1. A veterinarian system for treating an animal, the system comprising:
a display including a LCD or other type of screen and configured to display information associated with the treatment of the animal, the display configured to provide for the selection of a type of animal to be treated and a region of the animal to be treated, the region of the animal being shown as an image of the region on the display, a trigger point associated with the treatment of the animal being identified on the image; an input in electrical communication with the display and including a key board, touch screen, or other type of input mechanism, the input configured to receive information associated with the treatment of the animal to be delivered at the trigger point; a CPU in electrical communication with the input; a memory in electrical communication with the CPU and including treatment parameters associated with the treatment of the animal to be delivered at the trigger point; a first RF head capable of being placed in electrical communication with the CPU and comprising an array of piezoelectric transducers, the array configured to generate RF over a range of frequencies not possible via a single piezoelectric transducer; and a RF receiver antenna capable of being placed in electrical communication with the CPU and configured to detect RF energy transmitted through the tissue from the first RF head; a plurality of second RF heads, each second RF head having a piezoelectric transducer tuned to a unique frequency and capable of being placed in electrical communication with the CPU; and an EMG sensor capable of being placed in electrical communication with the CPU and configured to detect electromyogram in tissue at the trigger point; wherein, when the first RF head and RF receiver antenna are applied to the tissue at the trigger point, the system is configured to: a) cause the first RF head to administer RF energy to the tissue over a range of RF frequencies; b) cause the RF receiver antenna to sense the administered RF energy transmitted through the tissue; c) identify which RF frequency of the range of RF frequencies administered to the tissue has the most transmissitivity through the tissue; and d) recommend a second RF head of the plurality of RF heads that is capable of providing the identified RF frequency, wherein, when the recommended second RF head and EMG sensor are applied to the tissue, the system is configured to: a) cause the recommended second RF head to administer RF energy at the identified RF frequency to the tissue over a range of pulse frequencies; b) cause the EMG sensor to detect electromyogram in the tissue arising due to the RF energy administered to the tissue over the range of pulse frequencies; c) identify which pulse frequency of the range of pulse frequencies administered to the tissue causes the highest electromyogram readings in the tissue; and d) treat the tissue with the recommended second RF head at the indentified RF frequency at the identified pulse frequency. |
