Lucy,

My wife had Scenar treatment on her back and swears by it, but I have never tried it. It involved sliding a little machine, about the size of a smart phone, over the surface of the body, scanning to locate the source of the problem and then applying it to effect relief. Where the source is found, the indication is that the machine 'sticks' and resists sliding.

The operator increases the 'power' until the patient just feels something like an electric shock - like one of those practical joke buttons that kids used to have. Increasing the voltage beyond that point causes discomfort and, eventually, pain.

Following the treatment the machine can slide freely over the detected area.

Seems like black magic to me (a non-believer in alternative medicine) but my wife, who is a healthcare professional, was convinced that it worked for her.
