If you have seen Chelsea wearing circular stickers made of carbonized metal, chances are, you have wondered “what are those?” These discs emit frequencies that stimulate the nervous system and promote healing at both cellular and neural levels.

These devices are activated by body heat to release electrical frequencies that normalize and optimize all systems (nervous, endocrine, organ, muscular, vascular, lymphatic and hormonal). Patients experience detox symptoms that are comfortable.

What is ANF?

Amino Neuro Frequency Therapy is an innovative, painless method of healing at the cellular level. The therapy utilizes circular ANF Discs which emit specific frequencies that interact with our body’s electromagnetic field to initiate self-healing responses at the neural level. This treatment offers significant relief from inflammation while improving overall health.

ANF Discs are made of carbonized metal with a unique electrical frequency that resonates with multiple functions in your body (nervous system, endocrine glands, organs, muscular tissue and lymphatic system) in order to regulate and optimize them. Once placed onto the body they become activated through infrared heat activation and begin working to optimize these functions and regulate and optimize them accordingly.

After palpation by your ANF Therapist, ANF discs are applied directly to affected areas and left on for up to three days. Your nervous system then picks up on these frequencies transmitted from ANF discs and starts sending corrective signals directly to weakened or dysfunctional areas – starting a self-healing process in their wake.

Inflammation is one of the primary factors in illness, and decreasing it through ANF therapy is one effective way to heal your body. Chronic inflammation causes neurological dysfunction that compromises overall function and wellbeing; ANF therapy works to combat this inflammation while also restoring normal nerve functioning for overall improved wellbeing.

Many clients experience immediate relief after placing ANF Discs on their bodies, while clients with serious conditions, like cancer and autoimmune diseases, often require multiple ANF treatments over a course of time to ensure that their condition does not return.

ANF addresses health conditions from their root source by correcting neurological frequencies that have been disrupted by physical, emotional or mental stressors – making it an efficient holistic healing approach. Furthermore, ANF is suitable for those suffering from trypanophobia as it’s completely painless with no chemicals or needles involved.

How Does ANF Work?

Amino Neuro Frequency is a noninvasive and drug-free approach to healing that operates at the frequency level. The process involves applying small circular stickers that emit specific frequencies to stimulate your nervous system and promote self-healing at both cellular and neural levels.

ANF works under the principle that every physical process within our bodies operates at its own frequency, which when disrupted can lead to pain and illness. ANF uses two fundamental physical principles; convergence resonance and electromagnetism – taught at Dr Mikel Hoff’s ANF Academy. ANF practitioners can determine which nerve or function has an affected frequency by performing physical exams before using external frequencies to boost its performance, helping the body heal itself naturally.

ANF devices are constructed of carbonised metal that holds and transmits various frequencies, placing them on the skin where infrared and body heat activates them, then sending strengthening/correction signals to neurological frequencies that have become weak or diminished over time. Each frequency differs completely from radio or other types of resonance frequencies and has undergone rigorous safety and effectiveness testing.

When properly utilized by a trained practitioner, ANF discs can help heal various ailments quickly and permanently. Results often become visible almost instantly while long-term benefits may require regular protocols. Many clients come to MyPhysio seeking solutions for neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, migraines, gastrointestinal problems and inflammation among many other issues.

ANF therapy starts by gathering a detailed history and performing a comprehensive physical exam and palpation to ascertain the source of your health issue. After creating a protocol specifically for you, they will apply ANF Devices directly onto the affected area during an ANF session and may adjust placement as necessary throughout. You may experience detox symptoms during ANF therapy as your body releases waste products that it had stored up over time – do not mistake this for being negative and an indication that ANF therapy is working!

What are the Benefits of ANF?

At PHASE PT and Wellness, we are thrilled to introduce Amino Neuro Frequency Therapy as a novel way of relieving pain and healing the body through frequency. This noninvasive drug-free approach provides patients with more long-term results than traditional methods.

ANF operates under the principle that every biochemical process in your body operates at its own unique frequency and that pain and illness are often signs of an imbalance. ANF’s special neurological frequencies stimulate your nervous system’s self-healing and regulatory mechanisms by sending “correction signals” to areas not functioning optimally in your body.

ANF uses discs worn on the body to improve nerve function and send signals to the brain to reduce stress, inflammation, pain and muscle tension. The discs are made from carbonized metal (developed by NASA 20 years ago), adhere to skin with double-sided 3M tape and activated by your own body heat – unlike many frequencies used medically – these ones are completely unique neurological frequencies used only by ANF.

As ANF is a holistic healing approach, it also considers other factors which could be contributing to one area of pain in the body. ANF addresses issues in lymphatic, digestive and nervous systems to provide lasting pain relief for many of its clients.

ANF therapy is safe and effective for everyone from newborns to elderly adults, from infants and pregnant mothers through elderly adults. It has been shown to ease back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines, fibromyalgia, anxiety and PTSD symptoms while simultaneously helping reduce inflammation and improve the flow of blood and lymph throughout the body, leading to improved health and wellbeing. Furthermore, ANF does not cause any side effects and its benefits can typically be felt within minutes after application and last 72 hours or longer after becoming routine; once established protocols have been established it may only need be seen once per week thereafter until all symptoms have subsided.

What is the Cost of ANF?

When activated by body heat, discs transmit neuro frequencies directly along nerve pathways to boost nervous system signaling at a cellular level and initiate and accelerate self-healing and self-regulating processes. Optimizing, strengthening, and normalizing all muscle groups, organs, lymphatic system functioning, hormone production without adding chemicals into your system are among its many benefits.

Most patients notice an immediate decrease in pain upon first applying ANF discs; typically these discs provide relief for around 72 hours.

ANF can assist with an array of conditions, such as back pain, sciatica, stomach/intestinal issues, inflammation, migraines, hypersensitivity neck stiffness fatigue or stress PTSD and autoimmune issues.

Julio Santiago, a New York State-licensed massage therapist and ANF practitioner, reports having seen many clients experience immediate and long-lasting results with his ANF practice. He suggests treatments of 5-20 discs. A $50 initial assessment can be added onto additional consultation fees of $25; discs cost $6 each. ANF therapy supports healthy lifestyle habits such as drinking plenty of water, eating nutritious foods, sleeping soundly and exercising regularly – complementing each of them for best results.

Ultrasound energy impacts body tissues with mechanical vibration that exceeds human hearing range, creating sounds at frequencies well beyond human audibility. Therapeutic ultrasound machines typically use frequencies between 1 MHz and 3 MHz while longwave devices produce 40-50kHz frequencies – well outside what could be audible noise limits.

Different frequencies vary the rate at which energy is absorbed by tissue, leading to different heating effects.

1. Intensity

Ultrasound therapy treatments vary in intensity depending on how much energy is transmitted from the ultrasound soundhead to tissue interface. Frequency used and depth penetration all affect intensity.

Ultrasound is an acoustic mechanical energy wave beyond human hearing range (16Hz-20kHz). When applied to soft tissues, ultrasound causes micro-vibrations within it which stimulate blood flow towards that area and can aid with oxygen and chemical delivery into promote healing processes.

Different tissues absorb ultrasound waves differently; generally speaking, high collagen structures such as ligaments, tendons and fascia absorb more of its energy while more dense tissues such as muscle and bone don’t. 2.

Therapeutic ultrasound requires some sort of conductor in order to deliver its acoustic mechanical energy into tissue interface. This could take the form of ultrasound gel, gel pads, mineral oil or lotions or water immersion (via plastic tub).

These factors all impact how much energy is transferred into tissues and absorbed by them, creating multiple factors to consider when selecting an ultrasound frequency frequency for your patient.

At its core, ultrasound wave intensity matters most when treating tissues; typically 1-MHz treatments heat intramuscular tissues up to 2.5 cm while 3-MHz treatments heat intermuscular tissues up to 1.6 cm.

The difference in penetration depth between the two frequencies can also be explained by differences in their acoustic impedance, which describes how much resistance a material offers against transmission of ultrasound waves 2.

Higher frequency frequencies tend to have greater acoustic impedance, making them more likely to transmit through soft tissues than dense tissues, so lower ultrasound frequencies should be chosen for deep-tissue work and higher ones for superficial tissue work.

2. Duty Cycle

The amount of acoustic energy absorbed by tissues depends on several factors, including frequency, dose (W/cm2), duty cycle and duration of treatment. Tissues with higher protein density such as tendon, ligament or muscle absorb more sound energy than tissues with greater water content such as skin or adipose; while distance from sound head to tissue surface influences how quickly energy is absorbed.

Ultrasound waves vibrate tissue, heating it up. This process is known as cavitation; by increasing tissue temperature it may help alleviate pain, increase blood flow to an area and accelerate transport of chemicals that aid healing.

Dependent upon the frequency of an ultrasound machine, you have two modes for use: continuous or pulsed. Continuous mode involves sending sound waves all of the time while pulsed mode includes periods when sound energy does not travel through tissue. You can set your duty cycle between 10%-20-50%.

Studies have demonstrated that 120kHz UET’s lytic efficacy increases with increasing duty cycle in an in vitro human clot model. While cavitation or other mechanisms may contribute to this increased lysis, optimizing ultrasound parameters is still crucial when treating complex thrombolysis cases.

Before using ultrasound, it’s essential that a conductor be used to transfer sound energy into tissue. Conductors include gel pads, mineral oil, different lotions or even water immersion – some conductors provide thermal effects while others only mechanical ones; in either case allowing tissue “cool down” after each transmission of ultrasound wave transmission.

3. Pulsed Ratios

Ultrasound units used for therapeutic application transmit energy that lies within the acoustic spectrum, typically between 1 MHz and 3 MHz, providing clinicians with flexibility in selecting which operating frequency best meets each application. Most high quality machines allow clinicians to choose which operating frequency best matches each use case.

Ultrasound machines emit sound waves known as pulsed waves. This sound wave is created by a vibrating crystal which alternately compresses and refracts as it hits tissue interface (see figure 12.1), creating an asymmetrical compression/refraction process which results in an irregular, pulsatile wave – this may lead to cavitation (also known as the Acoustic Streaming Effect or ASEA; see figure 13.3) which may cause local heating. Although this does not occur with all pulsed modes such as 1:4 mode or continuous output mode output mode (see figure 13.3) this local heating can occur with some such as 1:4 mode or continuous output mode (CW or continuous output mode).

For therapeutic purposes, it’s crucial that we understand how ultrasound wave frequency affects its therapeutic effects. As ultrasound frequency increases, more energy is absorbed by deeper tissues instead of superficial ones – hence why higher frequencies are often employed when targeting tendons and fascia with lower BNR values.

With lower frequencies, more of the ultrasound energy reflected back from tissues or refracted back towards the surface, enabling clinicians to use lower frequency ultrasound for tissue that does not absorb its full energy absorption potential. This allows more superficial tissues such as muscle or fat layers to benefit from being treated at this frequency level.

Before starting therapy with ultrasound, it is crucial that a Physical Therapist Assistant communicate with their client and discuss why ultrasound might be an appropriate modality as well as screen for potential precautions or contraindications to this therapy modality.

As part of their treatment regimen, therapists should monitor patients during each ultrasound treatment to make sure that they don’t overdo or tolerating it too strongly. An overzealous individual could quickly cause pain in the treated area as well as overexposure to potentially harmful ultrasound rays.

4. Time

As ultrasound waves pass through tissue, part of them reflect off of interfaces between tissues; while others are absorbed and cause temperatures in that tissue to increase – with frequency increase coming faster temperatures can rise further.

Thus a 3 MHz emission can produce faster temperature rise in tissues than 1 MHz emission; however, energy available is still limited by what can pass through tissue at any given point – known as penetration depth; half value depth (or half power penetration) indicates where half of available energy has been absorbed into tissues.

At The Physio Place, physiotherapists utilize therapeutic (not diagnostic) ultrasound technology to treat muscles, joints and soft tissues of the body. As ultrasound is an electromagnetic form of energy it falls under Electro Physical Agents category.

Ultrasound therapy is a safe, noninvasive solution with many applications and indications. It can be combined with other therapies to boost their healing effects and can even serve as a preventative measure by keeping muscles and connective tissues warm through friction massage, tissue mobilisations or stretching techniques. Ultrasound has also proven useful as a painless and cost-effective means of treating injuries such as muscle strains, tendonitis or soft tissue pathologies without incurring further injury to soft tissue pathologies in patients.

Therapeutic ultrasound in your practice can be done simply and painlessly by placing a transducer onto the skin with hypoallergenic contact gel and connecting it to a computerised generator that transmits sound waves at predetermined frequencies through its probe. Ultrasound imaging has become an indispensable tool in obstetrics for monitoring fetal heart rates, joint injections and arterial line placements. Other uses for ultrasound include lithotripsy, atrial fibrillation diagnosis and fracture healing. Cosmetic applications of LED therapy also include the reduction of fat, cellulite and adipose tissue. Furthermore, the technology’s use has quickly expanded due to its many clinical advantages such as increasing hip range of motion and knee range of motion; strengthening weak muscles; and decreasing foot and leg edema.
