Calcific Tendinitis of the Shoulder: A Neuro-Psychomotor Behavioral Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach With Radioelectric Asymmetric Conveyer Neurobiological Stimulation Treatments

Abstract

Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder (CTS) is one of the pathological conditions that most often affects the shoulder and consists of a calcium deposit that settles within the tendon tissue of the rotator cuff. The scientific literature has long highlighted the impact of anxiety, stress, and depression on CTS. The goal of this case report is to highlight how the emotional state of patients and their neuro-psychomotor behavior induce a state of constant muscular tension which, through the physical phenomenon of piezoelectricity, causes calcium salts to precipitate and form calcifications. Therefore, stress, anxiety, and depression are likely factors underlying the etiopathogenesis of CTS. Consistent with this interpretation, this report presents five cases of CTS treated with three specific neurobiological stimulation treatments using the radioelectric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology, which has demonstrated its effectiveness on alterations in postural attitude intended as neuro-psychomotor behavior, anxiety, stress, and depression, as well as on autonomic and metabolic alterations of the tissues at a local level. The results presented suggest that this approach may be useful in the treatment and prevention of CTS.

Effects of the radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) on motor disorders: An integrative review

“…It can be considered a manifestation of the deterioration of the allostatic mechanisms of development influenced by genetic alterations and environmental stress factors (65). The study by Fontani et al, identified that all patients who received REAC NPO treatment showed the disappearance of functional dysmetria up to 18 years after administration of the protocol (37,38). This phenomenon can be explained by the functional optimization of neuronal communication, where an increase in the efficiency of the activation pattern substantiates the participation of neural circuits strictly necessary to perform the motor task (12)(13)(14).…”

“…Therefore, the normality of the bioelectric field in the central nervous system depends on the morphological and functional integrity of the cells and, thus, neurological and psychiatric diseases are related to changes in bioelectricity, which contribute to stereotyped responses of brain functions (46,51,52). This leads to clinical, psychological, and functional manifestations that characterize a given disease (17,18,20,28,37). The effect of REAC technology on endogenous bioelectricity…”

“…Although some studies (3,29,31,(37)(38)(39) have investigated the impact of REAC protocols on motor control, the topic needs to be explored. It is known that neurological conditions that impair motor control possibly modify the electric field produced by neuronal circuits, altering the communication and integration of information (40).…”

Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) Neurobiological Stimulation Treatments in Dysfunctional Motor Behavior in Flail Arm Syndrome: A Case Report

“…The patient was also examined for the presence of functional dysmetria [ 10 , 11 , 15 ] (FD), which manifests itself as an asymmetrical activation of symmetrical muscle groups, in our case at the level of the quadriceps femoris. FD can be related to acquired disorganization of the neuro-psycho-motor control in relation to the allostatic load [ 16 , 17 ]. The observed FD was approximately 8 centimeters, far exceeding the mean values observed in the general population.…”
