Introduction

    Introduction to the Neuro Care™ 1000

    The Neuro Care™ 1000 is an FDA registered 510K Neuromuscular Electronic Stimulator(NMES), registered in August 1993. At present we are marketing internationally.

    Because of new electronic technology, the Neuro Care™ 1000 is able to achieve more muscle recruitment via high voltage, with less patient discomfort because of lower amperage. Due to this combination, a new Treatment Program© has been designed which is causing excitement in the medical community.

    Physicians and Practitioners using the Neuro Care™ 1000 and accompanying Treatment Program© are quite excited about the results. Many claim this is a genuine breakthrough in the treatment of many disorders. The results disprove some long held theories, and has opened the door to some exciting new research in medicine, as well as answering the problems found when using previous modalities of this type. This is not intended to be an exhaustive presentation, however, it is intended as a general overview and introduction.

    The Neuro Care is a brand name neuromuscular electrical stimulator. Within this we will be looking at the applications and uses in which the Neuro Care 1000™ and its Treatment Program© have proven to be successful.
