Healing Waves

What Healing Waves does

Healing Waves, LLC is a privately-held Washington State LLC founded in 2010 that operates as a single-location Pacific Northwest distributor and direct treatment provider for FDA-approved Class II Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse microcurrent medical devices. The company functions in two intertwined capacities: as an authorized sales representative and channel partner for the Thorp Institute (facilitating equipment purchases, training referrals, and the import/setup process for licensed practitioners) and as a direct provider of in-office treatment sessions requiring referrals from licensed medical practitioners (naturopaths, physical therapists, and similar). Its addressable use cases span chronic and acute pain management, neurological tissue repair, connective tissue healing (bone, muscle, tendon, ligament), sports injury recovery, wound healing, and adjacent wellness applications including detoxification, beauty/facial rejuvenation, and stress/insomnia treatment via the portable Neuroscope CES device.

The underlying technology combines Western microcurrent electronics with Eastern acupuncture principles, grounded in Nobel Prize-winning ion channel research (Neher and Sakmann, 1991). Core devices include the Electro-Acuscope 85P (portable, dual-channel), Models 75-80L (laboratory series), Model 70C (compact pain/trauma management), and the Neuroscope (portable CES for anxiety/depression/insomnia/substance withdrawal). Each uses a biofeedback "read-treat" mechanism: a microprocessor reads tissue at the cellular level, compares readings to optimal tissue states, and delivers corrective microcurrent signals until electrical flow normalizes, distinguishing the platform from conventional TENS devices. The portfolio is supplemented by SCIO biofeedback device distribution, Bio-Mat infrared amethyst products, therapeutic-grade essential oils, and a full accessories line.

Healing Waves generates revenue through one-time equipment sales (quote-based with financing available), pay-as-you-go treatment sessions priced at $65 per hour and $100 per 1.5 hours, and ancillary product sales. Distribution is entirely contact-based with no e-commerce functionality; lead flow comes from a content-rich website, practitioner referrals, and brand equity inherited from historical endorsements of the broader Acuscope/Myopulse technology (Vatican under Pope John Paul II, elite athletes including Terry Bradshaw, Wayne Gretzky, Joe Montana, Jack Nicklaus, and Olympic swimmer Brad Schumacher; medical center endorsements at Cedar Sinai, UCLA, Maui Memorial). The company does not accept insurance and operates exclusively in the USA Pacific Northwest from its Vancouver, WA headquarters.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Chattanooga Group (DJO Global / Enovis): Dominant broad-line manufacturer of rehabilitation and electrotherapy equipment (TENS, NMES, ultrasound) sold into insurance-reimbursed PT clinics; overlapping capability with Acuscope/Myopulse but at much larger scale across multiple modalities.

Direct peers

• Zynex Medical: Public medical device company selling TENS, NMES, and electrotherapy devices direct to consumers and clinics; comparable in electrotherapy modality and direct-to-patient go-to-market approach.
• iReliev: Consumer and clinical microcurrent/TENS/EMS device brand selling direct-to-consumer online; competes with Healing Waves' microcurrent positioning at lower price points with modern e-commerce and app-enabled hardware.
• Alpha-Stim (Electromedical Products International): Market-leading FDA-cleared cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device for anxiety, insomnia, and depression; directly comparable to Healing Waves' Neuroscope CES product and a benchmark for clinical positioning in the CES category.
• Mettler Electronics: Long-standing manufacturer of clinical electrotherapy, ultrasound, and microcurrent devices used in physical therapy and rehab clinics; directly competes with Acuscope/Myopulse in the practitioner-channel electrotherapy market.
• Rich-Mar (a brand of Mettler): Brand of therapeutic ultrasound and electrotherapy stimulation devices widely used in physical therapy clinics; directly comparable modality stack to Acuscope/Myopulse in the rehabilitation channel.
• BioMedical Design Inc. Manufacturer of the Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse devices since 1974; the upstream producer of the exact products Healing Waves sells and distributes, making it the most direct comparability anchor for the core technology line.
• Current Solutions: Manufacturer of clinical and consumer electrotherapy devices (TENS, EMS, IFC) sold to PT clinics and direct to consumers; comparable modality and customer overlap with Healing Waves' practitioner channel.

Emerging players

• Fisher Wallace Laboratories: Maker of a CES wearable device for depression, anxiety, and insomnia sold direct-to-consumer via telehealth; competes with the Neuroscope in the same CES regulatory and clinical category with a more modern digital go-to-market.

Others

• Thorp Institute: Training and certification body for Acuscope/Myopulse practitioners (40-hour program) and the originating authority for the treatment protocols Healing Waves promotes; not a competitor but a tightly coupled ecosystem partner whose strategy directly affects Healing Waves' positioning.
