The therapeutic methodology is able to provide substantial pain relief over long time duration to patients afflicted with chronic pain; and relief from chronic pain and improvement of all symptoms coincidental with chronic pain begins immediately upon treatment. The therapeutic procedure must be performed by a properly trained medical practitioner or clinician within the confines of a hospital setting. Nevertheless, the therapeutic method provides pain relief for chronic pain sufferers, especially those persons who have been unable to obtain relief from chronic pain despite drastic medication and other pain relief techniques.Field of SearchMEANS FOR INTRODUCING OR REMOVING MATERIAL FROM BODY FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES (E.G., MEDICATING, IRRIGATING, ASPIRATING, ETC.)Infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray or electrical energy applied to body (e.g., iontophoresis, etc.) Treating material introduced into or removed from body orifice, or inserted or removed subcutaneously other than by diffusing through skin Methods | |
