Adaptive Electrotherapy
The traditional Electro-Medical devices (both Direct Current and Alternating Current) emit a waveform without any ability of self-regulation for the entire time of application/treatment to the patient.
The constant emission is a characteristic of widespread electrotherapies such as Tens, Tecar, and RadioFrequencies but also of other traditional technologies such as Hyperthermia, Cryotherapy, Ultrasound, Magnetic Fields, Shockwaves, Lasers, which, creating adaptability, and often have low therapeutic value or a limited scope of application.
THE FEEDBACK is THE SECRET
The secret of the ENF technology (Electro Neuro Feedback) is the innovative technology based on feedback. . ENF generates waveforms that change automatically when the impedance of the skin changes, according to a compensation algorithm, i.e. according to Feedback.
This process of continuous regulation of the waveform leads to a bio-electrical rebalancing of the membrane of the cells which form the underlying tissues. In turn, the equilibrium reached supports the regeneration processes that the tissues involved are able to express according to the severity of the damage and the potential of the organism.
The process of adaptation to the stimulus is reduced due to self-regulation following each micro-change. The wide range of protocols gives the ENF device exceptional and high therapeutic potential. The positive effects can obtain from the first therapy. It may happen that chronic cases can be resolved in days, weeks, or even in a single session.

Adaptive Electrotherapy Treatment Phases
By keeping the double detection electrode in contact with the skin, the ENF transmits and receives impulses, exchanging them between the two electrodes. During the exchange, the impulses come into contact with the nerve endings of the skin and undergo changes that are recorded by the equipment.
Phase 1
The Initial Diagnosis
The doctor/physician will search for the treatment points during this phase; The skin is a projection surface of bio-electrical reactions. In the presence of pathology, the skin surface has an altered impedance. The ENF technology “in a similar way to a surface electromyography” offers the possibility to identify the point or area of modification of the skin response and create a complete diagnostic mapping. This feature is useful for guiding subsequent treatment, especially when the patient’s condition is complicated and a differential diagnosis is needed.
Phase 2
Bio-Electric Balance Treatment
The second phase involves the selection of the therapeutic effect suitable for the situation, chosen by the physician according to the pathological conditions of the anatomical structure that showed the unnatural reaction during the diagnosis phase.
The wide availability of treatments and the versatility of ENF therapy leads to the rapid achievement of high-quality results in many pathologies.
