Never heard of it
Wonder if these are similar to a TENS Unit. I have used a TENS Unit to reduce leg muscle pain successfully numerous times. TENS Units start at about $25.00 and can go to over $800.00 (although these units are no better then those at under $100.00).
Look into M.E.L.T. technique. Portable and effective.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS. For pain, there are several companies that manufacture the spinal cord stimulator for reducing pain, usually nerve pain. You get a week trial with the stimulator implanted in your back, a small surgery, then if you get relief, you can have it implanted permanently. You can control the stimulation from a remote.
THanks for this info, Pop
