Avoid ACL Surgery, Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery, Carpal Tunnel, Back Pain, or TMJ Surgery

All ARPwave treatments work on the principle that joint problems, tears, sprains, fractures, or repetitive task injuries are caused by muscles not properly absorbing force. This energy propagates to tissue not intended to accept the force. We find the muscles that are incapable of doing their job and treat them to eliminate the cause. Most of the time, the symptom of pain or weakness will be resolved. We do not treat the specific bone fracture, joint problem, or tear, but treat the muscles so they can do their job supporting these areas. ARP is an acronym for Accelerated Recovery Performance, a system comprised of proprietary technology and protocols created by Denis Thompson, founder of the ARPwave system.

How is it different?

The electrical stimulation device (the ARP) possesses specification characteristics that are not found in any conventional therapeutic neuromuscular electrical stimulator (interferential, microcurrent, galvanic, Russian stim, iontophoresis).

The ARP uses direct current (DC) compounded with a high frequency double exponential, patented background waveform. This background wave is harmonious with the body and significantly reduces skin and fatty tissue impedance allowing much deeper penetration of the direct current without the side effects of skin burning.

Also, the unique waveform produces minimal inhibitory protective muscle contractions allowing active range of motion during therapy and training. This permits eccentric (lengthening) contractions to occur which are critical to treatment.

ARP treatment is indicated for the treatment of all muscle related injuries.

• Relaxation of muscle spasms,
• Prevention and retardation of disuse atrophy,
• Increase of local blood circulation,
• Muscle re-education,
• Maintaining and increasing range of motion.

Post-surgical Rehabilitation
ARP protocols can also be specifically used with the ARP to accelerate muscle rehabilitation of the following:

• Shoulder
• Elbow
• Wrist
• Hip
• Knee
• Ankle
• Foot
• Cervical and Lumbar spine
