People are traveling from all over the world to get pain relief
September 2014
Doctor’s Message:
Claudia Berghaus came to Calmare Therapy NJ from Neuhausen, Switzerland suffering from CRPS ( Complex Regional Pain Syndrome ) in her left foot and leg.
CRPS diagnosis after surgery
Her condition started following surgery from a sledding accident in 2012. She required six screws and metal bars to hold the bones (which were eventually removed). But her chronic pain continued.
Claudia_Bergman_Switzerland_9.2014Claudia followed the traditional path for pain treatment: prescription pain medications, physical therapy- even more surgery to move the nerve.
More physical therapy followed, but her neuropathy only worsened.
Claudia discovered Calmare scrambler therapy for chronic pain on the Internet and researched it extensively in both Europe and the United States.
I was honored she elected to travel to us here in the U.S. to undergo treatment with me, due to my expertise treating RSD and CRPS cases, which are often the most challenging neuropathic conditions to overcome.
After undergoing a long and arduous trip, she arrived in New Jersey, USA with a pain level of 8 even while continuing to use pain medication.
One-hour daily Calmare Therapy treatments commence for 10 days
Following a careful study of Claudia’s medical history and a thorough medicalcamare foot image with leads examination, we got to work. It was clear where her Calmare leads needed to be placed (this is a provider dependent treatment) in relation to her injury and the active spreading path of her CRPS.
The outcome after Claudia’s treatment series
• Claudia is no longer using any medications.
• *Her pain levels are consistently between 0 and a 2.
• Her sleep pattern went from a max of 3 hours/night to sleeping soundly through the night for the first time in two years.
Before she left to return to Europe, she took the time to share this (much appreciated) letter with us:
Dear Dr. Cooney, Cathy and Barbara,
Claudia letter image_croppedThank you for going with me on this journey of mine to fight CRPS in my left foot. Coming here all the way from Switzerland (!) was a very good thing for me to do.
Thanks to the Calmare treatment, I’m off Lyrica twice a day and off the other opioid tablets for good.
There is definite improvement on the pain scale towards 0.
Keep doing what you are doing because it really makes a difference, hopefully not only in my life but for others too.
I’ll keep you posted for sure and I’ll come right back again if ever needed. I came to the U.S. for your treatment and brought with me a huge desire for relief of this pain.
I arrived quite skeptical and now am going back home full of hope and confidence for the future!
Once more, Vielen Dank! (thank you!)
Best wishes,
Claudia from Neuhausen Switzerland
*9.16.14 UPDATE: Claudia just dropped us a message letting us know she arrived home safe, sound and pain-free.
