Advice & Tips
I usually get this treatment done at the chiropractor every 3-4 weeks, plus I have my own unit at home and use it a lot. My home unit was well worth the cost of being able to do this treatment yourself and when you need it. I bought my unit from Dr. Ho's website ($175 approx.) and it has lasted about 5 years, but I need a new one and see that he is no longer selling these units. If anyone has advice on a good, not too expensive unit, please email me.

Advice & Tips
Have a consult with a PT and have them show the appropriate way to place electrodes and how to use the different settings. Can be confusing at first and than as the person gets more familiar with where electrode placement gives the most pain control, it gets easier to place electrodes in the right place the first time.
