Equine & Canine Electro-Acuscope & Myopulse Therapy
Most Commonly Treated Conditions
Over the last two decades, the Acuscope & Myopulse Therapy System has been used extensively in the treatment of both large and small animals. It has been successfully applied to a wide range of neuro-muscular conditions commonly affecting animal athletes participating in every area of competition:
Racing (all breeds)
Harness and Barrel Racing
Roping, Cutting, and Reining
Dressage and Show Horses
Jumping, Cross-Country, Polo, and Endurance
Sled Dog Racing (endurance and sprint)
Field Trial Dogs
Agility Dogs

In each of these fields, injuries frequently occur. Injury can result in an inability to perform competitively. Acute conditions often become chronic problems if not handled immediately. Without proper treatment, seemingly minor problems may become seriously complicated.
