For Clients seeking relief from pain that they have not achieved through standard Western Medicine modalities, or for Clients that wish relief from pain apart from continual drug usage, we offer Treatment Plans (prescribed by a Health Care Professional) that are specifically tailored to your needs. We also offer demonstration treatments should you be interested in purchasing the Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse under prescription by a Health Care Professional. For the Health Care Professional, we can provide you the means to significantly increase your revenue stream and provide your clients with a proven Therapeutic Solution which: Ø has a 90% success rate Ø addresses conditions often unsuccessfully addressed by traditional Western Medicine Ø is completely non-invasive Ø employs “Best-in-Class” Protocols developed through over 50,000 treatments Ø employs FDA approved equipment Ø is insurance reimbursable in most cases Ø is immediately available to your business with no out-of-pocket expense Our professional Team of Thorp Institute trained technicians is immediately available to provide your practice with this profoundly effective therapy. Any of our Team Members, working in your facility, brings your practice the most effective microcurrent therapy available, developed through the more than 50,000 treatments the Thorp Institute has managed. In the event you are interested in purchasing the Acuscope and/or Myopulse, we are able to arrange and expedite equipment purchase and training. For individual Clients or Health Care Professionals, The San Jose Thorp Institute Team is available to answer any questions you might have about Microcurrent Therapy, the Thorp Protocols and the Acuscope/Myopulse System. We are also available to provide a demonstration to show the effectiveness of the treatment. Please contact any of the Team members found on this site for further information. MicroCurrent NotesMicrocurrent is an electrical treatment modality providing current in millionths of an ampere that has the ability to relieve pain, increase the rate of wound healing, increase protein synthesis, stimulate the regeneration of injured tissue, stimulate lymphatic flow, relieve myofascial trigger points, and change scar tissue. Microcurrent is an electrical treatment modality providing current in millionths of an ampere that has the ability to relieve pain, increase the rate of wound healing, increase protein synthesis, stimulate the regeneration of injured tissue, stimulate lymphatic flow, relieve myofascial trigger points, and change scar tissue. A "micro" current (microamp = uA) is a measurement of electricity that is so small that it is subsensory and does not, for example, stimulate muscular contraction as higher current milliamp TENs units do. Microamperage current is very close to the current that our bodies produce. As a result, Microcurrent applied to injured tissue supports the natural current flow in the tissue, allowing cells in the traumatized area to regain their capacitance.Each living cell is surrounded by a membrane which separates the world within the cell from its exterior. As Drs. Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann proved in their Nobel Prize winning research, in this membrane are ion channels through which the cell communicates with its surroundings and perform their normal metabolic functions, for example the infusion of energy and elimination of waste products. Incredibly small electrical currents (amounting to a picoampere - 10-12A) pass through a single ion channel. The regulation of ion channels influences the life of the cell and its functions under normal and pathological conditions. The proper, or natural, electrical potential of the cell is critical to the effective operation of the ion channels. However, trauma affects the electrical potential of the damaged tissue. The injured area has a higher electrical resistance than the surrounding tissue. This decreases electrical conductance through the injured area, and decreases cellular capacitance, leading to impaired functioning of the ion channels, resulting in the cell’s inability to generate energy and eliminate toxins. The application of microcurrent has been found to have a profound positive influence on returning traumatized cells to their normal electrical balance by reducing the traumatized cell’s resistance and restoring normal capacitance. Once balance has been restored, cells are able to regain their appropriate capacitance, allowing proper operation of their ion channels which facilitates the influx of nutrients and elimination of waste products. In short, the cell returns to a healthy metabolic state. Different cells respond differently to varying microamperage, frequency levels and treatment duration. Optimum benefits are achieved when the microcurrent level, frequency and duration are matched specifically to the type of tissue being treated or the type of trauma suffered. The Thorp Institute’s Protocols, developed through more than 50,000 treatments with the Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse provides “Best-in-Class” results for Microcurrent Therapy.
