A SPECIFIC METHOD FOR THE CORRECTION OF ASTRUCTURAL
COMPONENT OF THE ORGANISM
Working
with the device SCENAR-135-3 in the polyclinic setting (Russian equivalent of
GP practise) led to the discovery of a category of patients for whom other
forms oftreatment was not effective. These were patients with a combination
of visceral and somatic pathology, with the latter prevailing, clinically.
This
paper is the result of work based on theory and the author’s own experience
and sets out a method for working with such patients.
It
is known that the adaptive system of the organism is based on the relationship
between the vegetative and somatic nervous systems. This is manifested in the
following main reflexes: visceral-dermal, visceral-motor (spinal muscles), visceral-sclerotomal
(fascias, ligaments and periosteum).
In
practice, SCENAR therapy as a rule acts on the skin-visceral reflexes. At
the same time, the chronic visceral pathology leads to the formation areas
of congestion and excitement in the muscular-fascia structures which are visible
as local contractions (myofascicular hypertonus). This occurs firstly in the
paravertebral areas of the spinal muscles, often corresponding to the point
of inflorescence on the bladder meridian.
Initially
emerging as an adaptive-sanogenic mechanism, the role of the myofascicular hypertonus
subsequently changes. It becomes the cause for recurring blockage of the spinal
column (SC). A vicious circle of inter-influence between the hypertonus and
the blocked SC develops. As a result, the hypertonus goes into spasm, regeneration
of fibrosis and disturbance in the mobility of the SC which, sooner or later,
leads to discopathy.
In
this situation, the hypertonus acquires the ability independently to maintain
the inflammation and this is compounded by the afferent
passagefrom the periphery.Moreover, the hypertonus begins to exert an
influence on the vegetative supply of the trophic functions in the somatic sectors
and in the internal organs connected to them via segments, meridians, and other
means. According to Kryizhanovskyi, this phenomenon is called “formation of
the peripheral generator of the determinant system”.
Therefore,
a morphologic substrate, which emerges as a result of a sanogenic reaction of
adaptation, turns into an autonomic link in the pathogenic chain of the illness,
which maintains its chronic course. This means that the organism has partly
lost its ability to adapt and partly its ability to deal with the problem.
There
are two options for the treatment of such patients:
1.
Activation
of the adaptive mechanisms of the patient despite the presence of the determinant
system ;
2.
Inactivation of this generator with consequent correction of the somatic-vegetative
adaptative reactions.
The second option is, without a doubt, preferable.
During
experimentation, it was observed that when the electrode was placed in a certain
way, it was possible to provoke contraction of any group of muscles. We were
interested in the first place in the paravertebral areas. Action was applied
with SCENAR-035-3 in the continuous mode.
We
discovered a very interesting property of SCENAR action on the deep-lying tissues:
the initial reaction of the muscles was a contraction, followed later by relaxation.
For the healthy muscle, this took about 5-20 seconds and for the problem muscle
the time required was longer, in proportion to the degree of damage.
Furthermore,
the patients felt irradiating vibration, variable in depth and direction (apparently
depending on the spatial position of the tense and excited tissues). The sensation
depended on the degree of damage in the area treated and diminished considerably
during the course of action.
It
must be pointed out that this predictability was not the case for the head,
hands, distal parts of the forearms, feet and distal parts of the lower legs.
This method was unable to be used on overweight people, due to the high insulation
properties of the subcutaneous adipose tissue.
The
effects noted, i.e. diminished muscle contraction and reduction of vibration
with irradiation, were adopted as a diagnostic as well as a criterion for the
duration of the procedure.
By
influencing the deep-lying tissues, we succeeded at least in reducing the excitability
of the hypertonus, i.e.: the activity of the peripheral generator of the determinant
system was suppressed; all muscle tone was brought back to normal and the proprioceptive
afferent pathways from the damaged segment was increased. Practically, the result
was the disappearance or reduction of the spastic areas, restoration of the
functions of the SDC and anaesthesia.
This
method provides for preliminary diagnostics to reveal the muscle hypertonus
by any available means, followed by muscle correction at the level of the engaging
segment. Further treatment follows the generally-accepted methodology. Rehabilitation
is achieved more rapidly and is more effective.
