Agree about the quality and I lucked out there. I read about them and saw some reviews and then went to try them out. They handled primarily Osaki and they come well recommended but they don't have anything in the 500 price range unless you find someone wanting to move up and can get a good deal on a pre-owned one from someone that doesn't have Ebola.
It was an investment for me. What else could I have spent that money on that would have brought me as much relief? I spent more in deductibles, steroid injections, acupuncture, compression therapy and physical therapy than the chair costs and other than one round of the steroid injections and acupuncture, this works better than any of that long term. But it is not 100% relief.
Here is something I find fascinating. My wife had some friends that are all about holistic and Eastern practices and I was a strong agnostic about acupuncture but to make my wife happy agreed to go to one. I told the acupuncturist my reservations and she understood and explained how it works and then shows me this map of the human body with the points on it. It was a replica of the original map that was created over 4,000 years ago. That map hasn't changed in all of this time. I figured, Ok they know something.
So, I agree to the treatments and she said if you don't feel anything after 6 weekly treatments, probably not going to respond. I don't know if it was the power of suggestion but I started to feel something after the 4th and 5th and after the 6th treatment, I was pain free for the first time since the first round of 3 steroid injections worked but a second round, the limit, had 0 effect. Had two more treatments and was pain free for almost a year and then it returned. I thought "hey, no problem, I am a full believer now and evangelical to anyone within earshot. I'll just go for another round'. I got 8 more treatments with absolutely 0 results.
So, here's what I found fascinating about it because I do believe in the power of positive thinking in healing. I went, really not a believer at all, just to keep the privilege of complaining at home and it works wonderfully, better than this old skeptic thought it ever would and I return with the power of positive thinking in my corner, absolutely certain it will work and nothing at all. Didn't have a new MRI to see if I'd done something else but the pain was identical as it was before.
Be careful the next time she lets you spend a lot of money on yourself. Find out what she's been looking at first. Enjoy your time with the little Vampire.
