BACK PAIN and B.E.S.T.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek a health care provider and their acupuncturist. It has been estimated that over 80% of the world's population will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, with the lower back being the most common location of pain. At Innovative Medicine, over one third of our patient base sufferers from lower back pain and sciatica.
Innovative Medicine was the first institution to combine acupuncture, Low-level laser therapy, B.E.S.T., SCENAR, and specialized massage for the treatment of back pain. We pioneered many of the procedures now used by many practitioners. In 2006, we became educators and lecturers in our profession, providing our revolutionary protocols to health care providers all over the country.
Our breakthroughs in pain management have reached around the world, and there is not one country currently untouched by what we do here at our facility. In 2006, the average American spent over 13 billion dollars on pain management. The pharmaceutical industry saw similar multi billion dollar expenditures by consumers on pain reduction medicines.
There is no data yet established the amount that individuals have spent on alternative medicine and acupuncture as compared to conventional medicine, but the fact remains that acupuncture and alternative medicine is the fastest growing segment of medicine today ….worldwide.
Innovative Medicine Inc. uses several modalities when treating a common back pain health related issue. The process is simple, easily administered, and enjoyed by all patients. The procedure gives almost immediate results with no side effects like conventional medicine and medications. Regardless of the condition (chronic or acute) the patient can see good reduction in pain and discomfort from the initial treatment. Our protocol is simple: 30 minutes acupuncture + 10 minutes LLLt + 10 B.E.S.T. +10 specialized massage. Pain reduction in under one hour it is that simple. Cost effective pain management without the hassle or long term ordeal of waiting for results to relieve one’s suffering.


B.E.S.T. (Bio-feedback Electrical Stimulation Technology)
A revolutionary method of treating pain related conditions. BEST produces variable impulses which adopt to the fluctuations of electrical resistance (impedance) of the skin. It is a true biofeedback system and is sold as a bio-feedback device, which allows individuals to get stable pain relief and healing results. It is FDA cleared and is very simple to operate and use for self-treatment applications or in professional clinical settings.
Capabilities of B.E.S.T. Devices
1. Eliminating or relieving acute and chronic pain. BEST have ended suffering for tens of thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world.
2. Providing anti-allergic, anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory therapies.
3. Treating many conditions like sprains and strains, back pain, migraines, etc.
4. Accelerating recovery and decreasing the negative side-effects of the medications when combining BEST and other therapies like acupuncture and massage.
5. Bringing the functions of the bodily organs back to normal and into balance.
6. Providing general relief and comfort to the patients.
7. Energizing.
8. Enhancing professional, general maintenance, and sport performance
The effectiveness of BEST Technology
The effectiveness is about 80-90%. There were many thousands of successful treatment cases, hundreds of clinical researche programs emerging in the USA, proving the effectiveness of the device. Innovative Medicine incorporates the use of bio-feedback devices into our typical acupuncture treatments. The use of these units give us significant results in treating a wide range of conditions in a holistic arena safely and non-invasively.

SCENAR (Self-Controlled Energy Neuro Adaptive Regulation)
What is SCENAR?
In principle the SCENAR (Self-Controlled Energy Neuro Adaptive Regulation) device works as a catalyst on the body's immune system. Developed by the Russians for the space program the SCENAR reads the resistance level of the skin and relays this information to the brain via the skin itself. This accelerates the body's healing mechanism through stimulation of the neuropeptides in each damaged cell. In addition the SCENAR could be used to treat individuals whose bodies do not repair themselves properly as a result of chronic illness. A classic example of this is suffers of fybromyalgia where SCENAR may act as a regeneration and pain management tool. Innovative Medicine is using this device to treat all conditions that encompass pain and discomfort and seeing wonderful results from those who have the device administered during their acupuncture treatment.
How the SCENAR works
The SCENAR uses biofeedback, enabling the body to heal itself. The SCENAR sends out a series of signals through the skin and measures the response. Each signal is only sent out when a change is recorded in the electrical properties of the skin, in response to the previous signal. Visible reactions include reddening of the skin, numbness, stickiness (the SCENAR will have the feeling of being magnetically dragged), a change in the numerical readout and an increase in the electronic ‘clattering’ of the device.
The body can get accustomed to a stable pathological state, which may have been caused by injury, disease or toxicity. The SCENAR initiates the healing process by stimulating the production of regulatory peptides for the body to use where necessary, thereby re-establishing the body's natural physiological state. Neuro and other regulatory peptides are produced by C-fibers, which comprise 85% of all nerves in the body. C-fibers react most readily to SCENAR electro-stimulation and the peptides produced last up to several hours, meaning the healing process will continue long after the treatment is over. The large quantity of neuropeptides and C-fibers in the Central Nervous System can also result in the treatment on one area aiding with other chemical imbalances, correcting sleeplessness, appetite and behavioral problems.
Results form the SCENAR
In Russia, some 600 practitioners currently use the SCENAR as their principal treatment instrument, with over 50,000 reported cases of individual use. A vast wealth of information on the SCENAR is available from research papers, clinical reports and training manuals. Innovative Medicine is a contributor in this ongoing research and is currently the only facilitator of this device currently in the USA. The SCENAR can be used on most types of disease or injury: circulatory, sensory, respiratory, neurological, genito-urinary, musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal, endocrine, immune and psychological disorders. The SCENAR is also credited with vastly reducing recovery times. Russian athletes have been known not only to compete after serious injuries, but even to break world-records post SCENAR therapy. In Russian accident and emergency wards the SCENAR is used to aid recovery from cardiac arrest, massive trauma and coma. The SCENAR has recently been shown to improve learning ability, memory, sexual function and improved physical health. Finally trials in Russia have also realized SCENAR's usage for pain management. Both cancer and fracture patients have found more pain relief from the release of natural opioids after SCENAR treatment than from those externally administered.

SCENAR Operation
The SCENAR is run over the spine and abdomen or affected area. The software records the resistive response to its signals and returns a fresh signal, causing a gentle tingling/stroking sensation. The practitioner is looking for anomalies on the skin surface, which may be highlighted by redness, numbness, stickiness or a change in numerical display or sound. Although these areas may not seem to directly relate to the obvious symptoms, by treating these 'asymmetries' (as the Russians call them) with the SCENAR, the healing process will commence. Experienced SCENAR practitioners state that, though the SCENAR device may be used after the preliminary training, it takes up to four years to master. A chronic problem may require up to 6 weeks SCENAR treatment, with long-lasting effectiveness. Acute problems may take just one or two treatments. It is reported that SCENAR proves effective in 80% of all cases, of which full recovery occurs in 2/3rds of them and significant healing in the remainder.
