I would be interested to know anyone who has had this treatment or anyone who has thoughts on this subject

I was recently contacted by a rls clinic ( I won’t name the said doctor) but I have used his service in the past.

Basically he treats rls with a tens machine connected to parts of the legs and applies a voltage of pulses which claims to “ relieve rls. Because presumably COVID has affected attending the clinic in person it is now offers remote treatment. The cost is £85 per session not including the initial consultation which is extra or the cost of the tens machine or the pads .

Maybe some patients have benefited from the treatment others may have different thoughts I would love to hear

Yep had electric accupuncture and ancient chinese herbs...Result 600 dollars later the legs got worse...it did take care of pain I had in my foot...when I inquired into why I was seeing know reply the accupuncturist got mad...later read a research article that stated

The electricity makes it worse?? That is my experience...I have tried all kinds of alternative therapies...they charged more than my nuerologist.
