I too considered it and my spouse had a long chat with the owner. I am dubious about the claims....there is no peer reviewed research to back it up; if the machine is so wonderful, why has it not been adopted or bought by others; the owner does not make it clear that he DOES NOT have a PhD (he writes ABD after PhD but it takes a university person to know that means he did his coursework and some exams but did not write the research thesis....a key part of the PhD), etc. Also, look at the list of conditions and diseases that he claims to be able to treat....pretty extensive and far fetched.
I think what helps some people is that his clinic focusses on the neck....which will help a lot of people ... But the same as if they went to a good physio /physical therapist.
Having said all that, if I lived right there and had a load of money, maybe I would try it! I am desperate, after all. Like many here.
If you haven't done so already, maybe you should post about your symptoms and you can get some good advice from the great people on this site.
It is hell....and I can completely understand your search.

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺).

Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky!

Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance.
