7t (jreat Success Story
I've spent a long time searching for a piece of equipment that can
offer my patients immediate pain relief, especially those who suffer of
chronic neck and hack pain. I attended seminar after seminar, adding
to my skills, but found no solution, until August of last year.
The Canadian instructor introduced me to a small device called the
electrical point stimulator. He invited one attendee after another
to experience the therapy. Some of those who went forward were
physicians, others were therapist*. All were complaining of chronic
shoulder stiffness, neck or back pain. The outcome was immediate
and astonishing.
All of the seminar students were standing in shock, staring w ith wide
open eyes, all asking, “'What is this?” It was as if the instructor was
a magician, healing with his magic wand. An anesthesiologist was
relieved of pain when his frozen shoulder was unwound and the stress
released immediately. Therapists with chronic neck, back and hand
pain were relieved.
I went back home with my new “magical” electrical point stimula
tors to find my daughter lying down in tears. “My back is hurting
me." she said. “Don't worry.” I replied. I used the techniques I had
just learned on her. The pain was instantly relieved and my daughter
was able to stand and walk. She said with a big smile, “Now I can go
back and complete my shopping." For more than a week my daugh
ter thanked me every time we met at the dinner table, and she kept
emphasizing how much better her hack was and how good it felt to be
awake and moving about w itliout hack pain. She has also returned to
wearing her high heeled shoes without any trouble.
The next morning I took the machine with me to my office. Mr.
Collins, one of my patients, mentioned his w ife's shoulder stiffness.
Traditional medical and traditional physical therapy procedures had
been ineffective in treating the pain. I asked hint “Where is your wife
now?” I called her and asked her permission to try my new machine.
After two minutes. 50% of her shoulder movement was returned, just
like that! “What is that?” she asked in wonder. The next day Mrs.
Collins came to my office for a followup session.
That same day. I had a new admission with back and radiating pain to
the left leg. Mr. Causey came into my office using a walker. After us
ing the stimulator on him he told me that he was no longer experienc
ing severe pain: that Krt% of his pain was gone. He was excited that he
did not have to use his walker anymore.
The next day, Mrs. Edge, a lady with rheumatoid arthritis, showed
me her stiff, hot and painful finger. I calmed her down and told her
confidently that I could take care of it in a second. And I did! Pain
was gone immediately and by night the redness and joint swelling were
gone as well.

Even with the help of this wonderful machine, I still do not believe that
we have the answer to every problem. Nor can I claim that everyone
who undergoes treatment will improve. But I can definitely say that
my job is now so much more successful, easier and fun. Now I can
comfortably say that for the first time in twenty-six years of practice, I
can deliver instant relief to the majority of my patients.
Our course instructor told us, “The electrical point stimulator and the
techniques you learn will change the way you practice forever.” He
was right! I keep the machine with me everywhere I go.
