I've already shared the information in three separate visits to Walgreens. In each instance, the person I was talking to didn't buy anything at Walgreens, and said they will order it online. All three were looking at a high priced device similar to icy hot tens unit.
I explained the difference - the tens unit will only treat the symptoms, however actipatch is actually healing the injury in the soft tissue (cells).
I had already spoke to the manager twice and they can only refer me to calling their corporate office to request the product. AND - the manage was listening to our conversation and saw the guy decide to not buy icy hot and look it up online. Then he tried to look the product up on Walgreens online, but they didn't have it. I'm pretty sure he's trying to get the actipatch in his store.
Last week I saw one of the people I told about actipatch. He was at the baseball fields with his wife to watch their grandsons first practice. He went on and on about what great advice I offered. He said he has used the tens unit I the past, and that it helps only in the short term, but the pain keeps coming back, and that why he didn't buy the icy hot unit, because it really is just a glorified tens unit. He still keeps the actipatch unit on his knee, even though he is no longer experiencing knee pain (over a month since I saw him at Walgreens). He has been doing a lot of research into how this technology works. Because it doesn't bother him in any way, he just keeps it on the knee and let's it do even more healing. His thought is that he might completely resolve his knee pain by using the actipatch LONG-TERM.
Pretty neat coincidence. He saw me walking my dog and immediately called out to me as he was walking up to me. This guy was even more excited about this technology the man me, and I really do think this technology will completely change the way people treat injuries and inflammation.
He insists that his family members try this product as they need to.
Good stuff!!!
