Microcurrent Therapy
What is Microcurrent Therapy and Why is it Beneficial for Your Equine Partner?
Microcurrent therapy is an advanced, FDA-approved modality that uses low-level electrical currents to mimic the body's natural bioelectric signals. These currents stimulate cellular repair, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, promoting faster and more efficient healing. Specifically designed for equine care, microcurrent therapy is non-invasive, gentle, and tailored to address your horse's unique needs. Whether recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or enhancing performance, this cutting-edge approach provides a powerful solution for your equine partner's health and well-being.
5 Amazing Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy for Horses:
-
Accelerates Recovery: Promotes faster healing of injuries, including tendon, ligament, and muscle damage.
-
Reduces Inflammation: Effectively alleviates swelling and chronic pain associated with inflammation.
-
Enhances Circulation: Improves blood flow to support tissue repair and overall health.
-
Customizable Treatments: Biofeedback technology ensures precise, personalized care tailored to your horse’s needs.
-
Non-Invasive and Gentle: Provides safe and stress-free therapy without overstimulating sensitive tissues.
The Difference Between Microcurrent Therapy and PEMF Therapy for Equines
Microcurrent Therapy and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy are both advanced modalities used to enhance equine health, but they work in distinct ways and target different aspects of recovery and performance.
-
Microcurrent Therapy: It's an FDA-approved treatment designed to support your horse’s nervous system and overall recovery. Using biofeedback technology, these advanced instruments read your horse’s unique electrical signals and adjust treatments in real-time, ensuring precise and personalized care. This gentle yet highly effective therapy promotes nerve repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing, making it an excellent choice for addressing conditions like neuropathy, muscle tension, and soft tissue injuries. With its non-invasive approach, microcurrent therapy helps restore balance and optimize your horse’s health and performance.
-
PEMF Therapy: This modality uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to improve cellular function by stimulating the body’s natural magnetic fields. PEMF therapy is especially effective for increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain in larger areas. It works by penetrating deeper into the body to enhance blood flow and oxygenation, making it ideal for addressing joint issues, bone healing, and overall energy restoration.
Key Differences:
-
Mechanism of Action: Microcurrent uses electrical currents for cellular repair, while PEMF uses magnetic fields to stimulate overall cellular function.
-
Targeted vs. Broad: Microcurrent therapy is more targeted, with biofeedback ensuring precise treatments, whereas PEMF therapy works broadly on large areas of the body.
-
Best for Specific Needs: Microcurrent excels in nerve health and soft tissue recovery, while PEMF is better for bone healing, joint health, and whole-body rejuvenation.
Both therapies are non-invasive, complementary, and highly beneficial for equines, offering different approaches to support recovery, manage pain, and optimize performance. The choice between the two depends on your horse’s specific needs and health goals.

By delivering gentle, low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural signals, the Acuscope promotes nerve repair, reduces pain, and restores proper function.
Conditions the Acuscope Can Treat:
-
Chronic Conditions:
-
Neuropathy
-
Chronic pain
-
Sciatic nerve issues
-
Arthritis
-
Degenerative nerve conditions
-
-
Acute Conditions:
-
Nerve trauma from injury
-
Swelling and inflammation from surgery or wounds
-
Muscle spasms caused by nerve irritation
-
Acute lameness due to nerve damage
-
The Acuscope is a highly targeted therapy, ideal for addressing the root cause of nerve dysfunction. By supporting the nervous system’s recovery, it helps accelerate healing, reduce downtime, and improve your horse’s overall comfort and performance.
What is the Electro Myopulse Instrument?
The Electro Myopulse is an FDA-approved microcurrent therapy instrument designed to target and treat soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Using advanced biofeedback technology, it delivers precise, low-level electrical currents that stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to injured or overworked tissues. This non-invasive therapy helps accelerate healing, alleviate pain, and improve mobility, making it an invaluable tool for equine rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
Conditions the Myopulse Can Treat:
-
Chronic Conditions:
-
Muscle tightness and soreness
-
Tendonitis and ligament strain
-
Chronic inflammation in soft tissues
-
Myofascial pain syndrome
-
Fibrotic tissue from old injuries
-
-
Acute Conditions:
-
Muscle strains and tears
-
Tendon and ligament injuries
-
Swelling and inflammation from recent trauma
-
Post-surgical tissue healing
-
Acute lameness due to soft tissue injury
-
By directly targeting the soft tissues, the Myopulse not only promotes faster healing but also improves circulation and reduces the risk of reinjury. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply in need of improved muscular health, the Electro Myopulse provides a powerful and effective solution tailored to their needs.
Why Every Horse Benefits from the Optimal Boost 3-Day Starter Program
The Optimal Boost 3-Day Starter Program is designed to deliver maximum results by providing consistent and cumulative therapy sessions with the Acuscope and Myopulse. Starting with three consecutive days ensures that the body receives a solid foundation for healing and repair. This program jumpstarts the recovery process by addressing nerve function, reducing inflammation, and promoting soft tissue repair in a strategic and sustained manner.
Why 3 Days in a Row?
-
Cumulative Effect: Microcurrent therapy is most effective when treatments build on one another. The consecutive sessions ensure that the body responds more efficiently, allowing for deeper and longer-lasting results.
-
Accelerated Healing: The three-day sequence allows the Acuscope to stabilize nerve function and the Myopulse to promote rapid soft tissue repair without overstimulating the body.
-
Resetting the Body: Many horses, especially those with chronic issues or recent injuries, benefit from an initial "reset" to restore electrical balance and cellular function.
-
Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can hinder the body’s healing response. Three consecutive sessions help break the cycle of inflammation and kickstart recovery.
-
Comprehensive Treatment: The Acuscope and Myopulse work synergistically, addressing both the nervous system and soft tissues. A three-day program ensures all areas of concern are targeted effectively.
This starter program establishes a strong foundation for your horse's rehabilitation, performance enhancement, or general well-being. After completing the program, your horse will be better prepared to respond to additional treatments or maintenance sessions, ensuring long-term health and optimal results.
Post Optimal Boost: How Often Should My Horse Be Treated?
After completing the 3-Day Optimal Boost Starter Program, the frequency of treatments depends on your horse’s specific condition, health goals, and response to therapy. Most horses benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions during the initial rehabilitation phase to maintain progress and continue healing. For maintenance or performance enhancement, monthly treatments may be sufficient.
When Will You See Lasting Results?
The number of sessions required for lasting results varies based on the severity and type of condition being treated:
-
Acute Conditions: Many horses show noticeable improvements after 3-5 sessions, with significant results as healing progresses.
-
Chronic Conditions: For long standing issues such as arthritis, tendon injuries, or nerve-related lameness, consistent treatments over 6-10 sessions may be needed to achieve and sustain lasting relief.
-
Performance Enhancement or Maintenance: Horses in active training often benefit from ongoing monthly treatments to optimize recovery and maintain peak performance.
Microcurrent therapy works cumulatively, meaning each session builds on the previous one. While some improvement is often seen after the first few sessions, lasting results are achieved through a structured and consistent treatment plan tailored to your horse's needs. Regular follow-ups ensure that your horse continues to recover, perform, and feel their best.
