1. A method of electro-therapeutic diagnosis to determine a location of cellular disruption in muscle tissue of a patient, comprising:
- transdermally applying an electric diagnosis signal by placement of at least a first electrode and a second electrode on the patient'"'"'s skin, the electric diagnosis signal having an electric diagnosis signal waveform comprising;
a periodic-exponential background pulse at a frequency of 1 to 1000 kilohertz;
moving the first electrode across the patient'"'"'s skin while the second electrode is placed at a stationary anchor location, thereby locating a first cellular disruption end point where a sensation cognitively felt by the patient associated with the background pulse is maximized; and
while the first electrode is at the first cellular disruption end point, moving the second electrode across the patient'"'"'s skin, thereby locating an opposing cellular disruption end point where the sensation cognitively felt by the patient associated with the background pulse is maximized.

Abstract
A method of electro-therapeutic stimulation uses an electrical signal with a periodic-exponential background pulse over a controllable periodic-exponential main pulse. By properly setting the signal and moving electrodes to proper locations on the body, the signal is used to electro-therapeutically return a patient to a state of neurological balance, to identify specific cellular disruption locations, to treat the identified cellular disruption locations including performing a pain associated movement, and to neurologically train from a facilitator muscle to one or more receiver muscles.

11. A method of electro-therapeutic adjustment in muscle tissue of a patient, comprising:
-
placing first and second electrodes of a first electrode pair on the patient'"'"'s skin across a muscle; transdermally applying an electric adjustment signal across the first electrode pair, the electric adjustment signal comprising; a background pulse at a frequency over 1 kilohertz; and a main pulse at a lower frequency than the background pulse and at a controllable power level; adjusting power of at least the main pulse of the electric adjustment signal, based on feedback from the patient, to a level felt by the patient which does not cause pain or discomfort; during application of the adjusted electric adjustment signal, having the patient perform repetitions of controlled movements of a joint. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of electro-therapeutic treatment is to address pain in a movement, comprising:
-
identifying cellular disruption end points on the patient'"'"'s body which are remote from a location of the pain; transdermally applying an electric treatment signal by electrodes placed at the cellular disruption end points, the electric treatment signal comprising; a periodic-exponential background pulse at a frequency over 1 kilohertz; and a periodic-exponential main pulse at a frequency of 1 to 400 hertz; adjusting power on the main pulse of the electric treatment signal to a threshold where the patient compensates in response to the electric treatment signal; having the patient perform the movement associated with the pain being addressed for a number of repetitions while applying the electric treatment signal at the adjusted power; increasing power on the main pulse of the electric treatment signal; and having the patient repeat the movement for a number of repetitions while applying the electric treatment signal at the increased power.

17. A method of electro-therapeutic training, comprising:
-
identifying a facilitator muscle out of a communicating muscle group which has a higher level of neuro-muscular communication than receiver muscles within that communicating muscle group; and transdermally applying an electro-therapeutic training signal by at least one electrode pair, with a first electrode of the electrode pair placed on the facilitator muscle and a second electrode of the electrode pair placed on one receiver muscle, the electric training signal comprising; a periodic-exponential background pulse at a frequency over 1 kilohertz; and a periodic-exponential main pulse at a frequency of 1 to 500 hertz; during application of the electric training signal, flexing the receiver muscles. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
