System enabling doctors, nurses, physical therapists (and their well-trained assistants) in every field of physical medicine to provide remarkable, non-invasive therapeutic pain management and stress-relief therapy.
