SCENAR Therapy: A New Horizon in Pet Pain Management

Veterinary SCENAR therapy was initially developed by the Russians in the late ‘70s. The original device treated astronauts as a biofeedback device aiding muscle re-education and relaxation training. In the ‘90s, as the USSR broke up, the technology became widely available to medical providers in the U.S. Today, it has FDA approval. It is used to locate and take measurements of painful areas and provide pain treatment for those areas. The device and treatment method also have European Common Market certification for use in pain control. 

When working with animals, pinpointing the source of trouble is sometimes more complex than with humans. The device is used to detect areas that require treatment. This therapy method stimulates specific nerve endings to produce the body’s chemicals to reduce pain, provide anti-inflammatory results, and promote general healing. The technology helps us provide gentle and thorough care for our Chula Vista and East Lake patients.
