Acuscope Therapy

What it is:

The Electro-Acuscope is a human computerized instrument designed to detect and adjust abnormal energy levels in the body. It contains circuits to monitor precise energies between any two contact points, compare them with established normals, then adjust the energy as needed to match the normals.

Whenever something is not optimally balanced in your pet's body, normal energy flow runs in either too much or too little resistance. Sometimes this causes a lack of "usable tissue" like paralysis of a leg or formation of a skin sore. Other times the tissue is still there but functions abnormally. This can cause "excess function", like overproduction of gastric juices causing an ulcer, or a "decreased function", such as nerve deafness. Animal bodies are remarkably gifted at correcting these imbalances but often lack the proper amount of energy required to restore the normal balance. The computer-linked Acuscope assists in correcting that condition.

Since the computer matches the treatment with the individual's needs, response to treatment is often quite rapid. Conditions which would take days to clear up on their own may only take a few hours. Instead of taking weeks to heal some conditions, they can clear up in a few days. This time element is especially important when time is working against you, e.g. severe infections in very young or very old patients or nerve injuries.

What it is not:

There are several other devices and treatment methods that may seem similar to the acuscope. Ultrasound, infrared, magnets, and transcutaneous nerve stimulators (TENS) all lack the initial input from the body. Most, especially ultrasound and Tens, use energy levels much higher than the Acuscope. Many people and pets have been physically burned by these devices. The highest energy output of the Acuscope is equal to the energy output of a single body cell. This fact, aided by computerized monitoring and control, make the Acuscope incapable of causing injury.

If it's so good, why haven't I heard of it?

If you are a professional athlete or have had physical therapy after an injury, you probably have heard about the Acuscope for treating injuries and reducing time lost for recuperation. Recently, several physical therapy departments, including Kaiser's, have acquired these instruments.

Dr. Van Cise is still the only veterinarian in the area to utilize the benefits of Acuscope. We purchased our first one in 1984. Our patients have come to depend on it so much that we had to purchase a second one just in case the one had to be in for repairs. That's quite a commitment considering they cost as much as a small car.

What will I see?

First, the blunt probes relay energy level readings to the Acuscope. The built-in computer then compares the readings from the body with its listing of "normal" values. When the computer finds a difference between the two values, it then sends a message to the impulse generator. The Acuscope then speeds precisely the right amount of energy to the location of the imbalance to breakdown the resistance. Doctor Van Cise can determine through his physical exam, patient history, past experience, and read-outs from the Acuscope just what areas to test and treat. He customizes each treatment for every pet and their specific condition using this interplay between circulating energy levels and the computer. Once the Acuscope adjusts abnormal resistance levels, the body's own healing response corrects the problem.

What does my pet feel?

The initial sensation is wet and cool when the electrolyte solution contacts the skin. This liquid is chemically similar to the fluid inside the cells of your pet's body. Eventually it gets absorbed into the skin. When the fluid dries, the skin tends to become itchy so we try to remove as much electrolyte as possible while it is still wet.

There is no sensation other than the touch of the blunt brass tips while the computer analyzes the energy levels. Usually there is no sensation during the active treating phase. If an area is particularly tender, your pet may feel a tingle similar to when your foot "goes to sleep".

How long does it take?

Each treatment might last a few seconds or almost an hour. Your pet's condition and response to the treatment determine the number of office visits required. The frequency of visits varies with the treatment method and the patient's response.

Why would I want this for my pet?

We have used the Acuscope successfully to allow healing of various neurological problems. These include pain, paralysis, strokes, and visual defects. At least one kitten diagnosed as irreversibly bland by a Veterinary Ophthalmologist acquired functional vision after acuscope treatments. According to his owners he was born blind.

Soft tissue imbalances are also candidates for Acuscope therapy. Swellings disappear rapidly when energized by the Acuscope. It is possible to actually "erase" some types of bruises just like you erase chalk on a blackboard. Dog breeders have come to rely on the Acuscope to remove lung fluid from their puppies.

How many treatments will my pet need?

Everyone wants to know, "How many?" Plan on at least five daily treatments initially. The first two treatments must be within a twenty-four hour period to have maximum effect. Response of the particular problem treated dictates the number of treatments beyond the initial five. Some conditions clear up entirely in less than five treatments. The individual patient's needs, rather than an arbitrary time schedule, determine the spacing of any follow-up treatments.
