How does the Bioflex compare with other conventional treatments?
Alternative rehabilitation therapies including ultrasound, interferential current and TENS have seen extensive use in the reduction of pain. Unlike BioFlex, however, the healing effects of these treatments have been disappointing as they only modulate symptoms. At best, alternative therapies act as counter-irritants, creating a transient increase in circulation and the release of endorphins, providing only temporary symptomatic relief. In comparison the BioFlex system also provides pain relief due to the release of beta-endorphins and cortisol, but the more important significant effects are cumulative, seen over the course of a series of treatments. Accordingly, BioFlex is able to reverse the pathology directly at the cellular level, thereby relieving symptoms.
