𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒔 “𝑮𝒂𝒊𝒏” 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒆?
One of the most important parts of my Acuscope treatments is a setting called Gain. Think of Gain as a 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 or sensitivity setting that helps me narrow in on the area I’m working on. Gain can range from 0–999:
▪️𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 = 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦
▪️𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 = 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝
I use Gain at the beginning of a treatment and continue monitoring it throughout the session. This helps me make the treatment as precise as possible and gives me another way to monitor changes in a specific area.
Here’s an easy example:
Let’s say I’m working on both front feet of a horse
🐴 Left front: 𝟐𝟎 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧
🐴 Right front: 𝟏𝟐𝟎 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧
That doesn’t automatically mean the right foot is “bad” or that something is seriously wrong. Instead, it tells me that the 𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 I’m looking for in that particular area. That makes me stop and say:
“𝑶𝒌𝒂𝒚, 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔?”
It gives me another piece of information to consider as I work through the treatment and allows me to 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 how that area responds throughout the session. I often think of Gain as how much focus the Acuscope needs to apply to achieve the desired reading and just like every horse and dog is different, every area of the body can respond differently.
📈𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐈’𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧.
One important thing to understand: a higher Gain number does NOT automatically mean your horse or dog is seriously injured or needs an emergency trip to the veterinarian. It is simply one of the measurements/settings I use to help guide my treatment and identify areas that may deserve closer attention.
The numbers themselves aren’t the most important part, the changes and patterns I can observe throughout the treatment are.
