We appreciate when healthcare professionals seek Calmare Therapy, an FDA-cleared treatment to combat many types of neuropathic chronic pain. They have seen firsthand that opioids and invasive treatments may not provide the sustained pain relief they need to achieve a better quality of life.
Beth had managed to work as a nurse in Pennsylvania while silently battling RSD in her foot after a failed surgery. To combat the increasingly severe burning sensation she sustained, she had a spinal cord stimulator implanted, nerve block injections and was prescribed more pain medications than she was willing to take.
But the intensity of the pain only increased over time.
She and her husband discovered Dr. Cooney and his success using Calmare scrambler therapy to treat reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
By the time she arrived for treatment in New Jersey, her pain was a constant 10/10 and she was using a cane for support.
But we’ll let Beth share her story:

Hi Michelle, we do follow-up with patients to see how they are doing and, with their permission, publish updates. Also noteworthy, some patients with longer or more severe pain prior to treatment may require Calmare booster treatments. If all goes well, the need for boosters should also taper off (decrease) over time. Thanks for your comment. Wishing you a low pain day!

I would like to follow this and see if she actually becomes pain free and then if it lasts.
