I asked her "what's the difference between this and using a tens or a rebuilder?" and she explained they put the electrodes "not on the place of pain" but higher up. And it affect neurons in a special way.

Insurance doesn't cover it and it's a course of 5 or so visits, and it's about $2000. So I did ask the pertinent questions.

I also asked if they treated anyone who had NON chemo induced neuropathy and she said 'oh yes"

So if anyone is interested they should check out the website.

Hi Melody. I have been researching PN for many years. I have never read where if the found there cause of PN there was anything they could do about it. Thirteen years ago i took ZOCOR. Unknowingly it said PN was a side effect.
Within 3 months of taking it i had PN.

Why spend millions of dollars trying to find the cause when their is nothing anyone can do about it. I look for ways to lessen my pain so i can have a better life.


Less pain to all. GEORGE
