What isScenar Therapy?
Where does Scenar come from? SCENAR was developed for the Russian space programme to overcome the unique problems of space travel by doctors and scientists in the late 1970s.
The SCENAR is a small handheld device which is applied to the skin and creates a tingling or prickling sensation and which the therapist will set the variables within the different algorithms to elicit the desired response from the brain.
Depending on the circumstances the SCENAR treatment may be used in conjunction with other modalities/treatments or used on its own.
Today SCENAR is a mainstream medical modality in Russia and there it has very many applications.In Australia, there are two SCENAR technologies currently listed on the ARTG with the TGA, the SCENAR Professional and the Physiokey.
How does Scenar work?
Depending on the circumstances the SCENAR treatment may be used in conjunction with other modalities/treatments or used on its own.
Sophisticated SCENAR electrical impulses, the parameters of which are similar to endogenous nerve impulses are transmitted through the skin to the nervous system. Each impulse is different from the previous one as it changes according to the body’s responses. SCENARs reflex bio-feedback, in concert with bio-feedforward, is in continuous two-way communication with the body. SCENAR utilizes high amplitude signals and stimulates the very small and much more numerous C-nerve fibres.
These fibres are responsible for the production of many different neurotransmitters (neuropeptides and other regulatory peptides), including natural painkillers. This conventionally explains the effectiveness of SCENAR therapy. It is these biochemicals that in turn re-establish the body’s natural physiological state.
As these biochemicals last up to several hours or more, the healing process will normally continue for hours or even weeks after the treatment is over. The effects of these changes in chemistry on the Central Nervous System will also result in the treatment of one area aiding with the treatment of other imbalances.
This goes some way to explaining how old and often forgotten problems (unfinished business) are brought to the surface for treatment. NB: Some painful problems may briefly get worse soon after a course of SCENAR treatment begins.
Is Scenar Safe?
As SCENAR impulse is similar to endogenous nerve impulses, it is non-damaging and safe. However people with cardiac pacemakers are not allowed to have SCENAR treatment (NB 1st trimester women are not usually treated in the West).
