This is how well the Autonomic Nervous System is working to stay balanced and to keep the body healthy. Looking at all the different markers is actually quite complicated the more I learn about it.

Electrotherapy Exposed

Download PDF of Article The application of electrotherapy has been an accepted worldwide medical practice throughout the modern history of mankind. Hippocrates was reported to place patients into barrels of water with electrical eels to cure rheumatism and gout. At the turn of the 19th century, the great titans Westinghouse (direct current-DC) and Tesla (alternating current-AC) debate spawned a plethora of therapeutic electro-medical devices that flooded the market with some reportedly wild health claims. The release of the Flexner Report in 1910 wiped out the domestic electro-therapy market in favor of drugs, which remained in place until the 1960s.1 However, [...]

Scars are a result of the body’s remarkable power to heal itself. Scars develop after the deeper layer of skin, the dermis, is damaged. New collagen fibers are laid down at the site of the wound to repair the tissue. These fibers grow in random and unorganized patterns, forming adhesions underneath the scar itself. Adhesions can form deep within the body, attaching to muscles, bones, tendons, and organs. Imagine how a single pull of this matrix fascial tissue and how it could misalign or cause imbalance in any number of the systems throughout the body. Here are five reasons why [...]

USA TODAY: Microcurrent Point Stimulation: A New Hope

  Written by I-Hsien Sherwood, for USA Today Many patients suffer with chronic pain for years without relief. The causes and workings of pain still aren't fully understood.

What is Sensory Defensiveness?

As a pediatric therapist, I have been treating children on the Autistic Spectrum for 20 years. It is well known by most moms that if they have a child on the spectrum they understand the term “sensory defensiveness” or more common, “fight-or-flight.” This manifests itself as behavioral issues but is a result of an unbalanced autonomic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is stuck in a mode where it constantly increases our response to stimulus, or “upregulates,” it triggers sensory defensiveness in children. What is the Fight-or-Flight Response? The fight-or-flight response, refers to a physiological reaction that occurs in the presence [...]
