This is usually a course of treatment.
Scenar (which stands for “Self-Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator”) is a form of electrical therapy that uses micro-current electrical stimulation. This works by mimicking the body’s own bioelectrical system. It restores the balance and kick-starts the body’s healing process. In a nutshell, it’s a handheld pain relief device that is non-invasive and helps the body to heal itself.
Scenar was developed by Russian Scientists in the 1970s as an offshoot of their space programme. They needed a treatment to keep cosmonauts in optimum health – but one that was portable, non-invasive and did not involve needles or drugs.
When placed on the skin, the device sends an electrical signal into the body, “listens” for a response by recording the skin’s galvanic response (its electrical resistance), returns a newly modified signal back to the body, and then again listens to the reply. This is known as a bio-feedback and treatment loop and the dynamically changing impulse counters the body’s natural tendency to develop a tolerance to static therapies.
The electrical impulses travel down the nerve fibres to the brain where they trigger the release of certain chemicals such as endorphins (the body’s own painkillers) and neuropeptides. These chemicals then enter the blood stream and travel all round the body.
Scenar is effective for a wide range of conditions including:
- Backs & joints: Slipped discs, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, repetitive strain injury (RSI), tennis elbow, golfer’s knee, bursitis, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff pain, whiplash, spondylosis and sciatica.
- Acute injuries: Fractures, strains, sprains, burns, tears, and post-operative wounds.
- Digestive & hormonal: Irritable bowel, colitis, endometriosis, menstrual pain.
- Neurological: Migraines, myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), chronicfatigue, fibromyalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD).
While the most obvious effect of Scenar is relieving pain, it is often the case that there are much wider results as the whole system return to balance. Depending on the protocols used, major progress has been seen with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, fatigue, skin tone, ageing and allergies.
