The Science Behind Max Wellness: How Calmare Scrambler Therapy Works
Rebalancing Your Nervous System for Pain Relief
Chronic nerve pain can be incredibly frustrating and disrupt your daily life. Traditional treatments like medications can have side effects, and surgery might not always be the preferred option. Calmare Scrambler Therapy offers a non-invasive and medication-free alternative that targets the root cause of your difficult to treat nerve pain: disrupted communication within your nervous system.
​
Here's a breakdown of how Calmare Scrambler Therapy works with your nervous system to bring relief:
Understanding Your Nervous System:
Imagine your nervous system as a vast communication network. It carries messages back and forth between your brain, spinal cord, and all parts of your body, including your skin, muscles, and organs. These messages are electrical signals carried by nerves. In a healthy nervous system, these signals travel smoothly, allowing you to feel sensations like touch, temperature, and even pain normally.
Chronic Pain and Disrupted Signals:
In chronic pain conditions, this communication can become disrupted. Damaged nerves or other factors can cause the messages to be altered, exaggerated, or even misinterpreted by your brain. This can lead to the constant sensation of pain, even when there's no physical injury present.
The Role of Nociceptive Signals:
Let's delve deeper into pain signals. When you experience an injury or something that could potentially damage your body, specialized sensory nerves called nociceptors send signals to your spinal cord and brain. These signals, termed nociceptive signals, are crucial for alerting you to potential danger.
Scrambler Therapy and Nociceptive Signals:
Calmare Scrambler Therapy uses a computer-controlled device to deliver low-level electrical pulses through electrodes placed on your skin near the area of pain. These pulses aim to achieve two main things:
​
-
Interrupting Disrupted Signals: The carefully designed pulses can help interrupt the abnormal pain signals traveling from the nociceptors to your brain. This can help break the cycle of pain perception.
​
-
Influencing Pain Pathways: The Calmare device sends little packets of "non-pain" and "self" information that mimics how our own nervous system works to slowly overwrite the old pain pattern with a new "non-pain" message that we will "rehearse" every day until it sticks and provides lasting relief.
Personalized Treatment:
Scrambler Therapy targets specific areas of your nervous system related to your pain called "Dermatomes". These are the separate zones that each spinal cord level receives sensory information from. In order to maximize the effectiveness of your treatments, Dr. Maxwell, DPT will ask a series of questions every single day in order to fine tune your treatments as your symptoms progress.
It's Important to Note:
-
Individualized Response: Not everyone responds the same way to Scrambler Therapy. However, our "you only pay if it works" guarantee allows you to experience the treatment and assess its effectiveness without having to risk getting stuck having to pay yet another medical bill with no improvement in your symptoms to show for it!
​
-
Maintain Long Term Relief with Boosters: Think of your nervous system as a well-worn path. The initial batch of scrambler therapy sessions can help establish new, healthier pathways for nerve signals, leading to long-term pain relief. However, just like an old habit can sometimes creep back in, so too can your nervous system occasionally revert to its old pain patterns. Booster visits can help "remind" your nervous system of the new, pain-free pathways established during your initial treatment program.
