A new technique that combines the principles of acupuncture, massage, physical therapy and micro-current stimulation is successfully helping many patients with chronic pain live normal lives again. – Bruce Hocking, Acupuncturist
ETPS provides immediate pain relief, decreasing muscle rigidity and accelerating tissue repair.
ETPS can produce superior results over traditional pain therapy techniques in a fraction of the time. All without drugs, side effects, pads or gels.
What are patients saying about this treatment?
For patients who have tried other approaches to no avail, success with ETPS therapy sometimes seems miraculous. For example, a woman who was in a series of car accidents 17 years ago that left her with headaches, a frozen shoulder and chronic pain, felt she “walked like an 85-year-old woman.” After a therapist introduced her to ETPS, the woman changed dramatically: “Only half an hour after the ETPS therapist did my neck, I was able to get up and bend down. Before treatment, I couldn’t take my foot and put it on top of my other foot; after treatment, I could put that same foot on my knee!” Although the woman claimed not to know why ETPS worked, she has continued with it: “Once something works, you can’t question it.”
ETPS Benefits The many benefits of ETPS therapy include: What is ETPS?
ETPS has been a remarkable success in the fight against chronic pain. The results are so impressive using this approach that complete or substantial relief from pain may often occur in the first or second treatment. Most patients require 2-10 treatments for permanent results, with some chronic patients requiring ongoing treatments in the home setting. ETPS can be individualized to any patient's needs and applied non-invasively. ETPS stimulation is significantly more effective than any other therapies offered on the marketplace, decreasing recovery time by over 80%.
ETPS protocols bridge many different treatment philosophies to provide therapeutic responses where other modalities fail to achieve successful results. Because it is effective in the diagnosis of root causes of pain, ETPS therapy can serve as an invaluable tool to eliminating pain.
Electro Therapeutic Point Stimulation is a non-invasive integrated therapy that uses a Neurostimulator to apply very low doses of concentrated D/C (direct current – the current our body runs on) to specific groups of acupuncture, trigger and motor points.
The Neurostimulator is a hand-held battery-powered device that registers differences in surface skin resistance to locate acupoints. When located, a safe, low frequency electrical stimulus is held on the acupoint to trigger the release of endorphins. Pain relief is immediate and can be long-lasting.
ETPS is well-tolerated and can be administered to treat chronic pain, including arthritis, back problems, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, headaches, lockjaw, lower back pain, migraines, neck & shoulder pain, sport injuries, tennis elbow, whiplash, etc.
What causes chronic pain?
Chronic pain originates with neuropathy, which is caused by muscle contraction. Most chronic pain stems from the core of the body, which consists of the gait - the hips, spine, and lumbar-sacral region.
Poor posture and repetitive strain creates a ‘pool’ of micro-injuries that build up over time to impinge the nerve root. Highly acidic foods such as soda pop, coffee, and orange juice create an acidic state in the body - contributing to the tightening up of muscles.
Sometimes chronic pain disrupts the nervous system into a continuous pain mode even after the physical damage is healed. Chronic pain sufferers are often emotionally distressed as well because pain is worsened by this imbalance.
How does ETPS work?
ETPS combines Eastern and Western medicine using the principles of acupuncture, musculoskeletal trigger points, neuromuscular and neural therapies.
ETPS assists the nervous system in controlling muscle spasms, body temperature regulation and blood vessel dilation to regulate properly. It helps to rebalance the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.
The ETPS device actually changes the muscles tissue, relaxing muscles that entrap the nerves, and allowing the body to naturally relieve its own pain for long periods of time.
ETPS therapy is effective in identifying the root causes of pain – the therapeutic benefits are based on the following four principles:
Circulation response – increasing or decreasing as required
Autonomic/parasympathetic response – ‘gates’ in the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System), which covers 90% of the body
Endorphin response – released by stimulation of neural points and is a thousand times stronger than morphine without side effects
Myofascial release – relax contracted muscles to relieve interference of the nerves, reduce over-sensitivity and improve ROM (range of motion)
Scar Therapy - scars throughout the dermatomes and meridians can restrict the flow of energy, disrupt the lymphatic and circulatory systems and interfere with muscle energy
