 The SCENAR  is a hand held device that resembles a remote control with a small, flat metal contact surface that is placed on different areas of the patient’s body such as the neck, spine, face, hands, feet, etc. The treatment is very relaxing and painless. The SCENAR communicates from these areas on the body to the patient’s central and peripheral nervous system stimulating the release of neuropeptides. These neuropeptides are the body’s natural healing chemicals.  Generally a chronic condition can take anywhere from 9 – 15 treatments and the average recovery is between 80 and 100%. An acute condition can generally be treated in 6 treatments or less. 

The primary and unique quality of the SCENAR is that each signal is different from the preceding one, therefore the reaction by the body does not diminish and there is no repetitive signal or process.

 Cranial-Sacral therapy honors the self-healing mechanisms of the body, mind and spirit. It reflects the original explorations of A.T. Still, the founder of osteopathy; W.G. Sutherland, who developed cranial osteopathy, and R. Becker, who further explored the unique healing processes present in all of us. All three physicians believed that good health reflects the integration of the energies of body, mind and spirit. 

At the core of our healing mechanisms is the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. Good flow of this fluid, as well as blood flow, is critical for our health and motion of all our body systems: including vascular, visceral, nervous, lymphatic and musculoskeletal systems. 

Cranial-sacral therapy uses gentle touch to palpate these fluids and encourage their flow. This process nourishes all tissues of the body; allowing the release of old restrictions from disease, surgery or trauma. Restriction patterns in the body can be a core cause of chronic pain symptoms such as headaches, neck and back aches, arm or leg pains that have not responded to medications or other therapies.

The SCENAR & Cranial Sacral therapy combination is very effective in pain management, it has major anti-inflammatory benefits, it can assist in the normalization of metabolic processes (decreases cholesterol, glucose level normalization, and regulation of protein synthesis) and hormone balance,it assists in the regulation of the immune system, and produces the general effects of good sleep, good appetite, and good mood.

Some of the conditions that have been successfully worked with by the SCENAR & Cranial Sacral therapy combination are:
