$2500- $6000 is a lot of money for a non FDA approved procedure... but if it works... more power to you!

Did you every find anyone who actually used gyrostim positive or negative? I've read through this thread and don't see anyone. I did see a positive post of Carrick institute, but not specifically mentioning Gyrostim. It's pending FDA approval now, from what I've been told. There is one fairly close to me in Colorado which I'm about to go try.

Carrick is a primary promoter/user of gyrostim in their functional neurology protocols. I doubt it is going to get FDA approval. More likely, it will be labeled as FDA exempt by demonstrating that it does not cause harm. The clinical study required to get FDA approval as a medical device would cost millions. It will not be legal to promote it for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. It may be promoted to reduce the severity of dizziness symptoms related to concussion or something vague like that. It is based on a manual form of vestibular therapy that requires hundreds of patterned movements each day.

If I remember correctly, it was developed by an engineer in Colorado for use with his child who suffered severe cerebral palsy and some research organizations decided to see if it had value in clinical treatments. It has been used for Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy as a automatic version of other VRT protocols.
