Re: Leg pain relief - NO CHANGE - unless spine is aligned

[Guest guest]

Had given up on relief between adjustments for residual tissue

stretching; etc.

Spent about 4 hrs as below, pads on butt cheeks w spine between, had

nearly all the pain go away [sat.]; put pads on each leg inside at

ankles, ran at ATP current = 400 uA most of Sunday, noticable

improvement this A.M.

Chiropractor treatment today [4 loc'ns], back to stiff / tender.

Flaked out on recliner most of the afternoon, more ATP this

P.M.

Hi, Joe, sorry to hear abt the pain.

In the past I got some injury went to chiro, adjustments helped

awhile by looseing things around injured area, but came back. he gave

me exercises to do. Nothing worked, got worse. Finally I put a

strong wide belt around the hips and lower back and rested it

imobilized. After a week it had healed.

Also, the magnetic pulser worked for pinched nerves in my hands.

Wish I had it when my arm went numb. The only thing that worked was

an ice bag, huge one under the arm alternating cold with normal body

temp. It did work but I carried the ice around all day!

best regards,

bob

sotainstruments.com makes and sells them. they cannot give you

medical or instructional information.

in my use I found it helpful for my nerve pain concerns, and at that

it was super. i also used it on a muscle tear but it did nothing for

that. you have to have a specific thing like a pinched nerve and it

might help you there. i think it forces fluids out of swollen nerve

sheath? who knows, it may not work at all. and it costs a few

hundred dollars, like 300- or so. worth it if it works, who knows...

Thx. Was offered a back support, looked like a Harley belt [keeps

kidneys in place] when they have no rear wheel movement [shocks].

Other was cold packs as needed; they helped some, didn't get the

belt - short cash.
