Scenar and TENS machines

Scenar and Tens Machines

Scenar is well beyond TENS machines and ultrasound. And serious questions have been raised about TENS technology, despite widespread acceptance in mainstream medicine:

  • The long TENS pulse signal may not be suitable for long-term use. While the short pulse used by Scenar is considered very safe, and is extremely close to the electrical properties of nerve signals themselves, I've heard concerns that the longer pulse of TENS devices may compromise the electrical properties of nerve fibres during long-term use.
  • The body quickly adapts to the TENS signal, making it steadily less effective over time.
  • TENS and similar systems do nothing to affect the underlying reasons for the pain, which returns when the machine is not in use.

Scenar's inventor, Alexander Karasev, was one of the early TENS developers. Despite this, he quickly grew frustrated with the limitations of TENS, and wanted to go beyond just temporarily blocking pain (for which TENS machines can be very helpful, for instance in childbirth).

Scenar is far more sophisticated: to every response received from the body (through changes in skin impedance), the Scenar replies with a different signal. Combined with the various modes and protocols used in Scenar therapy, this makes it difficult for the body to adapt and slip back into negative "equilibrium."

During a course of Scenar treatments, the therapeutic effects are cumulative, whereas in other electronic therapies, it is usually the body's habituation or resistance which are cumulative. By going to the root of the problem, Scenar is able to give deep, long lasting relief.

Don Elwick - Managing Director, Brighton Media Centre (Cracked Ribs)

"December 21st, 2009, I went out running, slipped on some ice, and fell heavily on my back. A nurse and a doctor both confirmed I had two or three cracked ribs. I spent the next week hardly sleeping due to the pain. December 29th, I saw Paul Lowe for a Scenar treatment, and that night I slept properly again. Over the next few days, almost all the pain had gone, and the ribs were back to normal. I had Scenar again and on January 4th, the doctor found it hard to believe there was nothing left from the accident - broken ribs normally take at least 6 weeks to heal."

Venus Villa, First Artist, The English National Ballet, London (Leg injury)

"I had a very painful injury to my leg (compartment syndrome), and I tried several therapies. Scenar was the best for really deep healing, even when I was dancing for seven hours a day. Thank you Paul."

Marco Crivello, Artist, Lewes, Sussex (Shoulder + Back Pain)

"I had acute pain in my right shoulder. I tried osteopathy and cranio-sacral over several weeks, but with negligible results. Paul treated me with Scenar daily for four days, and by the end I was pain-free. On another occasion, I was in acute pain months after Achilles tendon surgery -- after one treatment from Paul, the pain went away. I also threw my back out twice. Each time, one Scenar treatment was enough to put it back to normal."

Stephane Davies-Arai, Sculptor, Lewes, Sussex (Sciatica)

"I was rushed to hospital on three occasions and given four strong painkillers including morphine. I finally collapsed at work in agony, unable to walk. After 10 treatments with Paul, I was able to stop the painkillers and drive 80 miles to a work event. Six months on, I'm still pain free."

Tim Cornwall - Private Hire Driver, Herstmonceaux, Sussex (Slipped Disc)

"I've had hip and lower back problems for over 30 years. This episode was the worst I've had for two years: I could hardly walk or drive and I had to give work away. Until now, I'd go to the chiropractor for several treatments and take at least three weeks to recover. With Paul it took four days and four Scenar treatments to get back to normal. On day 1, I could barely walk. On day 3, I took the dog for a one-hour walk."

John Hayward - Landscaper, Westham, Sussex (Neck + Shoulder Pain, Arm/hand nerve damage)

"The pain had reached levels that stopped my physical workload. The diagnosis was nerve compression due to an injury to the C5/6/7 vertebrae. I now faced the prospect of surgery to install metal inserts... After four Scenar treatments, I was able to stop the painkillers... After three months and 10 treatments, I can also report... ability to sleep on my side again, write and sign my signature fluently again, turn my head fully to the right and left... Six months later, I'm doing heavy physical work again as part of my job, and despite needing occasional top-ups, I'm basically pain-free. Altogether, a phenomenal success."
