Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy
Alphatron Pulse Therapy works to increase blood flow, oxygen transport, enzyme production and tissue-building reactions. The frequencies used by the therapy are close to the body's own natural frequencies, hence you may fall asleep while being treated in the neck and shoulder area. Certainly, the therapy operates below the sensory level, but while being treated, certain bodily changes are taking place. This is a partial list of changes you may notice: Circulation You may feel a "tingling" in your feet or legs due to increased blood flow Sinus If you are being treated in the neck or shoulder area, your sinus will drain. A sinus headache will usually lose "pressure" and disappear within 15 minutes. Reaction As the metabolic action in the area of treatment is increased, you may notice a "reaction," as your body begins the repair process. This is a positive sign, which signals that changes are taking place. Floating Pain In many cases only the dominate pain is perceived. The brain blocks out all other pain of lower intensity. Once the stronger pain becomes secondary, pain in another area may surface and the patient may mistakenly confuse this as side effects of APT. APT has no side effects and instead, may serve as form of diagnosing other areas of the body with cellular abnormalities or other pathological problems. The "adaptation or reaction" phase is commonly seen as: Grade Acute Chronic, mild (Grade 1, 2) Chronic, severe (Grade 3, 4) Adaptation or Reaction Phase Little or none. Pain increases during the 3rd - 5th session and then decreases Pain increases by the 6th – 7th session, and then decreases The "adaptation or reaction phase" is a sign of increased metabolic activity. If the affected joint has been relatively immobile, or the nerve endings have become de-sensitized by the continual application of pain medication, the Alpha Pulse Therapy will "wake-up" these joints so the body may initiate the repair process. In the case of a chronic condition, your body has de-sensitized the local joint pain, but now the therapy will seek to reactivate these tissues. The tissues will become more sensitive, and therefore the pain may slightly increase before it feels better. You should report the onset of the reaction phase to the therapist, as to when it starts, and when it ends (the pain starts to diminish). The adaptation phase is a temporary period while the body is adjusting to the therapy.
