@deanthedeam - I live in NYC and was delighted to find a clinic in Clifton, N.J. that does the technique.....It's 10 sessions, each one lasting about 30 minutes. Absolutely no pain....Pads are attached to area of pain which leads to a small unit that sends a current to the brain to "Scrambler" the pain messages. No side effects whatsoever that I am aware of. Dr. Cooney suggested I might feel a bit tired and to just take it easy.....The results were immediate for me until the fifth session...That night I had some pain but then after continuing with session, I've been pretty good....I'm happy if I can get three months pain free...between the two therapies I've gone thru, I think my brain is pretty much fried at this point....and throw in two concussions as well!!!!! What are you doing for your situation?????
