Details matter—especially when it comes to your equine athlete and companion.
Being ATS Certified is key in this field. Using FDA-approved accessories, rather than homemade electrodes, is essential.
It’s all in the details.
Unapproved solutions, like ultrasound gel, have been scientifically shown to be incompatible with the instrument’s biofeedback system—they can overstimulate or dampen the response, causing unwanted voltages that distort the waveform, known as "electrical stinging," and ultimately undermine the intended tissue recovery benefits.
ONLY ATS holds exclusive rights to the precise calibration of animal tissue for the Acuscope and Myopulse instruments.
People often say,
"Oh, my instrument is calibrated for both human and animal tissue,"
But in reality, each instrument can only have one calibration—either animal or human, not both.
Some might claim, "The ultrasound gel works the same," but the science proves otherwise. Unapproved solutions, like ultrasound gel, disrupt the biofeedback, causing overstimulation, reduced responses, and waveform distortions—negating the therapeutic benefits.
Details matter.
As an ATS Certified therapist, I have access to the right tools—FDA-approved for my instruments. My electrodes come directly from the manufacturer, not from someone’s garage. My electrode solution is genuine, straight from the source—not from a random online shop.
Details matter when choosing a therapist.
Ask questions, be thorough, and do your horse a favor—check the details before letting just anyone with an Acuscope work on your horse. ❤️
