How does this device work to reduce pain and assist with healing?

Simply put, this device assist the body to achieve homeostasis, which is its natural state of well being, by correcting electrical abnormalities in area of disease or injury.

However, in order to adequately explain how the Electro-Acuscope works, it is appropriate to begin by considering certain fundamental aspects of living tissue. The body is made up of a vast number of cells. In many ways, these cells act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy, doing their work of taking in nutrients, releasing waste products, repairing and reproducing themselves, etc. Each cell, like any battery, has a measurable electrical charge, which must be maintained in order to function properly.

Energy flows constantly between all cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body. When damage or trauma occurs to living tissue, there is a disruption in the electrical capacity of the involved cells and after an initial surge, there results a measurable decrease in the production and flow of energy through the electrical network of the involved tissues. This condition is generally accompanied by pain in the area and often results in the body's inability to completely repair itself. Thus, lengthy rest periods and inactivity are often prescribed in order to attain eventual restoration of normal function. The Electro-Acuscope treatments have been likened to putting a "jump start" on the dead battery of a car.

Since the instrument has both feedback and therapeutic functions, it actually provides auditory and numerical readouts, which indicate the locations where tissue is damaged, or unhealthy. Once abnormal areas are located, the devices can then treat the tissue according to its needs. An experienced therapist can interpret the sounds and numbers, which reflect the amount of conductivity passing through the tissue between treatment probes and can determine a course of therapy based upon these readings.
