Biofeedback Pain Relief & Relaxation The Centre offers a highly effective, non-invasive means of pain relief and stress-removal through biofeedback devices. We use both the original SCENAR device and the newer technology Tennant Biomodulation devices, that reach into the body and support processes at the cellular level. This twenty-first-century pain relief and structural relief therapy combines benefits of osteopathy, chiropractic, craniosacral therapy and acupuncture by energetically communicating with the body's cells directly, rather than indirectly. Sessions are usually about 30 minutes long. It is more effective to have frequent short sessions than fewer longer ones. Once the client knows what to expect and how to use the device, they may rent a MedBest to take home for frequent self-treatment. It is vital to have scheduled follow-up appointments to evaluate the treatments and change protocols as indicated. Pain relief Direct electrostimulation of the cells allows the device to stimulate blocked cellular activity (sclerotic processes, creating chronic pain of arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica, etc.) and to relieve cellular activity that is (inflammatory processes, as in acute pain situations). Because the devise adapts its activity through biofeedback, the correct stimuli are always provided. Structural effects The ability to re-set the autonomic nervous system allows the Biomodulation Devices to correct posture, re-position the head symmetrically on its axis, and reduce the stress response. Most people are "stuck" in the sympathetic (hyper-) nerve position. This is the ‘fight or flight’ response, which is useful when we face an urgent physical threat. However, it becomes a very debilitating state when sustained over time due to the daily stresses of modern life. The SCENAR recalibrates the vagus nerve by bringing it to stimulation and relaxation. Access to this pivotal nerve allows us to balance the sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems and permit the body to relax and heal. The SCENAR technology is certified and regulated in Europe, the U.S. and Canada as a permitted medical device. Use it for Relaxation and Enjoyment CBT treatments can also help to maintain good health and to enjoy a relaxing treatment. With the wire leads and TENS pads, the device can be worn for a specific protocol that reduces overall stress and promotes healing. MedBest units are available for rental or purchase for home use - for relaxation or acute therapy. The eZZi™-Lift device is specially designed to address the appearance of minor facial wrinkles. Repeated treatments not only improve appearance, they stimulate the meridians and C-fibers for overall improvement in health. A complete eZZi™-Lift treatment includes the entire face and neck area. Typically treatment is performed every 7-10 days. (Individual results may vary). Individual muscle groups on the face may be treated between complete facial treatments. History of "SCENAR" Technology "SCENAR" is an acronym of Self-Controlled Energy Neuro-Adaptive Regulator, or short-pulse electric neuro-adaptive reflexological therapeutic stimulator. SCENAR technology was developed by a team of some 40 Russian scientists, initially for cosmonauts in space for long periods. Since urine is recycled for drinking water in space, the metabolites of any medication would be re-circulated in everyone's drinking water. The metabolites of the treatment of one person would be shared by the whole crew. The therapy was developed as a means of promoting the body's own healing processes. The device has been widely used in Russian hospitals since the early 1980’s. However, it remained a military secret until perestroika. At that time, the inventors were issued a patent for the device, and they began to make it available to the West. While continuing innovation in this field has produced a number of new devices with varying names, they all use the similar underlying approach, and the term SCENAR tends to be used in generic fashion for all of them, much as we use "Kleenex" for paper tissues regardless of the brand name. How cybernetic biofeedback technology works: By stimulating the nervous system, the device is able to teach the body to heal itself. It sends out a series of signals through the skin and measures the response. Each signal is only sent out when a change in response to the previous signal is recorded in the electrical properties of the skin. Visible responses include reddening of the skin, numbness, stickiness (the device will have the feeling of being magnetically dragged), a change in the numerical readout and an increase in the electronic ‘chatter’. The body can get accustomed to a stable pathological state, which may have been caused by injury, disease or toxicity. To move the organism out of this adaptive sate, we stimulate the C-fibers, which react to the electro-stimulation. They comprise 85% of all nerves in the body, and produce neuro-peptides and other regulatory peptides. The devices catalyse the process to produce peptides by stimulating C-fibers. The neuro-peptides re-establish the body's natural physiological state and are responsible for healing. As these peptides remain active up to several hours, the healing process will continue long after the treatment is over. Because the Central Nervous System (CNS) is interconnected through the body, treatment of one area of the body can result in improvement in chemical balance, sleeplessness, appetite and behavioural problems. SCENAR Therapy Treatment The device is run over the spine, abdomen, or affected area, recording the resistive response to the signal and using its sophisticated software to return a fresh signal. A gentle tingling or stroking sensation will be felt. The practitioner looks for anomalies on the skin surface, which may be highlighted by redness, numbness, stickiness or a change in numerical display or sound. Although these areas may not seem to directly relate to the presenting symptom, treating these "asymmetries" to restore cellular balance will commence the healing process. Chronic problems may take up to six weeks of treatment for enduring effects. Acute problems may take just one or two treatments. Experience shows that the device, when used alone, is effective in about 80% of all cases. Full recovery occurs in two thirds of cases and significant healing in the remainder. In the context of an overall treatment approach, like Heilkunst, SCENAR treatment has proven highly effective in removing particular blockages to treatment and in speeding up the healing process.
