The Changing Face of Medicine
The last decade has seen a shift in the way Americans view
medicine. Despite the various benefits of pharmacological treatments, problems
such as side effects and addictiveness have demonstrated to many in the medical
community a need for investigation into new approaches to patient care. As such,
many physicians have found that electromedicine offers a viable and
effective alternative to drug therapies. Having been used in many other
countries for decades, U.S. practitioners are now finding that there are many
inherent advantages to electromedicine. These include:
| Non-invasive
|
Easy to administer
|
| Non-toxic
|
Safe and effective
|
| Minimal side effects, easily
avoided
|
Reimbursable
|
Consequently, an increasing number of clinics, hospitals, and private
practices across the country are re-evaluating their treatment options with the
application of electromedicine in mind.
What is Electromedicine?
Put simply, electromedicine is a discipline within the field of medicine that
deals with the use of electricity to aid in the treatment of a variety of
physical ailments.
How Does Electromedicine Work?
In basic terms the science is this. Electricity is found naturally in all of
us. Certain electrical impulses in our bodies help facilitate bodily functions
including actions needed for healing. By mimicking the electrical impulses that
occur in us, we can help facilitate a specific effect. Electromedicine is able
to trigger these impulses by varying the frequency, wave length, intensity, and
location of the electricity applied to the patient. Understanding how these
elements interplay to create a desired effect is the basis for the science.
A Brief History of Electromedicine.
Electromedicine, or the use of electricity to treat physical ailments, is
considered one of the oldest and most documented sciences known. Medical
professionals of ancient Greece learned that the electrical impulses emitted
from electric eels in clinical foot baths relieved pain and produced a favorable
influence on the blood circulation. Doctors Largus and Dioscorides (cc 46 AD)
documented substantial therapeutic results with electrical currents in
circulatory disorders and in the management of pain from neuralgia, headache and
arthritis.
In the 1700s, European physicians used controlled electrical currents from
electrostatic generators almost exclusively for numerous medical problems
involving pain and circulatory dysfunction. During that period, Benjamin
Franklin also documented pain relief by using electrical currents for "frozen
shoulder."
In fact by 1910, approximately 50% of all U.S. physicians used
electromedicine in their practice daily. Unfortunately for the science, an
incorrect and unfair report emerged at this time. This report, produced by
powerful special interest groups, discredited the value of both electromedicine
and nutrition in medical practice. With fear of condemnation from certain
medical institutions, (that were funded by these special interest groups),
almost all American physicians abandoned electromedicine and nutrition from
their practices. Although nutrition has re-established itself as a credible
medical discipline in the U.S., electromedicine continues to face both the same
special interest groups and the widespread prevailing misconceptions about the
science.

CLINICAL
USAGE:
To stimulate peripheral nerves for the purpose of
providing pain relief and to stimulate
motor nerves for the purpose of
providing muscle re-education
Chronic pain conditions
Adjunctive treatment
of post-traumatic pain syndromes
Management and symptomatic relief of chronic
(long-term) pain
Adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain
problems;
Relaxation of muscles spasms
Prevention or retardation of
disuse atrophy
Muscle re-education
Increasing local blood
circulation
Immediate post surgical stimulation of the calf muscles to
prevent phlebothrombosis
Maintaining and increasing range of
motion
CLINICAL
BENEFITS:
Non-invasive, non-toxic, safe and
effective.
Minimal side effects, easily avoided.
High patient compliance
and satisfaction.
Easily administered by existing staff
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
The PRO ElecDT® 2000 system utilizes the
internationally patented HORIZONTAL therapy in addition to being capable of
administered and / or automatically alternating between all other known
electroceutical parameters for topical and endogenous treatment. Programmed
ready operation allows the physician the choice of 200 pre-programmed protocols
or the ability to develop customized protocols based on specific patient
parameters.
REVENUE GENERATION:
Bioelectric
treatment utilizes several existing CPT codes and produces superior
reimbursement revenue generation for the practice. Actual reimbursement varies
according to billing specialty and regional reimbursement averages.
INDICATIONS Pain
Management
- For adjunctive treatment of post-traumatic pain syndromes
- For management and symptomatic relief of chronic (long-term) intractable
pain
- As an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain
problems
Muscle Stimulation
- Relaxation of muscle spasms
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
- Increasing local blood circulation
- Muscle reeducation
- Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscle to prevent
phlebothrombosis
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion
EMS devices should only
be used under medical supervision for adjunctive treatment of medical diseases
and conditions.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Thrombophlebitis
- Manifest thrombosis
- Cardiac demand pacemaker
- Acute danger of hemorrhage
- Disturbances in cardiac rhythm
- In tetany, caution should be exercised in dosing.
- Acute local inflammatory processes caused by bacterial or viral infection
(for example: furuncle phlegmon, herpes simplex, acute herpes zoster)
- Do not stimulate over carotid sinus!
- Do not stimulate transcerebally!
- Should not be used on cancer patients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
- Federal law restricts the sale, distribution, or use of this unit to, by, or
on the lawful order of a licensed practitioner.
- The safety of interferential current units for use during pregnancy or
delivery has not been established.
- Keep the units out of the reach of children.
- In pain management, medical professionals using interferential current
stimulators are accustomed to set intensity of the units above sensory and below
motor threshold. In a few rare cases, the licensed practitioner might observe a
motor contraction whereas the patient still will not report skin sensation.
Therefore, in these cases the licensed practitioner should observe the
contraction, and treat below motor threshold and be aware that in some cases
reduced skin sensitivity might exist.
- Avoid too strong pressure of the vacuum. Adjust the pressure at the minimum
required to ensure a firm contact of the vacuum electrodes.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is ineffective for pain of
central origin.
- Pay attention to contraindications, precautions and try to avoid adverse
effects!
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is of no curative value.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a symptomatic treatment and
as such it suppresses the sensation of pain.
- Electronic monitoring equipment such as ECG monitors or ECG alarms will not
operate properly when a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is in
use.
- The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
- Adequate precautions should be taken in the case of persons with suspected
heart problems.
- Adequate precautions should be taken in the case of persons with suspected
or diagnosed epilepsy.
- Caution should be used in the
transthoracic
