Need an alternative to pads? Here is my story. See if it sounds familiar. I pee on myself just walking to the corner. Going to work is a nightmare. I wear these thick, sweaty male pads, which are uncomfortable and not made for everyday use. When I go to the pharmacy, I see rows and rows of female pads and just one for male use. I certainly cannot go to the gym or hiking, and I am getting pretty depressed. After a couple of months of complaining one of the doctors said, "Here, try these and let me know what you think." I am writing to tell you these things were like a new lease on life. Now I go to the gym or walk or work without the bulky and uncomfortable pad. Yeah!!! They are comfortable, portable, easy to use, and unnoticeable. ActiCuf is so much better than those pads. I wish all the best for you on your journey. Remember, it is not what happens to us but how we handle it that makes the difference.

Male Urinary Incontinence Patient re the ActiCuf Penile Clamp and Pouch

My wife has suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia for over 20 years and we have tried basically everything on the market, i.e. medicine prescribed by doctors, i.e. tablets, ointment, gel, you name it but no pain relief. She also went for x-rays at a dentist who pull some of her teeth because he believed that it was the teeth that caused the pain. Again no pain relief. She also tried zelitrex for shingles because the doctor believed it was the underlying cause. One doctor also referred her for a brain scan while another prescribed drops for her ears because it was a transferable disease in the family. As you can see everything on the market to relieve the pain. Nothing worked until we came across and tried the NanoVibronix PainShield. At first the tenderness increased but we persisted, and after 14 days we noticed some improvement, the pain was reduced and within 8 weeks the pain completely disappeared. We couldn't be happier with the results. We still continue with the treatment a full 6.5 hrs every alternate night and will do so for the next 4 weeks. We will then gradually step down on the treatment until we have completely stopped with the therapy. Will give feedback once we reach that stage and discover what is happening with her and the trigeminal neuralgia. It will help other patients that are in pain but aren't sure if it can help them... Some have suffered for years but are tired of things not working. Maybe the PainShield will work for them too as it does in at least 73% of the cases. My wife is an example of total relief for the last three weeks now.

Husband of Long Term Trigeminal Neuralgia Patient re the PainShield

My father has been using the UroShield for nearly two years, and since using it, the number of UTI’s have decreased by roughly half. It simply clips onto the catheter and remains there. This means that care home staff only need to charge the UroShield and not engage in any complex tasks. The way the UroShield prevent infections is non-invasive and avoids the need to take regular antibiotics. In my father’s case the product is inserted into a padded camera bag and then clipped onto his wheelchair, the camera bag protecting it from knocks and drops. The support from NanoVibronix is excellent and they are always fast to react to any technical questions or request for supplies. This type of support is always important especially for those who rely have additional medical care needs.

I am writing to describe my personal experience with your Vertetrac product. I began to experience acute sciatica and nearly-paralyzing low-back spasms around 1985. Since that time I have worked or consulted with 9 chiropractors, 4 orthopedic doctors, and 3 orthopedic surgeons. Throughout I was determined to learn to manage the weakness and to avoid surgery. In an ongoing effort to take the pressure off my herniated L5 disk, I have tried traction tables, tilt (gravity) tables, aggressive physical therapy, manual traction, leg-pulling, hip blocking, and Cox tables. None of these made any significant difference beyond a few hours of temporary relief. Around 1995, Dr. Weinstein recommended that I try the Vertetrac device in conjunction with rehabilitation exercises on machines that strengthen and balance the musculature of the torso. The Vertetrac device seemed counterintuitive to me because it appeared to me (an engineer) that more weight was being applied than was being released. So it was with genuine astonishment when I found that the device produced profound and extended relief after just one 15-minute session. After half a dozen Vertetrac sessions, accompanied by the rehab program, I was virtually pain free and my back was quite stable. On the few occasions since that time when I’ve re-injured the area, the same protocol gives me relief and facilitates rapid healing -- within two weeks rather than four to six months with the older treatments. I have been surprised at how few chiropractors are aware of your product. A lot of people could avoid back surgery with this device -- because they can find relief under their own power within two weeks and do not have to pin their hopes on the surgeon.

Peter Dennings, Virginia, USA re the Vertetrac

I want to thank you so much for the Vertetrac you sent me. It is such a miracle invention for Scoliosis sufferers, it is God-send, I walk better, have much less pain now and I can enjoy life a little more now... I feel my back (spine) is straighter and definitely has less pressure with the brace use.

Doreen Chesanek, Connecticut, USA re the DBS Scoliosis Rail and Vertetrac

I have Multiple Sclerosis for more than 20 years and in last four years I started suffering from a severe facial pain that was diagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgia. The TN pain was the worst symptom of my MS. I have tried many medications such as Tegretol, Gabapentine, Amitriptilyn, and Lyrica, all drugs had very little effect but none was helpful for substantial relief the pain and I experienced very bad side effects. My husband found the Nanovibronix's PainShield on the internet that claimed to help relief the pain, but I was skeptical and didn't believe it. As my pains further increased, I decided to buy the PainShield, mainly relying on the option for 30 day return policy. After using the PainShield for 3 nights, I felt there is no pain in my face and I started to gradually decrease my medications. After 5 days I stopped using all the medications and even reduced the PainShield treatment frequency to a couple of nights per week. Although the pain completely vanished, I was still sensitive maybe because of my fear. After 20 days I am completely pain-free like never before. Thank you NanoVibronix, it is the miracle that I saw with my own eyes.

Patient with Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neuralgia re PainShield Treatment

I would like to tell you what my husband has gone through with his Trigeminal Neuralgia (tic douloureux) and how your product has helped. He started to have a pain over his right eye about 15 years ago. We do not have an incident that started the Trigeminal Neuralgia but years before he had had a couple accidents that included head trauma. This pain would be triggered by several things including touching certain spots on his nose and chewing. Another trigger would be bright sun light which is hard to avoid in the Arizona desert and wearing a hat would hit another trigger point. He visited a dentist, who said the x-ray showed that he might have a cracked tooth. He was in so much pain, he told the dentist to take it out. After the extraction, they discovered there was nothing wrong with the tooth and after the novocaine wore off, the pain was back as bad as ever. He tried many pain medications but from most he would have bad reactions. He had limited success with neurontin and lyrica but they mostly put him to sleep but he was still in pain displayed his gritting his teeth and moaned in his sleep. At the most he would sleep one and a half to two hours. During this time he tried several therapies including a tens unit, acupuncture and chiropractic care. Each therapy might help for a few hours or days but nothing significant. Our chiropractor helped the most with adjustments to the neck and jaw but it was very short lived. He eventually was sent to a neurologist who did a gamma knife surgery (radiation) which he told us was over 95% effective with over 75% cure rate. He led us to believe it would be instantaneous..... but it was actually worse for at least a month before it slowly eased up to the point he could live with the pain(after about 6 months). We had a "honeymoon period" for about 3 years when he would only have pains when a storm was brewing. The last 5 or 6 years, he has progressively gotten worse. He learned that cold makes it worse, and heat helps to some extent. He only drinks hot tea and eats a lot of soup . His jaw would lock to he couldn't open his mouth very far so it was hard to talk or eat. Some nights he would take 3 or 4 hot showers to ease the pain but he still would only sleep an hour or 2 at a time. I have done repeated internet searches over the years, but when I found NanoVibronix website and PainShield information, he was a little hesitant because of the price and the fact it was not conventional medicine. He was in the middle of seeing 2 new neurologists who wanted to do the gamma knife again with a 50% chance of some improvement (never used the word "cure"). About the same time, we heard about my husband's cousin who had had the gamma knife 3 times and then had the surgery where they put teflon pads between the nerves and veins. She almost died from complications after the surgery. Last we heard, she is still in pain with hopes that it will be better soon. That spurred my husband to consent to try the PainShield device. I ordered the device and within a week we had the box. He tried it the first night before going to bed. He said "I don't think this is going to work as I can't feel anything." He slept almost 4 hours that night. He has changed from being a doubtful Thomas to a person who will not go to bed without it. I cannot call this a "cure" but he gets 7 - 8 hours sleep each night, which makes it easier to deal with life during the day. He still knows when a storm is coming but his jaw rarely locks now and he hasn't used his pain meds since he started using the PainShield. For anyone considering this device, I know it is a leap of faith and fairly expensive but it has worked for us and a lot less invasive that either type of surgery. Thank you again for the PainShield. It has been a blessing.

No need for pain meds for TN Patient using the PainShield

I am honored to contribute my experience with the PainShield to what others have documented in getting Trigeminal Neuralgia pain relief. I suffered from pain due to Trigeminal Neuralgia on a daily basis. I would get a searing pain, three or four times an hour. The pain caused my life to stop for thirty seconds, each episode, while I just stayed as still as I could and endured the pain. If I were with friends and family, they would be astonished just observing my suffering. I would call these episodes "zaps" because they reminded me of something awful like getting an electric shock! Nothing to do but stay still and suffer. Even bedtime was a dread because just the thought of shifting from one's left side to one's right side meant also bracing myself for a possible TN zap! That was always a gamble! What a life? When getting rest is an ordeal.....then things are really bad! What was I to do? Nothing helped. A few doctors I visited offered me drug therapy or surgery, I checked the Internet to find out more about Trigeminal Neuralgia and learned that acupuncture had brought relief to some people suffering with this pain. I spent several months and about $1000 on acupuncture with no success. I dreaded the possibility of an operation which held promise of relief from the pain, but also warnings about side effects such as one side of the face might sag as a result of the operation. That did not sound like a good trade-off for pain. Then I found Pain Shield! I ordered the PainShield, hoping to avoid surgery. I used the Pain Shield for about a month......every night....giving it time to recharge by day. I can tell you that it proved to be a brilliant effective device. Totally painless and easy to use. It worked for me. The days needed to use it may vary.....but it ultimately works! That's my bottom line! My Trigeminal Neuralgia pain is gone 100% . No surgery, no pain killers. Just brilliant use of the human ingenuity and mind. It is an incredible invention, and I am glad I lived in this time of fine science and medical exploration The TN pain, for me, is now history. It has been gone for eight months! My compliments to the scientists with the fine minds that brought this product to patients, like me, suffering with pain. And I also extend my appreciation to the folks that made this device available worldwide.

TN Patient now 100% Pain Free with the PainShield

About 8 years ago, I was diagnosed as suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia. None of the medicines prescribed by my Physician and the Specialist helped me, because I was found either allergic to some or had adverse side-effects from the others. My life had become a torture because of constant pain I felt all the time. In desperation, I searched on the Internet for something that could give me some relief without causing any side-effects. I came across PainShield®. I decided to give it a go. I have been using PainShield® for almost six and a half hours every day since January, 2013. Initially, it did not seem to help. But as I had no other option, I persisted with its use. After a few months, I started having a few short pain-free periods every now and then. This gave me hope, and encouraged me to continue using it. For the last four weeks, my pain has completely subsided, and let me mention that I have not used the PainShield® during these four weeks. I am back to normal life, in which I am, after eight years of torture and suffering, again enjoying eating, talking, singing, etc. From now on, I shall be using the PainShield® once a week as safe-guard against the return of pain. My attitude, as always, is positive and I am hoping for the best. I would be unfair if I do not thank the company representative profusely for his guidance at every step I needed it, and his encouragement in my desperate hours.

Long Term Trigeminal Neuralgia Patient re the PainShield

My father has had Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) for a few years now, and the pain is getting worse with time. His Doctor subscribed him special pain killers which has serious side effects. He cannot do anything at all as the pain appears unexpectedly. He cannot eat, talk and sleep and always loses his temper. His doctor suggest surgery on the face by cutting one nerve line but this means losing the facial feeling and no guarantee that the pain won’t come back. I Googled TN, PainShield came up, as this is a new thing, I did some research on the net. We decided to let my father try it before the surgery. The doctor in Hong Kong did not know about the PainShield but agreed to support my father and give it a try while using the pain killers. After the 1-2 weeks of PainShield therapy, not much has changed. However, started from 3 weeks, my father could eat and talk for a longer time. After 4 weeks, the doctor started reducing the pain killers' dosage. His condition is getting better and better. Finally after 8 week, he stopped the pain killers and is using the PainShield 1-2 times every week. The PainShield really helped me and my family as my father is getting back to normal life. PainShield is an amazing invention.

Son of Trigeminal Neuralgia Patient re the PainShield

Since 1995 I am suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia as a complication from my Multiple Sclerosis. At first the pain was pretty much constant with only short pain free periods. During the years, the pain level and duration kept on increasing till it became intolerable and painkiller medications didn't help anymore. In 1999 I had a "blockade surgery", which was repeated 4 months later and again went through a big neurosurgical intervention in 2001. Since then the Trigeminal Neuralgia had been more or less under control, with the exception of a yearly setback during springtime. However, in March 2009, the pain returned and remained constant. I was treated with morpheme injections and the doctors wanted to hospitalize me, again. I had no life; my feeling was that all roads were closed: I could not speak, could not go out, and could not relax. I was just sitting in my wheelchair screaming. I felt getting drugged down by all the medications and injections and saw no end to it. In just about then, I came in contact with Dr. Haim Adahan that following telemedicine consultation, he introduced me with the PainShield. I use PainShield every night for 8 hours while I'm sleeping. The patch is plastered to the right side of my forehead and secured with a bandage around the scull. I don't have any feeling of the ultrasound functioning of the instrument, just the positive effects afterwards. Since starting using the instrument, the pain levels have gradually diminished, by jumping down in steps both in intensity and in duration of the pain. I gradually stopped using the morphine injections. Today, about 5 weeks since I started using PainShield, I can say that I am as good as pain free.

Multiple Sclerosis

I want to shout from the rooftops to everyone who has suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia about the PainShield®. I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia--a sharp, shooting electrical pain on the side of my face. The pain felt similar to being tortured alternatively with an electric wire and cut with a sharp knife. I was put on anti seizure medication--but as is typical of the condition I didn't get much relief and continued to have excruciating and seriously debilitating pain. Thankfully, I learned about the PainShield® online and contacted Dr. Adahan who had a series of teleconsults with me and determined that I would be a good candidate for the PainShield. Since my very FIRST use with the device, both the intensity and frequency of my pain declined dramatically! I was stunned by the device efficacy! I cannot begin to tell fellow-sufferers what a blessing this has been. I cannot recommend it enough!

Trigeminal Neuralgia patient cannot recommend PainShield enough!

In 1995 I started suffering from intense facial pain that was diagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgia. I was treated for 13 years with various pain medications that helped me cope with the pain. In June 2008, I experienced a severe worsening of my symptoms requiring facial steroid injections at the Tel Hashomer pain clinic. A year later, I experienced a reoccurrence of the extreme facial pains and this time was referred to Dr. Adahan at pain rehabilitation clinic at Tel Hashomer. Dr. Adahan introduced me to the PainShield device and I started with local ultrasound treatment eight hours every night. After four nights I already experienced significant reduction in the volume of pain. Ongoing treatment provided additional relief in the intensity of my pains along with reduction in the number of pain attacks per day to a minimal occurrences without any side effects. Using PainShield saved me from intolerable pain and regained my quality of life. I still use it every night and I am very, very thankful for this incredible innovation.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Patient re the PainShield

I like sports and I'm traveling a lot. Recently I had reoccurring pain in my shoulder. My physician said it is due to calcification process at the joint. It caused an inflammatory response and I had to take antibiotics and pain killers. During a recent trip I fell on the shoulder and the pain just increased from that point in time. I was limited in my daily activity; I couldn’t sleep well, I had difficulties in using my arm, and when I spoke to people with similar trauma I understood that the recovery may take a couple of months. I was referred to physiotherapy however I was told that the first treatment will be in 6 weeks due to a long queue. I talked with the physician and we decided to try the PainShield. Within 2 days I felt a relief in my pain and it is getting better with each day. I wear it under my shirt and activate it whenever I need or when I have the time. It might be funny but I think that I'll be free of pain until my scheduled physiotherapy session.

Chronic Shoulder Pain Patient re the PainShield

I underwent open heart surgery a few months ago. When I woke up I immediately felt extreme pain from the sternum area. I knew that this is part of the post-surgical symptoms, but I could barely stand the pain and the medications I took helped only partially. I was offered the use of the PainShield in order to reduce the pain. I started using the device 6 days after the surgery. I used it for 30min approx. 6 times a day (a total of 3 hours per day). After 24h I noticed that the level of pain was significantly lower than I had during the previous days. I kept using it for 4-5 weeks and it helped to reduce most of the pain during the daily use. However I still had pain during the evenings and the nights when I was not able to use the device. After consulting with my physician, we decided to replace the treatment with night therapy. So I started using the PainShield® overnight (8 hours treatment session while sleeping). From that point on, I was almost pain free and I feel it helped me to recover faster. I stopped treatment with PainShield after 8-9 weeks as the pain disappeared. The PainShield helped “save me” from pain and agony following the surgery. The surgery I had is a painful operation and the chest pain during recovery is an additional burden for the patient. Fortunately, I escaped most of this thanks to the PainShield treatment

Post Surgical Pain Patient re the PainShield

A year and a half ago I suffered from pain in the elbow area in both arms. I was diagnosed to have Tennis Elbow Syndrome. With time the pain increased and become unbearable, it limited my daily activities and I wasn't able to drive, perform home tasks, carry a purse and even write. Of course I stopped playing the piano which was a major part of my life. Conventional treatments such as medications and physiotherapy did not help and I refused getting steroid shots or consider surgery. My quality of life decrease significantly, I suffered at work and in the many other areas I was active at and become dependent on others. Coincidently, I approached Dr. Adahan who started that time evaluating the PainShield device. I started using this new portable ultrasound and after couple of weeks I started feeling some relief. Important to mention that I started with level 10 on the VAS pain scale and within a few months I reached level 0 in VAS scale which allowed me to return to full activity including playing the piano. I thank you all for that.

Pianist Suffering from Tennis Elbow re the PainShield

I have experience using the PainShield device in many patients with difficult pain conditions during the past year. This device has impressed me with the consistency with which it affords significant relief to patients with difficult pain conditions from a large variety of pathologies. We have helped young athletes with painful tendon injuries and elderly patients with painful vascular wounds as well as soldiers with severe nerve injuries. The PainShield device reflects the basic science literature on Low Intensity / Low Frequency Ultrasound by its ability to not just treat pain, but also to help heal the underlying injured tissue. The device has shown itself to be well tolerated and easy to use. Most of my patients choose to wear the device overnight and receive treatment while sleeping. 73% of the subjects experienced complete or near complete pain relief. In nearly all cases, there was a delay of 1-2 weeks before the onset of relief followed by a gradual improvement, in pain relief, over the following 2-6 weeks.

Dr. Haim Moshe Adahan, Director, Pain Rehabilitation Center re the PainShield

My experience with PainShield® has shown that it is highly effective in treating painful foot disorders including heel spur syndrome, tendon disease and wound pain. I am currently performing a clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of PainShield® on patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers and initial results are very promising. The PainShield® device addresses many of the shortcomings of traditional therapeutic ultrasound and various other therapeutic modalities.

Dr. Jonathan Rosenblum, Director, Diabetic Foot Service re the PainShield

As the Head Physiotherapist of one of the top basketball teams in Israel, I'm always looking for new technologies that may help our professional athletes following injuries. When I was introduced to the PainShield® device I had a couple of players with Achilles Tendonitis. One had a chronic injury that did not respond to conservative treatments and limited his daily activity, while the other had an acute injury following practice, a day before the game. Both players were treated with the PainShield® device during their overnight sleep. Both reported a dramatic reduction in their pain. The player with the acute injury was able to play the day after the treatment and he continued the treatment for an additional week. The player with the chronic injury reported a significant reduction in his pain level after 4 days of treatment and after 3 weeks he was free of pain. This was amazing!!! I have served as a physiotherapist for years and I deal a lot with professional athletes with similar injuries. It is the first time, that I observed such a dramatic improvement in a tendon injury and a reduction in pain, following a treatment with a specific modality. It is very effective, simple to use and the option of getting treatment during sleep makes it very popular in our team.

Hanania Sharon, Director of Physiotherapy Services re the PainShield

You've got an amazing device there. Now that I know what the pain symptoms are (I first got trigem [trigeminal neuralgia] several years ago when I first discovered your device, I had suffered a lot before using your device and other techniques to eliminate the pain). This time I'm hoping there should be much less pain because I now know what the signs are and have started using your device and the other techniques I devised to stop the pain earlier on in its eruption.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Patient Testimonial for the PainShield

For all the years that I have been using multiple Vertetrac units for the successful treatment of lumbar disc lesions, IVF stenosis, etc., I kept asking myself when someone was going to design a similar unit for the cervical spine. I would like to thank Meditrac for having the vision to do so in its manufacture of the Cervico 2000. I have used several different types of cervical traction units over the years with sub optimal results. With the Cervico, I am able to impart sufficient, constant distractive forces to the patient with minimal discomfort to them. The constant high load distractive forces allow for an improved ability of the body to heal the soft tissue components of the lesions. The individual traction rods allow different levels of distraction to be performed on the right and left at the same time, this is especially helpful with cases of torticollis. Thank you again for this fine product.

Dr. Gregory J. Gingell, Gingell Chiropractic Center re the Cervico 2000

I am using extensively both units Vertetrac and the Cervico 2000. My patients are doing well using them in the course of their treatment. As for the Cervico 2000 unit I use it myself and I have patients on it, too. I must say I have remarkable results, and the patients notice the difference, as well

Kevin J. Rodrigues, DC re the Vertetrac

I have tried several different Cervical Traction devices in over my 19 years in practice. I have even developed my own. The problem with mine and so many others, they apply a force on the temporal mandibular joint. This makes the patients uncomfortable. I received my Cervico 2000 soon after you introduced the unit and have not had one complaint. It works great on our acute, as well as chronic patients, without any force on the TMJ. Mr. Snow came in after his 5 year old work injury was getting to the point where he was going to have to retire. The prescription pain pills, muscle relaxants, and daily home traction no longer helping. He was now having Radiculopathy in the right arm into the hand. After 10-15 treatments with adjustments and your traction device, he was not only feeling better, he was off the medications. He commented that using the Cervico 2000 for 10 minutes 3 times a week was far better than daily home traction for a half hour of more. I would recommend your units to anyone. They will improve the outcome in their practice. I also want to thank your fine company for standing behind your products, and providing excellent customer service. I will be purchasing more Cervico 2000's. I see patients buying your product for home use and adding more units to our treatment area.

Dr. Leonard A. Valentine DC , Valentine Chiropractic Healthcare re the Cervico 2000

I live near San Antonio, Texas I have been using the Cervico for several years and cannot walk for exercise without wearing it. I was in a car that went upside down 18 years ago. The car was partially crushed and severely injured my neck and head. Since that time, I have never been able to walk very far until I got the Cervico. It certainly changed my life. I wear it every time I get in a vehicle because the movement of riding in a car hurts my neck very much. I have 2 herniated discs in my neck. My doctor believes that the tendons of the muscles that hold my head up are torn from where they attach to the skull. Without the Cervico, I would never walk more than two or three minutes and go months without ever leaving my house because of the vibration of riding in a car hurt so much. Thank you for the Cervico! I would like to find a doctor to see if my daughter could benefit from the Vertetrac. Thank you.

Shelley Steigerwald re Cervico 2000

I recently injured my neck and was in excruciating pain. The pain was so great that I had an MRI and met with an orthopedic surgeon. I delayed the surgery in the hope that it would not be necessary. I went to a Chiropractor who treated me and lent me the Cervico 2000. The device is nothing short of remarkable. I have been using it twice daily and have been extremely satisfied with the product. The Cervico 2000 literally obviated the need major surgery. I have tried other products with no success and highly recommend this device.

David S. Gorbach re the Cervico 2000

I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Grober, who saved me from an operation on my spinal cord. I arrived at the ER with a disc hernia, in terrible pain and shortly after the first check was almost persuaded to undergo surgery. The doctors insisted that surgery was the only option because the chances for recovery were negligible. I was hesitant since I heard about the possible complications of the surgery and also the high changes of a second episode. I was terrified and looking for any alternative. Fortunately, I heard from a friend that there is an effective treatment that helped some patients with problems like mine to avoid surgery and recover from spine injuries. When I first arrived to Dr. Grober's clinic two weeks after hospitalization, I was unable to walk straight and needed help to support my body weight. The pain was almost unbearable. At the beginning of the treatment I was only capable of making several steps with Dr. Grober's device; however, after several weeks I was able to walk with no support, move around and fully take care of myself. Today, a year after the hospitalization, my back is in much better condition and I am working, walking for long distances, and able to perform any everyday task. Needless to say, I'm very happy to avoid surgery and feel very grateful to Dr. Grober.

Oren Yehezkel re the Vertetrac

I’d like to say that I am having very good results with the Cervico and Vertetrac here in Brazil… The results of my treatment are excellent. Thank you very much

Reneta Fidalgo re the Cervico 2000 and Vertetrac

While in the hospital, as I was considering the recommendation of the surgeon, a chiropractic doctor and friend, who had a good knowledge of my history, and an excellent knowledge of when surgery is necessary, told me about the Vertetrac and the good results he was having with his patients using it. I truly had a dilemma. On the one hand, a highly respected surgeon was saying surgery was imperative; on the other, a well-respected and successful chiropractor was advising me to use the Vertetrac to heal the damaged segments in my spine. I ordered a Vertetrac and began using it daily for a month. The very first time I wore the Vertetrac, I noticed that I could stand up without pain. This, in itself, was a very positive result, suggesting that the nerve irritation was greatly reduced and that structural integrity was being supported. I began walking a half hour per day, every day for a month. After one month I was healed. I would not call this healing a miracle, but just sound anatomy, physiology, and physical therapy.

Nathaniel S. Wirt, PhD, DC re the Vertetrac

I use Vertetrac and Cervico 2000 devices since May 2010 and I want to express my congratulations and thanks to Meditrac for these amazing effective treatment options. I use it every day at least for 15 patients daily and results are really good. I had many patients that I saved them from surgery. At the beginning of treatment the most important is that patients believe and to understand what kind of treatment is it.

Haris Begovic re the Vertetrac and Cervico 2000

These devices have truly been amazing for the patients with outstanding clinical outcomes. I think I purchased them both around 15 years ago. As a result, we have likely avoided hundreds of spinal surgeries.

Dr. Andrew P. Hatch, DC, MBA, PhDc re the Vertetrac and the Cervico 2000

One of my better cases was a 54 year old female with disc bulges at L3 4 5 on the left side she had severe pain, left sided foot drop, weakness and atrophy of the left quad, at first she could not tolerate the Vertetrac for more than a few minutes but after a few days the only complete relief she had was when she was wearing the Vertetrac, she had been scheduled for surgery but within three weeks her pain had reduced by 80% she was able to cancel the surgery and within another month was totally pain free and remains so to this day, this was one of many successes I have had over the years with the Vertetrac and this case happened in the 1996, every now and then I still see this patient but never for the same type of symptoms as described above.

Dr. Douglas Stam - re the Vertetrac -

I have been a licensed massage therapist (specializing in deep tissue) for the past 23 years. I LOVE my job because I love helping people. I was told that most massage therapists last for about 15 years as they develop problems with their own backs and move on to other careers, so, at 23 years, I'm quite overdue! "They" were right as I have developed a severe back problem known as Spondylolisthesis which is quite painful. It means that one of the vertebrae has slipped forward causing a nerve to be pinched. After many doctors visits and different therapies a friend of mine insisted I go to her chiropractor as he had something "special" he used as traction that might help me. Being desperate, I made the long trip 3 times a week in the beginning and then 2 times a week etc. On my first visit I was fully expecting to be laid out on a traction table and stretched! I was quite surprised when he walked in with this rather small device that he tightly wrapped around my waist and then put me on a treadmill at a very slow speed for about 15 minutes. Well, needless to say, IT WORKED! I could finally really start feeling a difference in my back. I would feel "taller" every time I walked out of there. Eventually, I stopped going as he was simply too far away from me and I could no longer afford the expense. His treatments have lasted for just over a year now and my condition has returned with a vengeance!!!! I have just ordered my own unit and it should arrive shortly. I am literally counting the days until it gets here so I can rip it open and put it on and start feeling relief. In closing, all I can say is that whomever it was that came up with this idea is nothing short of a GENIUS!! So, wherever you are, out there - THANK YOU!!!

Carley R - Vertetrac for Spondylolisthesis

This is to confirm that I have used the Meditrac Vertetrac successfully over the past 10 years in the treatment of low back disorder. I have especially good results with lumbar disc bulges, protrusions, herniation, and even fragments, confirmed on MRI. It is my treatment of choice for most low back injuries and conditions, short of fracture or cancer. In October 2002, I was rear-ended by a linen delivery truck and suffered disc level injuries, T7, L12 (disc spur complex) and L4 5. My pain was severe the first weeks after the injury. However, as soon as I could tolerate traction, I began putting myself in the Vertetrac daily. I was able to get out of pain during short treatment sessions and began the slow climb into recovery. I did almost daily treatment sessions from November through April with the Vertetrac. This permitted me to maintain my practice and continue surfing for exercise. It is now almost 8 months post-accident and I have times when I am pain free and days that I don’t need any treatment whatsoever. I apply the traction twice weekly now during my workweek. Recently, I spent 7 days surfing in Hawaii and was pain-free most of the time. I recommend the Vertetrac to all of my colleagues, and have found it to be a source of patient referrals to me, and most of all, it has permitted me to maintain my own work activity after a bad auto accident. This is the most important piece of equipment in my practice, along with my adjusting table. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience helping patients with the Vertetrac.

Dr Jo C Stroud, DC re the Vertetrac

In November 2008, a patient of mine retired from playing professional soccer for 16 years. She returned to the US and arrived at my office in extreme pain and antalgia. Her lumbar MRI showed two severe herniations at L4-5 and L5-S1. I was very concerned and decided to purchase the Vertetrac after reading about it. I began to use the Vertetrac daily starting at minutes at 2 MPH on the treadmill after using my cold laser and performing ART to the appropriate muscles. She also needed a trial of 3 epidural injections which gave her enough pain relief to receive the therapy (she only felt relief after the first epidural, the remaining two did not provide any further relief.) Over several months of care she improved to the point of being able to coach soccer and live pain free. She uses the Vertetrac periodically for maintenance care and is continuing to coach. I have used the Vertetrac with many disc herniation patients with great results. I have a small disc herniation at L4-5 and use the Vertetrac after heavy deadlifts. Instead of feeling a bit stiff the next day, I have no pain and really feel like I did not even lift the day before. At 50 years old, this is a great feeling. Thank you Meditrac for a wonderful therapy!

Many of our patients require the insertion of a Naso-Gastric tube (NG tube) for various reasons. All of them have pain or discomfort from the indwelling NG tube. Unfortunately, there was no solution, that is, until now. Recently I carried out a clinical study with the NG Shield in order to determine if the acoustic vibrations of the NG Shield could reduce the pain and discomfort related to NG tubes. The results showed significant reduction in these parameters. Today, the NG Shield appears to be a very promising device that can bring relief to patients requiring NG tubes

I want to shout from the rooftops to everyone who has suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia about the PainShield. I was recently diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia, a sharp, shooting electrical pain on the side of my face. The pain felt similar to being tortured alternatively with an electric wire and cut with a sharp knife. I was put on anti seizure medication, but as is typical of the condition I did not get much relief and continued to have excruciating and seriously debilitating pain. Thankfully, I learned about the PainShield online and contacted Dr. Adahan who had a series of teleconsults with me and determined that I would be a good candidate for the PainShield. Since my very FIRST use with the device, both the intensity and frequency of my pain declined dramatically! I was stunned by the device efficacy! I cannot begin to tell fellow-sufferers what a blessing this has been. I cannot recommend it enough!
