Diapulse Treatment Protocol And
Settings |
In my many years of experience with Diapulse electromagnetic
field treatments I have learned some very beneficial and effecting
"Application Protocol Guidelines". They include
but are not just limited to the following: 1.
Sleeping While Being Treated
If the patient goes to sleep while being treated he or she is
not to be awakened. They should
only be awaken under their normal biological
influences. In the sleeping state the healing process
is working at its fasted and best
possible rate. 2. Multiple Treatment Areas
It is more beneficial to treat move that
just the effected or complaint area.
The additional treatment areas that should include limited to
one or more of the below areas:
1. The related spinal region that innervates
the effected area or
region of complaint 2. Liver
3. Common Iliac arteries on either inner
thigh 4. Pancreas
5. Spleen 6. Heart
7. Kidneys 3. Treatment times
Treatment times can range from as short
as 15 minutes through a continuous
"On" operation. In spinal compression fractures
and broken bones I have found a
continuous ON operation is necessary
to control and eliminate pain while greatly reduce, controlling
and stabilizing swelling and edema.
Also I have found that if the patient
goes to sleep while under Diapulse treatment
that they should be allows to awake under their
own biological awakening systems for gaining maximum benefit
4. Skin Temperature
Even though the Diapulse in non-thermal (does not produce heat)
I have found that when the body's healing
metabolic mechanism is activated it produces
an internal healing fever that normally ranges
from 101 to 102.5 degrees F. And since temperature cost
energy calories I cover the area with
a terry cloth towel to assist in
maintaining that body temperature. Next let's take a look
at the company recommended treatment
times and settings. |
| Diapulse Treatments & Settings |
There has been a large number of request
to discuss the treatment settings I found to be very effective
when treating a full range of advanced motocross injuries such
as broken bones, spinal vertebral and spinal cord injuries,
head injuries, strokes, coma, tail pipe burns, and skin ulcerations.
All were treated very successfully with Diapulse. Patient
Placement Requirements
Patient comfort comes first, preferably lying down is best as
most patients will probably go to sleep as their healing process
is activated. However, some conditions are treated better
when the patient is sittings up, such as sinus conditions. The
patient does not need to disrobe. They can stay fully
dressed as the Diapulse treating head can be placed directly
on the effected area even if the area is casted. Remember
the Diapulse's electromagnetic healing rays will go right through
clothing, sterile dressing, or a cast. But also remember
the treatment head surface must be in direct contract or touching
the effected treatment site. Location
Of Treatment
Diapulse treatments can be performed while the patient is lying
on a treatment table, in bed, or sitting in a chair. It
is normal to find the patient sleeping during the treatment
as the body selectively shuts down its normal activities as
its healing processes are activated. Time
Of Treatment
Each treatment time should lasts from 15 to 30 minutes minimum.
However, I have found that the more severe the injury the longer
each treatment time must be. A Diapulse can successfully
treat many patients a day. Treatments involving a severity
level of 4/10 to 6/10 can be treated twice a day (BID) such
as broken bones, spinal core injuries, or skin ulcers.
And remember that twice a day is much better than twice as long.
Treatments requiring three times a day (TID) usually involve
a severity level that ranges from 6/10 to 8/10. Conditions
that range 8/10 and above probably will require many hours per
treatment as the Diapulse's treating electromagnetic field eliminates
the pain, swelling, and discomfort. All broken bones,
spinal cord injuries, and skin ulcers require a minimum of 30
minutes for each treatment. Frequency Of Treatments
Standard treatment protocol dictates the more severe the problem
the more frequent the daily treatment. As a general rule
I have found for more sever conditions who's severity levels
is at or above 4/10 will require at least two treatments daily
(BID). More severe conditions will require three treatments
daily (TID). And all 8/10 and above will require are treated
QID or four times per day. All healing times are greatly shortened
with the correct daily frequency. |
| Diapulse Power Setting |
The Diapulse has two-selected setting for
each treatment. Both are selected and set before the treatment
begins.
1. Peak Power
2. Pulse Frequency 
Diapulse on Stand-by with the Peak Power
on 6 and the Pulse Frequency on 600
1. Peak Power (The Upper Panel)
The Upper panel on the machine is Peak Power. This setting
determines the magnetic wave depth of penetration. The
values range from 1 through 6. Value
1 is for shallow depths (approximately 1") and value 6
is a maximum penetration depth (approximately 6").
2. Pulse Frequency (The Lower panel)
The Lower Panel on the machine is the Pulse Frequency.
This setting determines the number of electromagnetic energy
pulses per second (pps). The pulse frequency ranges from 80
pps to 600 ppm.
Because the duration of each pulse is constant, the intensity
of the total electromagnetic power employed can be varied over
a broad spectrum by correlating the settings of the pulse frequency
with the settings of the peak power output. |
| Power Setting Chart |
1. Peak Power (PP)
A. 1, 2, & 3 All
Skin Inflammations = burns, sutures, cuts,
abrasions, etc. B. 4, 5, & 6
All Acute thru Chronic treatments = follow-up post operative
treatments, all bony areas, striated muscles and joints including
hands & sinus, striated muscles, pain, sprains & strain,
fractures, swelling, edema, strokes, heart conditions, comas,
skin ulcers. Etc. 2. Pulse Frequency
(PF) A. 80 thru 300 = Smooth
muscle spasms, acute nerves
such as sciatica, burns, pain, etc. B.
400
= All acute inflammatory conditions, injuries
(within 24 hours) or same day related C. 500
= Subacute injuries (48 hours on) D. 600
= All chronic conditions, broken bones,
spinal cord injuries, deep bruises, strokes,
heart conditions, comas, and skin ulcers Total
Number Of Treatments (Guideline)
1. Acute Conditions = Should see results within
1 to 10 treatments
2. Chronic Conditions = Should see results within 10 to 30 treatments
Remember - No treatment under 15 minutes over the affected area.
And the longer the treatment the better the results. The more
severe the problems the longer each treatment time should be.
If the patient is asleep while on the Diapulse do not awake
them and continue the treatment until they wake up on their
own. The body heals at its fastest possible rate during
the sleep phase. Acute Nerve Inflammation
Low back pain, as almost all chronic pain, responds very well
with a Diapulse setting of 6 and 300 or 6 and 400 over the primary
site of actual pain.
What Conditions Can Diapulse Be Used On?
Any and all acute, subacute, & chronic conditions involving
all connective tissue and postoperative edema and pain.
Diapulse can be used safely over any area of the body with no
danger of hyperpyrexia or tissue damage. It can be placed
directly on any cast to heal broken bones. It can be used directly
over metal implants to heal the surrounding tissues. It has
been found to regenerate nerve tissue. And is the only therapy
approved by the FDA to treat an area immediately following surgery.
Contra-Indication = None |
| Warnings |
Diapulse should not be used on patients using
electronic cardiac pacemakers or on patients with metallic implants
in the area of application. Hearing aids may have to be
removed before treatment begins.
1. Diapulse should not be used on pregnant or skeletally immature
patients
2. The long-term biologic effect of pulsed electromagnetic energies
are not known at this time.
