It
was a pleasure talking with you yesterday. As I stated, I have been using the
microstimulator in my office since late January 2001. It has totally changed
my approach to treatment. I focus my practice on fibromyalgia and myofascial
pain syndromes, which naturally have been difficult to treat utilizing
standard therapy practiced in the U.S. I have been interested in the
electrical treatment of pain since my residency in the early 1970’s. The
results that I have been obtaining have been miraculous. One gentleman with
fibromyalgia, unable to work since 1997, has had a 30 to 35% decrease in pain
with one month of therapy, averaging 2 to 3 treatments per week. His activity
level has significantly improved. One lady, with severe fibromyalgia and
headaches, of one year duration has also been treated for one month,
averaging 2 treatments per week, now has controlled headache and her
fibromyalgia pain is reduced 40 to 50%. Her activity level is improved and
she is now seeking employment. I had another lady with post-traumatic left
gluteal pain of one year duration which significantly impaired walking. This
resolved after five treatments.
I had
one gentleman, involved in a car accident, with significant diffuse
myofascial strain and contusion of the left medial knee resulting in a marked
limp. I saw him one week post injury. His limp resolved after one treatment.
I treated him three times in as many days. Each time, his condition was
improved. He cancelled his follow-up appointment the following week, stating
that he was doing well. In fact, a friend, who is one of my patients, later
asked me if there had ever been anything wrong with him related to the
accident.
The
Alpha-Stim has forever changed my treatment approach. I have never before
experienced results like I have had in the past two months.
I am
so thankful that I can give hope to patients in pain.
Sincerely,
Marilynn
Lins, M.D.
