Taktone Instruments     What can Taktone do for your patients?
How does Taktone work?  The body has a natural ability to heal or defend itself. For these mechanisms to work, the body has to first recognize certain stimulations or stresses. These stimulations can be artificially placed onto the body so it can heal or defend itself. For example, modern medicine takes advantage of the body’s natural ability for defense through the use of vaccinations. The immune response is the body’s natural mechanism of defense. Vaccines are weakened forms of viruses or antigens that are injected into the body to initiate the immune response. The body then detects this antigen and creates antibodies. The body is now protected from future infections of this virus.  The body’s natural mechanism for tissue repair can be manipulated in much the same way as the immune response. In tissue repair, the body first detects that a stress or injury has occurred and then initiates an inflammatory response. The body then creates scar tissue and lays down new collagen to finish the repair process. In many musculoskeletal diseases, tissue is repaired improperly because this natural mechanism failed in one or more steps. For this tissue to re-heal, it has to be injured again so that a new inflammatory process can begin. Reinjuring an area comes with an increase risk for chronic pain and disability. With the new Taktone IASTM Intruments, an inflammatory response can now be artificially created without having to reinjure the area. Tissue repair will then follow naturally as before.  In the health profession, we must emphasize that factors such as age, nutrition, and mobility play important roles in the healing process. Applying the Taktone tools and techniques and considering these factors will drastically improve patient outcomes. |
