Sharing something I found for pain that works

I foundthis acupunture therapy machine and instead of using needles it uses electric pulses to help pain and trigger opints..My holistic doctor used it on me and I looked at the machine and found it online..i can feel my muscles relaxing at the places i use it...a few zaps and the muscle relaxes...144 bux tho!  worth it to me

Stimplus Pro is the name of it...found it for $144 and free shipping and i shopped around online

I looked up the Stimplus Pro and see looks like it might be something I need.  I have TJM also but not as severe as yours.  I have some back pain here lately that has been sending me to the chiropractor and now the massage therapist.  They do wonders but I could have bought this machine with the cost of my treatments.  My husband has pain starting at his heel, goes up almost to the calf (walks a lot) and we've tried massaging it, putting lotions...etc and nothing seems to give him the relief he needs.  I suppose this might help him.

Thanks for your info--I'll be sending him the website.

yes...it is sold to the public..it is more like a tens type thing to me..but u use it as needed instead of wearing the pads all day which ended up breaking my skin out...i defintely could feel the muscles relaxing with several jolts to the area...not painful...and no it will not cure ur pain..it only relieves the pain..acupuncture i have not tried due to cost..this machine is worth it cos it is a one time investment for me...when i hurt i use it on the trigger points...in a way keeping ur pain down can help reslove long term pain but probably not if u r already chronic..they say if u can break the pain cycle then ur body can heal....it is more of a treatment and not a cure..but at this point I will take anything...google stimpluspro

Thank you for the information. I did not know such a machine existed. Did acupuncture work for you? I did not work for me?

So if acupuncture doesn't work does that mean that the machine probably won't work either?  Or is it so different that the two do not correlate?  

Again thank you for the information. Take care, Tuck
