• Pain classifications

• 2 main causes of Pain

• How the body detects/transmits pain.

• Pain transmission centers (nerve ganglia) for pain.

• Stress in Relation to pain

• Protocols to help lower pain.

• Reduce stress

• Reduce inflammation/stress response

• Use Nervous System to reduce pain

� Acute Pain

� Began recently and/or lasts up to 30 days

� Sub-Acute Pain

� Pain lasting from 1 – 6 months

� Chronic Pain

� 3 months and 6 months since onset

�Pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing

�

Nociceptive

Caused by activation of nocieptors

� 2 main groupings:

� Trigeminal ganglia

� Nerves for the face

� Dorsal root ganglia

� Rest of the body

� Nociceptors sense pain

� Externally – Skin/dermatomes

� Internally - organs, bones, guts

Neuropathic

Caused by damage to or malfunction of nervous system

�Peripheral

� Peripheral nervous system

� Felt as “burning,” “tingling,” “electrical,” “stabbing,”, “pins and needles

�Central

� Brain or spinal cord

First Phase

• Fast-conducting Aδ fibers

• Felt as initial extremely sharp pain

• myelinated

Second Phase

• (Polymodal) C fibers. • more prolonged and slightly less

intense feel

• If there is massive or prolonged input to a C fiber, there is a progressive build up in the spinal cord dorsal horn is called wind-up

• If wind-up occurs there is a probability of increased sensitivity to pain.

• light or non-myelination axon.

FASTEST SLOWEST

Constant Trauma/Stress

• Sets up accelerated release of stress chemicals

• Mind anticipates, body delivers stress chemicals; cortisol, etc

• Initiates Allergic response• Mast Cell formation

• Inflammation occurs

• Chemical breakdown removes cell coverings

• Nerves become more sensitive detectors

• Detect mild swelling/danger…

• Sends signal to release more stress chemicals to prevent future harm

• Chronic dysfunctional pain cycle is established

Real vs. imagined Pain

• Brain does not differentiate

• Both felt as “real” pain

• Is quick to respond

• Uses small amounts of information to quickly assess situations

• This is good to protect us from future harm….

• ……….BUT…….

• The mind can create an over-response

• … can learn to become dysfunctional… in a perfect sense• Repeat a pattern of erroneous signaling

• PTSD

• Fibromyalgia

• Phantom Limb

• RSD / CRPS

• If we can break the Dysfunctional Pattern the Mind/Body will rebalance toward a more adaptive, and functional state.

LEMON• The Mouth Waters• Lips Pucker….Sour

• But this is a picture and is not reality

• Your body responds to the informational trigger

• Anticipatory response• PTSD• Fibromyalgia• Phantom Limb• RSD/CRPS

The Stages of Stress:

1. Alarm

2. Resistance

Trying to adapt to the stressor

3. Exhaustion

Allopathic Path

• Prescription Medications• Sometimes necessary but…• Addiction can result• Side reactions are unavoidable• ‘Black box warnings”• Organ damage, suicide,

depression, homicidal tendencies

• Studies show placebos often effective as medications.

• Surgical Interventions• Best method to repair total

mechanical failures, broken bones, knee replacements, etc.

Complementary Path

• Non-drug, Non-Invasive

• Uses the body’s own resources

• No chemical side reactions

• No chemical damage to organs

• Few negative side reactions

Protocols taught at the 2012 Conference:

• Light Therapy

• Increase available energy, ATP production, for healing

• Energy Boost of organs / Immune system…

• Improve Energy Flow

• Removing barriers to energetic flow

• SCARS

• Tissue damage

• SCENAR-Cosmodic Protocols

• Disrupt dysfunctional states

• Evoking a Parasympathetic shift to reduce /break the stress cycle

SCENAR Therapy Effects:Reduction of Pain / Increased ROM* (Range of Motion)

• SCENAR Technique • “7 Points” Protocol:

• Evokes Parasympathetic Shift

• Helps calm the system

• Direct path to the brain

Classic 6 points SCENAR Protocol + the “7th Point”

• LASER Technique

• Migraine Protocol SSN:

• Mode 2 on Heart for 1-2 Cycles

• ≤ 6 min

• Mode 3 on SSN for up to 1 cycle• ≤ 3 min

• Migraine is reduced or eliminated

• Possible contributions:

• Improved blood supply

• Improved hormonal functioning

Use the body’s own system to improve the pain situation

• Body needs energy to heal

• LASER increases ATP production

• Body needs to be parasympathetic (rest and digest mode) to heal

• 2 Nerve Ganglia serve as transmission centers…

• Trigeminal Nerve – 6 Points Protocol

• Basal Ganglia – 3 Pathways Protocol

� Nociceptors sense pain

� Externally – Skin/dermatomes

� Use Dermatomes to send rebalancing information to organs, bones…

2012 Niagara Falls ConferenceLearn protocols and how to they relate to

the body’s construction.

Dermatomes

• During the conference we will review approaches for:

• Migraine reduction/elimination in less than 10 minutes (especially with females)

• Migraine reduction associated to stress and poor blood circulation

• Reducing Phantom Limb Pain

• Reducing Chronic pain from RSD and associated neuropathies

• Reduction of stress and the Fibromyalgia pain cycle

• How to increase your overall energy level and organ efficiency
