Richmar is a major manufacturer of elec stim equipment used in PT

Departments.....in our PT/Sports Medicine Dept. at the Uni. of Oregon

we had 4 of these work horses for a professional staff of 6. They have

many different treatment options......and I think the last unit cost about

$3500, but maybe more.

For continued use if needed, you could be switched to a small portable

TENS unit as others have mentioned. TENS stands for transcutaneous

(through the skin) neural (nerve) stimulation...........thought you might

need another acronym for your glossary.

I am now retired to deal with new medical options as available.....but I

sometimes think I might work again in the future....and I would like to do

home health (working mostly with elderly in their homes). PT was definitely

a very satisfying profession.
