NeuroToner/NCA (Neural Conduction Accelerator)
- Pioneering the Field of Nerve Rehabilitation
- Facilitate Quick Recoveries
- Automatic Computerized Circuitry
The NeuroToner/NCA, formerly known as the AndroMed, represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of pain and chronic discomfort associated with damaged nerves and muscles. Its patented process (U.S. Patent 4,754,759 NEURAL CONDUCTION ACCELERATOR AND METHOD OF APPLICATION) increases the function and healing of damaged or re-attached severed nerves.
The NeuroToner/NCA is simple to operate. The pre-programmed digital/analog circuitry requires minimal operator control, and allows the operator to learn and begin therapy within 15 minutes. The NeuroToner/NCA uses rechargeable batteries. Because of the single connector for either output to the patient or battery charger, the unit cannot be operated while the unit is charging. Therefore, there is NO CHANCE OF ACCIDENTAL ELECTRIC SHOCK!
The NeuroToner/NCA has been used effectively by Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Nurses, Massage Therapists, Podiatrists, Neurologists, Family Practitioners, and in Sports Rehabilitation.

The Treatment Process
Nerve Conduction Slide Show (1 mb pdf)
In damaged nerves, the normal signal pattern is often changed or interrupted causing the nerve to fire spontaneously creating a pain message to the brain. These changed neural patterns are often "memorized" by individual nerves and continue firing in the memorized spontaneous pattern, even after the initial damage. This "neurological pain" may persist for years. If the nerves are taught the normal pattern of nerve conduction, they will "memorize" the normal pattern and not the previously memorized spontaneous pattern.
Many years of research by Dr. John A. Allocca, a medical research scientist, resulted in a theoretical model of nerve conduction and the associated composite waveform (see Theoretical Analysis of Nerve Conduction and Rehabilitation, Allocca, J.A., American Journal of Electromedicine, Second-Third Quarter 1987). The composite waveform of the theoretical model was put into electronic circuitry and applied through the nerves from the surface of the skin. The results indicate that the nerves begin to follow and memorize the composite waveform instead of the "memorized spontaneous" patterns. This composite waveform activates and initiates the rehabilitation of damaged nerves, enhancing their ability to function normally.
Block Pain or Rehabilitate Nerves
Block Pain with T.E.N.S.
Place the T.E.N.S. electrodes between the pain signal and the brain and make the T.E.N.S. signal larger than the pain signal to block pain.
Rehabilitate Nerve Function with the NCA
Place the NCA (Neural Conduction Accelerator) red electrode on the nerve proximal to the injury area and the black electrode distal to the injury area to rehabilitate (re-train) the nerve to achieve normal nerve function
NeuroToner/NCA Purchase
The AndroMed IV was FDA approved until it was discontinued in 1996. Because of a recent limited demand for this device, we have constructed a limited quantity for healthcare professionals to use for research purposes. The NCA is sold only to healthcare practitioners for research purposes. Please allow 2 weeks for delivery.

Testimonials
I found the AndroMed very helpful in treating patients with lower back pain and Bell's Palsy, and have seen dramatic results. In many cases surgery was avoided. - Dr. S. S. Dhanjal, M.D., Queens Village, New York
I am a board certified physician in family practice. I first became aware of the AndroMed's effectiveness when a colleague applied this technique to me for the treatment of lower back and discogenic disease with sciatic nerve involvement. The treatment significantly shortened the course of my pain and discomfort. I have used this device successfully in patients with tendonitis, Bell's palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, certain aspects of multiple sclerosis and a number of other neuromuscular disorders. In ordering and prescribing this modality, satisfactory third party reimbursements have been no problem. - Dr. Vito Caselnova, M.D., Long Island, New York
I have been using the AndroMed to treat a variety of disorders including lumbosacral strains, cervical sprains, Bell's palsy and many other problems. I treat approximately twenty-five patients weekly with the AndroMed and all achieve total relief or significant improvement. 30% had no reoccurrence of complaint. The rest had long-term relief (over thirty days). - Dr. Louis Reznick, D.O., Glendale, New York
During the last year an average of twenty patients per week were treated with the AndroMed for sprains, strains, disc problems and inflammation. Over 90% of those treated had total relief or long- term relief. Third party reimbursement is excellent. The machine is well received by my patients. I recommend this device to all my colleagues. - Dr. Steven Sygman, D.C., Montauk, New York
