Dr. Rhodes does. Not only can he test you for pain, but he can tell you through follow up testing if his treatments are reversing your nerve problem. This doctor is w-a-a-a-y ahead of his time. Or else everybody is way behind. Dr. Rhodes is one of those genius pioneers who is forging a trail for everybody else. One of these day he will be a household name.
I'm curious why he doesn't provide any scientific information about his machine/treatments on his website. There no clinical studies, peer reviewed articles, just patient testimonials. Looks like a big TENS unit to me but how would I know? There's very little information about the science behind this. After a very cursory google search on this doctor I found nothing more than a questionable website with minimal inspiration claiming a cure for RSD. I have doubts this is legitimate.

Rsdfree, with all due respect perhaps you could enlighten us all with more specifics details on how he reaches his diagnosis and claims of healing RSD.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but this type of claim just begs for more due diligence about this specific posting.
