Zen Orchid Medical (ZOM) uses a completely non-invasive, no drug approach to your acute, chronic or exacerbated pain. We use a Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Device, a therapeutic electro-magnetic stimulation to prompt the body’s natural adaptive response for the relief of acute and chronic pain and physical dysfunction.
Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy is operated by placing a device directly on the skin, where it collects electromagnetic signals that are modified and sent back to the body. This reflex biofeedback feature is what distinguishes it from TENS machines and other electrical therapies, which sends out consistent continuous signals to which the body can eventually fail to respond. The Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Devices signals, by contrast, changes in response to the body changes, preventing adaptation.
The Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Device sends out a series of electrical 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. The electrical signal is a repeatable therapeutic treatment using electrical signals to stimulate the immune system, the body’s own healer. How the Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Device heals involves neuropeptides, the internal pharmacy of chemicals by which the body is kept in physiological balance and healing is achieved.
These peptides reestablish the body’s natural physiological state and are responsible for the healing process. As these peptides last up to several hours, the healing process will continue long after the treatment is over.
As a result, you may end up feeling some of the aftereffects for a few hours after the treatment, but this is normal, and is indicative that the body is undertaking steps to heal itself.
During the treatment, your ZOM provider will be “brushing” the device over your skin and asking about the types of sensations you’re feeling. You will only feel a gentle tingling or stroking sensation in the areas of treatment.
Because of its unique, computer-controlled biofeedback capabilities and ability to stimulate Neuropeptide (small molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other) generation, the Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Device achieves excellent healing results.
Why it Works
The body is continually influenced by external stimuli, which it reacts to in a way that maintains internal balance or homeostasis. Because these stimuli are infinitely variable, no two stimuli are experienced in the same way. But pathological signals are experienced as repetitive, so the body adapts to them and fails to recognize it has a problem. The Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy Device modifies the pathological signal so the brain becomes aware of it, inputting electrical impulses that are never the same and CANNOT be adapted to, forcing the body to respond.
Central nervous system involvement is reintroduced by neuropeptides that alter the regulatory pathway, breaking the repetitive pathological cycle and allowing cellular recovery. This result is markedly reduced healing times and pain relief.
Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy is a non-invasive, safe method of relieving pain by stimulating the central nervous system using gentle biofeedback. The device re-educates and encourages the body to powerfully use its own internal pharmacy of bioactive substances, especially neuro-peptides. Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy is not simply one-way communication like most electro-therapies. Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy tunes into the body’s nervous system biofeedback, and it understands the body’s needs from sophisticated software that interprets the body’s own signals to stimulate the body’s own healing process.
Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy treatments are primarily associated with pain management. Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy treatments have a long track record of providing relief from joint pain including foot, ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, TMJ, back and neck problems as well has headache and migraine pain relief.
Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy has proven to be safe for almost anyone, including children. In over 20 years of widespread use around the world, very few unwanted side effects have been reported. The only absolute contraindication is for people with a cardiac pacemaker.
Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy is painless and a ZOM provider will adjust the energy of the electrical impulse to each individual patient.
Yes. Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy is non-invasive and compatible with most conventional treatments. Many practitioners welcome Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy treatment and are aware that – under a provider’s supervision – they may enable you to reduce or even eliminate pain.
The major distinguishing characteristic is Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy “listens” to the body and adjusting its electrical impulses based on what it “hears” from the body. TENS has no biofeedback or adjusting based on how the body is changing. TENS is simple, monophasic waveforms, static and non-specific. Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy therapy is dynamic, and it is constantly being moved by the doctor over the affected area in order to intelligently find the best treatment points based on biofeedback from the Electro-Magnetic Biofeedback Therapy device.
