How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The response curve is very consistent for most cases. According to the manufacturer's protocols, all patients require three consecutive treatments within a 72 hour period. After the initial series is complete, the patients will require a series of follow up treatments which vary depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's response to the treatments. In general, the majority of patients reach results within the first 3-4 weeks utilizing this therapy system. As one component of the FDA approval for the Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse therapy system is for pain management, they may remain in a pain free state for a significant amount of time. Literature from the manufacturer states that 25% of the patient population will receive relief or resolution within the first 1-6 treatments, 50% percent within 6-12 treatments, and the remaining 25% will receive the results in 12-24 treatments.
The more frequently treatments are provided, the sooner the tissue being treated will achieve capacitance. The cumulative effect of multiple treatments is the only way to achieve long term results, thus a series of treatments spread out over days, weeks or months is appropriate until the goal has been reached. After that, a weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly maintenance program can be initiated to keep cellular capacitance at optimum level. Horses and dogs in regular maintenance typically enjoy benefits with a shorter treatment times and can maintain those benefits for a longer period between treatments.
