EAT STIMULATION
Local application of heat has always been used both in medicine and
“home remedies” to relieve pain and organic dysfunction.
Research has demonstrated the type of thermal receptors and stimulating
action of heat.
The mobilized polymodal receptors transmit information by nerve
channels, inducing
-
local effects
(vasodilatation, extravasation, inflammation and
modification of the cellular metabolism, etc.)
-
central effects
(modification of the perception of the pain,
adapted integration and reaction of the central nervous
system, stimulation of the immune system...)
Energy must nonetheless be applied in as efficient a manner as possible.
This means reaching the target in a sufficient quantity without causing
collateral damage.
The type of heat source is crucial. It must be adapted to the cutaneous
and deep thermal receptors.
