Founded in 1997, the Thorp Institute in Encinitas specializes in pain management through FDA-registered Electro-Equiscope microcurrent technology from its suite at 317 North El Camino Real. The non-drug, non-invasive protocol uses artificial-intelligence-guided microcurrent to target chronic and acute pain at the cellular level, integrating into treatment plans managed by holistic providers such as AIM Integrative Medicine. The Electro-Equiscope device reads tissue impedance in real time and auto-adjusts output frequency and amperage, differentiating it from static TENS units that deliver fixed-parameter stimulation. Equine and veterinary applications extend the microcurrent platform beyond human patients, with protocols used by area animal practices including Coastal Animal Hospital for performance-horse recovery and small-animal pain management. The institute also operates as a certification training center, credentialing physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists in Electro-Equiscope microcurrent protocols for integration into their own clinical practices.
