Case History
- JL, North Carolina—24 y/o male runner having moderate knee and calf pain after running. This has slowly gotten progressively worse and is most notable after running 3 miles, sometimes to the point that he had to quit for the day. Treated several times with the device with one electrode over the tendon beside the knee and the other down the calf muscle. Has run several times now with much less pain to the point that he can easily finish his 5-6 mile daily run.
