A Deeper Dive Into How SCENAR Works
The purpose of SCENAR is an activation of adaptive reaction by the reserves of the body. It does so by influencing the body in a non-invasive way via the skin. The skin plays a very important role in the regulation of the body’s systems as it is the interface between the body and the environment. The skin and nervous system originated from the same layer of ectoderm during embryogenesis. The skin keeps all of the information on the function and condition of the nervous system.
The SCENAR affects the skin and is influenced by the reaction of the skin. The skin resistance changes according to internal changes that are the result of the body’s metabolism. The SCENAR reads and reacts to the internal metabolic changes as represented in the skin impedance, and forms a bi-polar signal similar to a nautral neuro impulse. Using this biofeedback process, the device modifies its next signal to either amplify or dampen the pathological signal as required. If the signal from the body is that of a chronic condition, the SCENAR amplifies the body’s signal to alert it to the dysfunction (stimulation). If the signal is one of an acute situation, the SCENAR dampens the body’s signal (sedation). It continues to “talk” with the body in this way until the signals it receives indicate that the body is moving toward normalization or homeostasis. The principal peculiarity of the SCENAR biofeedback is that each signal is different from the preceding one. That is why the signal does not diminish and there is no process of habituation and failure of the body to respond, as is the case with other electo-neurostimulation modalties, such as TENS.
The SCENAR signal causes the release of bio active substances by nerve cells called neuropeptides. Physiological functions are under the control of a whole range of neruopeptides including chemical compounds called regulatory peptides which trigger all of the complex functions the body carries out to maintain homeostasis. Thus the SCENAR creates a cascade of “conversation” in the body about a particular pathology, motivating the body to address the issue and heal itself. In this way, SCENAR treatment can address pain and support the body’s efforts to heal the issue causing the pain.
