How it works
Scenar treatment works by stimulating the body’s own healing potential by emitting an electromagnetic signal which is almost identical to the human nerve signal.
It is operated by placing the device directly on the skin, where it collects electromagnetic
signals that are modified and sent back to the body.This signal travels along special types of nerve fibres to the brain, which results in the production of neuropeptides which helps healing.
When applied to the point of pain, the brain also releases endorphins, the body’s own powerful pain relieving substances.
A Scenar machine works as a feedback loop, assessing what the body needs and sending back different impulses to the body to meet those needs.
This biofeedback and ability to change frequency is what distinguishes it from TENS machinesand other electrical therapies.
SCENAR technology relies on the body’s mechanism of adaptation ensuring dynamic equilibrium and homeostasis. Regulation of the body’s vital functions is
achieved through close connection and interaction of the nervous and endocrine systems.
The effects of these systems result in the release of biologically active chemical modulators, called neuromediators. Examples of these neuromediators are:
amine: acetylcholine, noradrenalin, adrenalin,dopamine, serotonin epinephrine, norepinephrine, histamine
amino acids: glycine, glutamic, aspartic and gammaaminobutyric acid.
purine nucleotides: adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, thymidine
neuropeptides: enkephallin, neuropeptide Y, cholecystokinin, substance P, neurotensin.
The neuropeptides in SCENAR therapy, are the most important chemical modulators. Neuropeptide-producing nerve fibres make up more than 70% of the body’s neural tracts and cantherefore be stimulated from many areas on the skin.
The main goal of SCENAR therapy is to induce the secretion of a sufficient amount of neuropeptides to relieve pain and initiate a healing sequence.
This is achieved by active feedback mechanisms, bipolar electrical impulses and individually dosed influence which are discussed below.
