If you are looking for cheaper pads, I went on Dynatronics website and looked at a picture they have of the STS being used. The pads appear to be a standard 1" round gel-type pad that is commonly used for EMS units. If that is so, then all one needs to do is contact their chiropractor or PT and order a package or three of generic pads (they are cheap and work just fine) from a company like Meyers Distributors. For just pads, you might even be able to get the distributor to sell directly to you.
Now when it comes to buying a machine or getting instructions to use one, it is true that most if not all chiro's or PT's will have to physically see you to legally dispense a machine. It is not a "gimmick" but it is the law for which the doc or PT can go out on the malpractic plank by not doing so!
