The Healing Connection
February 2024 – Vol 5, Issue 2

February is known as love of the heart (Valentine’s Day) and American Heart Association Month. Every year more than 695,000 Americans (1 in every 5 deaths) die from heart disease affecting all ages, genders, and ethnicities.

Circulation of the blood is one of the most important functions of the body and plays a major role in someone’s overall health. The main component of this function involves the body’s most significant organ: the heart. Having an increase in blood flow and circulation to areas of your body helps promote cell growth and organ function. (If you have diabetic patients, pay special attention to their health including their blood circulation, specifically in their legs and feet).

With this issue, we are focusing on increasing a patient’s circulation using the RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® device, so that you can help improve your patient’s overall health and well-being. Electrical currents can relax muscle spasms and boost local circulation by increasing oxygen content, providing more nutrients, facilitating the elimination of waste, and the normalization of neural transmitters This helps the overall recovery processes for effective and successful tissue repair. In addition, Electric cell-Signaling Treatments (EcST) after surgery can help prevent the risk of blood clots.

EcST signals, programmed with the appropriate and time-varying cell signaling parameters, as well as appropriate amplitude, influence the circulatory system via several mechanisms of action. By using specific programming, EcST signals produce the following effects on blood flow:

• Slow-frequency nerve stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system to produce vasoconstriction of the blood and lymph vessels, accelerating the centripetal transport of venous blood and lymph.
• Slightly faster low-frequency signal stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system to produce vasoconstriction.
• Fast stimulating signal frequencies to produce vasodilatation via sympathetic function exhaustion of the synaptic neurotransmitters.
• Fast non-stimulating frequency signaling, in which multiple electric signals fall within the absolute refractory period of the cell membrane to inhibit the action impulse capability of the cell membrane via sustained cell membrane depolarization.

Specific signaling produces other secondary circulatory effects: facilitation of diffusion processes and balancing of metabolic concentration differences; EcST- induced activation of metabolism by increasing the formation of cAMP particularly in the endothelium, and activation of muscle pump by motor activity which results in the centripetal transport of venous blood and lymph nodes.

Below shows several suggested placement guidelines to help increase blood flow, produce vasoconstriction as well as vasodilation, and improve lymphatic function.

“Take care and thank you for all that you do!”

BASIC PLACEMENT CIRCULATION GUIDELINES

NOTES:
* Acute Conditions: sS-S threshold dosage Sub-Acute Conditions: S-M threshold dosage Chronic Conditions: S-T threshold dosage.
* Try to use the largest electrode possible that covers the anatomical target.
* Do not apply electrodes directly to broken skin areas.
* In cases where treatment continues past eight (8) weeks, revert to week five (5) and start again with listed weekly program changes.
* In cases where vacuum-type electrodes are used in older models, reduce pressure after electrode
adherence to the skin – intact skin areas only.
