ONDAMED® Technology
What is ONDAMED?
ONDAMED® is a battery-powered biofeedback device that a medical practitioner uses to determine which frequencies of sound, as well as the accompanying weak pulsed electromagnetic fields, cause a response in a patient's autonomic nervous system. Temporary stimulation by these frequencies, combined with the patient's cognitive and non-cognitive participation, promotes relaxation, muscle re-education, and various other prescription uses, such as pain relief, stress relief linked with reduction of inflammation and potential improvement of the immune system.
Therapists throughout Europe have been using ONDAMED® for over 10 years with great success. Rolf Binder, the inventor of ONDAMED®, has been in the field of Information Technology and Medical Electronics for more than 20 years. Specializing in biophysical medical testing and therapy application, Binder has invented numerous well-known medical devices for German medical equipment manufacturers, including Medtronic. In 1993 he decided to start his own company Binder GmbH and in 2002 opened its US subsidiary, ONDAMED® Inc. in order to reach a wider audience with his ground-breaking invention. The ONDAMED® device supercedes all previous inventions in specificity, versatility, and effectiveness. Patients and practitioners using ONDAMED® frequencies have reported benefits on all levels of well-being: physical, emotional, and mental. ONDAMED® is a tool that will put your practice on the cutting edge of mind-body medicine, psychoneuroimmunology, and pain management. No practitioner should be without it.
How does ONDAMED® work?
ONDAMED® works by using mild sound and accompanying magnetic pulses to stimulate the body at various frequencies. A medical practitioner monitors the response of the autonomic nervous system to these frequencies by noting changes in the pulse and informs the patient of findings, thus providing the information needed for biofeedback to occur. The identified stimulating sound and magnetic frequencies are then temporarily applied to identified areas while the patient relearns how to be in a healthier state.
Biofeedback works because the body is a complex adaptive system that processes information about itself and its circumstances in various networks and feedback loops in order to maintain stability and health. Most of these networks and feedback loops can respond to a stimulus without engaging the conscious mind. In doing this, the body relies heavily on the autonomic nervous system, a system which was once thought to be totally independent of the conscious mind. The autonomic nervous system is now known to be affected by the conscious mind and can even be controlled by it through a process know as biofeedback. The mechanisms by which biofeedback works are not completely understood but it is well documented that biofeedback is safe and effective.
