What is Pain (Primal) Reflex Release Technique?
A new paradigm in understanding why some patients don't get well
Could there be a missing piece to the puzzle of pain currently not being
examined or treated by even the most competent practitioners? The
answer is a resounding "yes."
Our nervous system is a marvelous, elegant, array of neural chemical
circuitry. Reflexes are an integral part of this hard-wired circuit ( like a
operating system on the computer running in the back ground without
which the computer won’t be able to operate). Two primal reflexes that
seem to have the greatest potential for problems relating to pain and
motion limitation are the startle and withdrawal. A third, the
protective joint reflex, is constantly influencing our attempts to relax
muscles and increase Range Of Motion(ROM).
In an infant, the startle reflex is known as the Moro reflex. After
infancy, it can be triggered by a number of sensory stimuli, including
auditory, visual, olfactory and touch.
Whenever there is a injury it has two main components, 1) Structural
injury to body part injured and 2) Reflex response of whole body to the
event of injury. This new approach which utilizes Reflex release
Techniques TM. is based on the work of Sir Charles Sherrington, and it
states that unless and until these reflex inhibition patterns are
neutralized/reset a injured person may not recover fully or will require
longer duration of recovery.
Treatment Options
Treatment involves the Primal Reflex Release Technique™(PRRT)
designed to down-regulate the three reflexes. PRRT is performed using
about 12 seconds of light stimulation to reflexively and reciprocally
inhibit over exited muscles(Muscles Spasms/Splinting). These
techniques are quite unique, and cause no discomfort to the patient.
Several techniques are usually performed before re-exam.
An improvement of up to 50 percent on the first visit is not unusual.
Most patients don't need more than several sessions to resolve their
pain problems. Patients with chronic pain may take longer but not
always.
We have seen amazing results with these techniques with our patients
in terms of functional improvement and decreased recovery time. We
are the only facility in 30 miles radius to provide this treatment.
Does PRRT resolve everyone's pain? No, in fact, it seems to be a patient's
answer only if it works on the first or second session when it's tried. No
other technique I'm aware of is able to call itself a success or failure
within one to two sessions.
While research is still ongoing with PRRT, it appears that the presence
of these Trigger Areas ™may be a mal adoption to stress. It's estimated
that as many as 80-90 percent of all illness and disease begins with
stress as the beginning mechanism.
As we learn more about this new field of study, we're likely to
accelerate the speed of recovery for most of our patients. The other
techniques we've learned and use to treat the patients will become
much more effective once reflexes are functioning at their normal state.
830 Laser Therapy System
What can I expect in terms of benefit?
Reduced pain-
You may experience improvement after one treatment. Most conditions
take between 2-9 treatments for complete alleviation of symptoms.
Chronic conditions may require more treatment.
Reduced Inflammation-
Most acute inflammatory conditions respond to 830 Laser treatment
immediately. You will need to follow precautions in order to avoid
re-injury or the pain may return.
Increased Tissue Healing-
830 Laser treatment not only helps injured tissues and wounds heal
faster, it also makes them stronger and less vulnerable to re-injury.
What type of ailment does the 830 Laser treat?
Most muscle, joint, tendon and nerve pain can successfully be treated
with the 830 Laser. See list below:
Arthritis
Back Pain
Bursitis/Tendonitis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Heel Spur/Plantar Fascitis
Migraines
TMJ
and more...
How does it work?
The 830 Laser sends light (photons) into your injured tissues and can
penetrate 2 inches without being absorbed by the skin, fat, or blood. No
heat is generated so it is safe for use anywhere* on the body. Once the
photons find the injured tissues, they stimulate and energize the cells to
repair and strengthen at a remarkably fast rate.
This treatment does NOT wear off like most medicines, electrical
stimulation, heat or ice. It increases your body's own healing power
and enhances that process. True healing. If you don't reinjure the
area, the pain should not return.
Is it safe?
Yes. The FDA approved this device with the only warning of "No direct
contact with the eyes." This technology has been used for over 30
years in other countries such as Europe, Asia, and Canada with great
success. It is finally being made available in the United States after 12
years of study and research.
