The importance of recognizing alternative treatments for neuropathy
The majority of patients Dr. Cooney treats using scrambler therapy arrive at our clinic frustrated and exhausted by the endless search for pain relief.
Often, in desperation, they have already resorted to surgery, experimental procedures outside the U.S. or powerful pain medications which leave them mentally and physically diminished by side effects–but still living in pain.
Dr. Cooney specializes in helping the most severe cases of neuropathy
Dr. Cooney utilizes the MC-5A FDA-cleared device to treat chronic medical conditions, injuries and post-surgical pain. He is renowned for treating neuropathic conditions which are notoriously medication and treatment-resistant including:
- CRPS/ RSD
- Diabetic neuropathy (DPN)
- Sciatica and lumbar pain (back pain)
- Post-surgical pain
- Shingles (PHN)
- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)
Dr. Cooney is a widely published expert on several diverse issues related to chronic pain, chiropractic issues and diminishing pain as a result of injury or disease.
He is a featured columnist on SpineHealth.com.

I see that you have helped many and God bless you for this. I also see that ins not medicare does either which is very sad to me. Another thing is that you are is that you’re far away from ga….:-( I have suffered from degenerative disc disease (lumbar) L3-4-5-S1 for going on 16 yrs now. I have put off surgery because I am so very scared of getting rods and everything else in my back let alone all the cutting. And have been on pain management all these yrs as well. I’m 62 and I’m afraid they’re never going to come up with a surgery that will help me be pain free.. I’ve searched and searched and a friend is there now with her daughter that’s told me your helping her. I may never be out of pain but feel that if you are helping this young lady you must be as wonderful as she’s telling me.
God has given you a gift and all I can say is thank you for your great work.

Dear Anna,
Thank you very much for reaching out to us and we are sorry to hear of your long and frustrating battle with neuropathy. As you may have read, Calmare is not available yet in Australia. Thanks to some of your fellow Aussies sharing their positive outcomes after treatment here, many people in your country have discovered the scrambler.
I invite you to call us here at Calmare Therapy NJ at the phone number listed here on the website. We can talk in more detail about your back surgery and other medical conditions. I will be looking out for your call.
There are brighter days ahead Anna!
