How does Sigma Q (ΣQ®) work?

To understand how Sigma Q (ΣQ®) technology works, you first need to understand how your muscles work. The brain sends signals through the nervous system to make our muscles activate and perform. Within the nervous system, synapses are the structures that permit neurons (nerve cells) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to other neurons or the target efferent cell. The chemical that is transmitted is called acetylcholine. When a muscle is compromised, the damage impedes the brain’s ability to effectively send signals through the synapses to reach the muscle, reducing or minimizing this acetylcholine communication. This causes pain and inactive muscle tissue.

Sigma Q (ΣQ®) sends a specialized frequency deep into tissue at the motor neuron level. Effectively replicating natural neuromuscular activity, Sigma Q (ΣQ®) travels naturally through the body, while communicating with the brain to deliver the frequency to the areas where the body needs it most.

MUSCLE ACTIVATION

Muscles are at their best when they are moving – or activated. This is why engaging in low-intensity exercise before and after workouts prevents soreness and helps you recover faster. Our technology makes it easier for your muscles to recover, grow and repair.

With injury, sometimes a muscle is ready for recovery but the sensory nervous system gets in the way, causing excess pain and hindering movement. Until now, this roadblock has made deep tissue repair and rehabilitation almost impossible

FAQ's

What makes Sigma Q (ΣQ®) technology so unique?
It speeds up muscle recovery and provides pain relief by activating the nerves, which in turn, activate the muscle tissue. It is a neurological technology (neurotherapy) that communicates with the brain and central nervous system vs. a topical treatment like massage, stim., lotions, laser, etc. that cannot enter the central nervous system
How does a healthy muscle work?
Our bodies are made of multiple muscle groups which are controlled by the brain and communicated through the spine to motor neurons. The neurons communicate with the muscle group and when healthy, the related nerves naturally release/spray a chemical called Acetylcholine which maintains muscle activation. When the muscle group becomes fatigue, injured, or has incurred a surgery, the nerves become compromised and stop naturally communicating with the muscle. This minimizes the release of Acetylcholine and the muscle becomes deactivated.
How safe and proven is Sigma Q (ΣQ®)?
Completely safe. It was originally developed over 25 years ago by Dr. Roberto Ciaff who is a trained neurosurgeon under the National Healthcare System of the UK. It was first patented in 2001 and has received CE medical approval in Europe. Overall, Sigma Q (ΣQ®) has many years of clinical use by therapists of all kinds, supported by multiple research projects and medical approvals. A recent study with Auburn University showed Sigma Q (ΣQ®) reduced the muscle recovery time by 50%.
What is the difference between muscle activation vs. stimulation?
Stimulation is typically topical like lotions, electrical stimulation, laser & massage and has no ability to directly impact the nerve that impacts muscle activation. Activation happens only when the muscle and its related motor neurons (nerves) are communicating correctly. These nerves reside 1-3 inches inside the body and are hard to reach non-invasively. Exercise is actually a great way to activate muscle tissues internally.
