Relief from:
Back
Pain, Sciatica, Failed Back
Surgery, Spinal Stenosis,
Fibromyalgia, Diabetic
Neuropathy, Migraine, Neck Pain,
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,
Shoulder Pain, Knee Pain and
other acute & chronic painful
conditions.
Long-Term Advantages:
• Dramatic savings in both
treatment and
subsequent lifelong
medication costs.
• Potential for returning to
the work force.
• Reducing or eliminating
the need for addictive
narcotic medications.
• Allowing you to perform
activities of daily
living with minimal
pain.
• Restoring your sense of
self-worth and
self-esteem by reducing
your pain and
enhancing your quality
of life.
Conditions benefiting from Treatments:
• Acute and chonic pain
conditions.
• Management and symptomatic
relief of
chronic INTRACTABLE
pain.
• Post-traumatic pain
syndromes.
• Post-surgical pain
conditions.
• Relaxation of muscle
spasm.
• Neuromuscular
re-education, and
rehabilitation
of weakened muscles.
• Prevention of disuse
muscle atrophy as a result
of long-term bed
confinement.
• Increasing local
circulation, and
accelerating the
rate of healing.
Pain Treatment:
Pain, although an essential
sensory function that
protects the body, all too
often persists as a symptom
of an underlying
uncorrectable disease
process, and becomes a
disease in its own right.
When the “cause” of the
pain cannot be treated, the
means to obtain pain relief
have traditionally been
limited to addictive
narcotic (pain) medications,
destructive operative
procedures, and indirect
modalities such as physical
therapy.
These techniques have
serious limitations, and
complications arising from
them frequently aggravates
the original condition
causing the pain.
Progress has been made in
the development of novel and
effective alternatives in pain
treatment. One of the major
advances and the major areas of
interest in this field has been
the use of electrotherapy to
produce Electric Nerve Blocks (ENBs)
for pain control.
Nerve blocks traditionally
arise from procedures where an
anesthetic agent is introduced,
or injected, to interrupt nerve
impulses. Complications arising
from such invasive procedures
are sometimes disabling and
avoidable by introducing the
nerve block by using very small
electrical impulses applied to
the skin.
What to Expect:
Without piercing the skin,
physicians can now administer
effective nerve pain treatments
to reduce the hyper-irritated
state of nerves causing painful
conditions. Comfortable
electrodes on the skin
introduce very specific
bioelectric signal impulses to
produce an electroanalgesic
nerve blocking effect. The
electrical current generated
during those treatments reduces
the ability of nerves to
generate pain signals to the
brain, and at the same time,
promotes healing of the
irritated nerve cells by
preventing them from “firing.”
Extensive research on this
method of treatment has made the
following conclusions:
• Overall, for any single
treatment, 80% of patients
achieve at least 25%
improvement.
• Only a few patients get
complete permanent relief in one
treatment.
• Overall, half of the patients
treated reported a decrease in
“pain” and improved function
over the course of 5-15
treatments.
• The average duration of relief
is 1-3 days. Some experience
only a few hours of relief while
others are essentially “cured”. Recurrence depends on
actual pathology, patient
activity and other treatments
being used along with it.
• Because of the low-risk
profile, these electronic nerve
blocks can
and should be used for
maintenance care.
• Trauma from surgery or from
needles used in chemical nerve
blocks
and the caustic effects of
those chemicals cause scar
tissue
accumulation.
How does it differ from TENS
treatments?
SLV electroanesthesia is
much more potent than TENS in
its ability to reduce or
eliminate acute or chronic
intractable pain conditions. The
old standard TENS technology
employs a constant low frequency
(less than 4000 cycles per
second) stimulation where the
patient controls the intensity
of the treatment.
It is now recognized that a
pitfall of this constant
frequency stimulation is that,
over time, the nervous system
accommodates or “learns” not to
pay attention to it. This
essentially limits its use as a
nerve blocking modality. It
remains useful nonetheless as a
treatment of muscle spasms.
Here’s what a few of our
patients had to say:
It took all of the pain out of
my shoulder that was bothering
me for months since my accident.
C.S.
The sharp shooting pain down my
right leg is almost gone after
one treatment. M.G.
My neck pain and headache are so
much better and I didn’t have to
take any pain pills or muscle
relaxors. E.W.
The severe spasms in my back
went away after two weeks of
treatment. P.W.
The burning and numbness in my
feet from my neuropathy has
significantly reduced. H.G.
I can sleep at night without
pain and numbness in my hands
and wrists. C.M.
My arthritic knees have stopped
hurting and I can walk without
pain. L.S.
