NuCalm
NuCalm is a patented system designed to help reduce stress and anxiety, particularly in clinical settings like dental offices in Jackson. It works by using a combination of neuroscience-based techniques to activate the body’s natural relaxation response. Here’s how it works and how it can help dental patients:
How NuCalm Works:
- Relaxation via Biochemical Modulation: NuCalm uses a system that includes a combination of neuroacoustic software and a topical patch that contains a blend of amino acids. The software plays specific binaural beats designed to guide the brain into a very deep, relaxed state, while the patch helps to balance neurotransmitters and induce calm.
- Brainwave Entrainment: The neuroacoustic sound tracks are designed to guide the brain’s electrical activity into a state of deep relaxation. Through a process called brainwave entrainment, these sounds encourage the brain to transition into alpha and theta brainwave states, which are related with relaxation, calm, and reduced anxiety.
- Biosignal Processing Disc: Together with the NuCalm mobile app, the Biosignal Processing Disc enhances and elevates your relaxation journey to make sure you reach new depths of calmness. The NuCalm Biosignal Processing Disc is indeed a breakthrough accessory designed to activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system by upregulating the production and release of GABA, sidestepping traditional metabolic and absorption barriers to deliver unparalleled relaxation. The Pericardium 6 acupressure point on your left arm contains a direct Meridien connection to the Pericardium sac, which contains your heart. The frequencies of naturally occurring neurotransmitters, GABA and L-Theanine, travel via your arm, to your heart, and to your brain. This interrupts the cortisol and adrenaline response, allowing the NuCalm “music” software to slow your brainwave frequency, thus relaxing the mind and body. The discs are embedded with electromagnetic frequencies specific to natural elements within our bodies. No chemical or transdermal element is released from the discs – only frequencies or biosignals are transmitted.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Visualization: NuCalm may incorporate guided imagery and mental techniques to further reduce anxiety by helping patients focus their thoughts on calm and comforting scenarios.
How NuCalm Helps Dental Patients
- Reduces Anxiety and Fear: Dental anxiety is common, and NuCalm’s system helps patients achieve a relaxed state before and during dental procedures, reducing the anxiety that can be triggered by sounds, smells, and the anticipation of pain.
- Non-Sedative and Non-Pharmacological: Unlike traditional sedation methods (like oral sedatives or nitrous oxide), NuCalm doesn’t rely on drugs. This makes it a safer alternative for patients who may be quite sensitive to medications or who prefer to avoid them.
- Improves Comfort and Reduces Perception of Pain: By helping patients relax deeply, NuCalm can also reduce their perception of pain, making dental treatments feel more comfortable and less stressful.
- Shorter Recovery Time: Since there are no drugs involved, the recovery time after a procedure is typically faster compared to conventional sedation methods, meaning patients may get back to their normal activities without lingering side effects.
- Suitable for Various Procedures: Whether a patient is undergoing a routine cleaning, a filling, or even more invasive dental work, NuCalm can be used to help decrease stress and improve the whole experience.
In short, NuCalm helps dental patients by offering a natural, non-invasive way to deal with stress and anxiety, hence leading to a more comfortable and positive dental experience.
