I wouldn't go back there and allow them again. IFc can be given a different way. IFc was very effective for my pain from a tendon injury. In 3 visits + ultrasound, my pain was down from 8 to a 2 or so. I had suffered with it for 4 weeks on vacation too. Only with Lidoderms to take the edge off. (in the boonies)

For many, IFC is much more effective than conventional stim. That particular set-up shown, the cups are a semisoft rubber with foam sponges that are inserted inside the cup to contact the patient's skin. Don't know if they are hypoallergenic or not....
