I did a search on this forum to see if this has been discussed before and I can't find any thread that has this topic (maybe I'm incorrect) but I thought I would share this info would you all. This sounds VERY PROMISING

Here is a link to one of the websites and there are photos and explanations.

I'm trying to find one in NYC that does this. There is a clinic in Long Island called the Osteo Relief Institute that does this (I found their ad in today's Daily News). Went to their website and they are a pain relieving clinic that does this but we can't get to Long Island.

We can go to NYC and I'm trying to find a place where this might be done. I googled this and can't find any of the NYC hospitals that offer this particular treatment.

Alan has had nerve blocks and epidurals and trigger point injections in the toes and nothing worked.

But this combined two procedure thing, well, it looks hopeful.

What do you all think?

Thanks, Melody

Also, mine is in my upper back. Did they mention if it could be done there?

I just called the office. The Dr. name is Kenneth Rich. I have an appointment tomorrow at 3:00pm. I will let you know how I make out. He is just a regular MD. I am not sure if he would be able to do an injection in my upper back/neck C5-6 area nor would I necessarily want him since he is not an anesthesiologist.

Here is Rich’s info

Here is his info

He mentioned iff I couldn’t reach him he would call me back the following day. He did say its for foot neuropathies and not for the back or neck but it could be possibly adapted. I am going to cancel my appointment with Dr. Rich as there really is not point for me to see him now that I know this.

I will keep you posted but he did say he had good results with foot burning and he is trying to get the word out on this as its still very new. He also mentioned that he trained someone on 59th and Broadway in NYC. I will try and get more info when I talk to him.
