Acute Injury + SCENAR = Amazing Results
Since September 3, I’ve been visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren in New Jersey. On my first night there, not being used to climbing over baby gates (my granddaughter is 14 months old), I caught my left braced foot on the top of the gate I was attempting to get over, and down that gate and I went. I landed on my right knee (my good one) with my full weight and momentum. Falls at my age with Post Polio Syndrome are scary. All kinds of less than wonderful scenarios passed through my mind about what kind of effect the fall might have on my visit, as I went down. I hobbled over to the couch to assess the damage. I had nearly drawn blood from the carpet burn, but not quite. The area was dark red, and beginning to swell. I reached for the SCENAR and began treating the knee with the protocols for acute injury. After 20 minutes the pain was gone. I put ice on it for another 15 minutes, and when I stood up after that, it felt ok. The next morning, I hadn’t even thought about my knee, with all the excitement of an awakening family, until my son asked me about it. I looked at it. No redness, no swelling, no bruising, and the abrasion looked like a patch of dry skin. I’ve not had any further issues with it at all.
It is always fun when a client comes in to Healing Innovations with pain that is the result of a recent injury. The results, although not as dramatic as if treatment could have been given moments after the injury, are generally dramatic and exciting. The SCENAR is good to use post surgery for the same reason, and those we’ve worked on have recovered faster and with less pain than anticipated.
We have also worked with athletes in training and they found that their training progressed with much less discomfort and with increased stamina and energy.
In Russia the SCENAR is called the “ambulance in a box.” Its applications with acute injury deserve that description.
If you are an athlete in training or if you have had a recent acute injury or surgery, call Healing Innovations for a 30% discount on a treatment. Just mention that you read about it on the blog to get the discount.
Call us at 828-337-6854 and we will schedule an appointment for you.

My personal opinion is that this is the finest SCENAR application. Not that you asked

As her son I was amazed by both her immediate treatment results and the next morning’s apparent lack of pain. It is an amazing device.
While she was visiting I played a little too much keep away with my son and his neighberhood friends. I have a chronic lower back pain that comes up when I do something dumb. I have my own Denas and have been moderately successful in the past treating it. She worked on my back for about 30 minutes and it felt much better. The next morning it was free of pain!

We have used the SCENAR with several clients who had had migraine headaches for years with excellent results. The treatment has blocked the oncoming episodes that were emerging as the client came in for treatment, as well as prevented recurrence for long periods of time.
