IntereX ® PAIN RELIEF The Acupuncture alternative

Acupuncture and Pain relief might seem a contradiction in terms to some, but the use of  the same meridian points of stimulation – and not using needles – has been most effectively developed in recent years using modern computer technology.

The latest handheld diagnostic instrument (seen below) is for the client who does not like even the thought of needles, or may have a condition prohibiting their use, for example blood thinning medication, or perhaps bruising more easily than average through age constrictions etc, there is an alternative…

The InterX® device is a very efficient method indeed, shown in the photo below, it also has many attachments which are made to be convenient for the different locations about the body, fingers for example are a smaller area than a persons back.

How does it compare to a ‘TENS’ device?

In laymans terms I say this; a ‘Tens’ distracts form the pain whereas the Interx sends the pulse not to distract but to repair. For example, the ‘Tens’ is most useful for the birth process to ‘hide’ the discomfort of the contractions which is, you could say, a tempory process.

FEATURES:

• Non-drug pain relief

• Non-invasive application

• Comfortable treatment

• Effective results

What should I expect from treatment?

‘Interx’® therapy is a most comfortable treatment. The procedure will involve applying the hand held device (illustrated) directly to the skin, close to or on the corresponding site – other leg for example – this is because the brain does not distinguish between any two limbs.

The sensation of the electrical impulse will resemble a tingling or vibrating feeling, some say it’s just like ‘pins and needles’. Your practitioner will adjust the sensation as needed throughout the treatment. Typical treatment sessions will last from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the complexity of condition.

The number of treatment sessions required will be determined by your condition, obviously long term pain will not be quite as quickly relieved as the recent accident, your practitioner will test for an estimate of what will be required. The contents of this short article are for informational purposes only. Questions and medical concerns should be directed to your practitioner.

Generally a course of treatments is recommended over several weeks for optimal results. It is essential to complete the entire treatment course to experience the full benefits of Interx. The treatment activates the nerve endings which may cause a temporary aggravation of symptoms, light-headedness for example. It is not unusual to experience improved sleeping patterns following treatment.

The full effect of a single treatment is generally experienced within a couple of hours in the case of recent trouma, and is often sustained for quite some time surprisingly early on in the course. The cumulative effects of more than one treatment may enhance these results.

Below you see the patient’s own applicator for home use, these instruments are often provided by professional athletic clubs for their highly paid team members, who cannot afford to waste time and effort in the old fashioned and out-dated ways.

What is InterX Therapy?

InterX® therapy is the targeted application ofInteractive Neuro-stimulation to manage and relieve the symptoms of pain and injury.

InterX® therapy is applied using a hand-held device which delivers gentle dynamic electrical impulses and stimulates the skin at the area of pain or inflammation.

How does InterX® work?

1. Interactive stimulation via fixed electrodes (a shaped metalic area on the device) is applied to areas of pain or injury.

2. The feedback from the skin in treated areas alters the stimulation that is delivered by the InterX. Primary treatment areas are identified by changes of skin colour, texture or sensation.

3. Treatment will then be targeted to those specific areas which have been identified as optimal treatment points.

4. Because the InterX® therapy provides the ability to target treatment on optimal points, the benefit of treatment may be more effective than other modalities.

What does it do?

Who can be treated?

InterX® therapy—is effective across a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. It has been found that the sooner treatment is started after an injury, the greater the healing effects and pain relief.

Most people can be treated using InterX therapy. It is particularly effective in the reduction and management of pain and the resulting increase in range of motion in short and long-term conditions.

Caution should be taken when using any electrical impulse devices as they may interfere with other electrical medical products. The use by a patient in the home would be only under conditions that meet with safety standards and after training, the hire or purchase of these devices may be arranged.

Note: There are no restriction to simple metalic implants, joints for example, however your practitioner may advise against treatment if:

• You have a pacemaker, insulin pump or other implanted functioning devices

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding

• You have active cancerous tissue or are undergoing chemotherapy

• You have a history of epilepsy or other seizures

InterX® is a safe and effective treatment for adults and children.

InterX® technology is 510(k) cleared by the US FDA for pain relief and pain management and carries the European CE mark.

The new InterX 5002, with its unique interactive stimulation is a ‘no needles’ treatment based on the acupuncture Traditional Chinese Medical therapy. It provides highly effective, non-invasive, non-drug pain relief with simple treatment applications.

The graphical display on the instrument itself provides users with quick and easy access to treatment applications for acute and chronic conditions, so, however long you have had your pain, it will be helped by this unique new treatment cycle program.

The InterX® has an additional ‘activity reading’ feature that uses advanced numerical readings to objectively indicate optimal treatment points, helping to ensure the most effective targeted treatment.

NEWS RELEASE – Giving Professional Rugby a Helping Hand

InterX® is confirmed as an important part of the rehabilitation program for England in the 2007 Rugby World Cup Tournament.

Plano, Texas, USA – Neuro Resource Group (NRG), the manufacturer of InterX® products, announced that InterX products were included in the rehabilitation programs of several England rugby players in the Rugby World Cup Tournament in 2007.

Jason Robinson received InterX Therapy as part of his rehabilitation program following a hamstring injury during England’s first game against South Africa in the World Cup tournament. Phil Pask, the Senior Physio for the England team for the last three Rugby World Cups, explains how he implemented InterX into his treatment protocol.

“I used InterX Therapy as part of our intensive rehabilitation program to see if we could get Jason back into the tournament. With a confirmed grade two hamstring tear, I expected that pain and inflammation would restrict the intensity of and progression through the rehabilitation process.

However, using InterX, I was able to significantly reduce Jason’s nociceptive pain following the injury and facilitate an intensive manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation protocol which definitely optimized his recovery time. This injury would normally have a 4-6 week prognosis, but Jason was back in full training after three weeks which allowed him to play in the Quarter Final game against Australia – and ultimately England to progress through to the final”.

Jason Robinson went on to play in the Semi-Final against France where he collected his 50th cap and in the Final against South Africa.

InterX® products are available to licensed healthcare professionals, including MD’s, physical therapists

and chiropractors for the treatment of a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions; InterX® is also

widely used throughout sports medicine. InterX personal products are available to individuals.

The list of clients whose patients and/or teams have been changed by InterX® products is truly impressive and includes:

• Physiotherapists and Doctors in the UK and International

• Professional Rugby and International Football

• Hospitals and Clinics in the UK and International

• Professional Sports teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS

• The US Military

• Qualified & Licensed Health Care Practitioners.

My personal training is with Dr Zulia Frost, one of the foremost practitioners worldwide in the use of InterX, and I have previously used devices employing similar principles for many years. within the Traditional Chinese System of Meridian Energies.

A letter to Zulia, one which made me very interested  in this subject for my husbandat the time, who is unable to have needles acupuncture:

Dear Zulia
Just a few words.
I have been working as an acupuncturist for 20 years and trained in the 5 element approach with Professor Worsely. I live my life according to the energy of the 5 elements.

In 2001 I heard that a colleague had cleared his wife’s bowel blockage using an early version or the Interx technology. Intrigued, I trained with Dr Zulia Frost and soon found how effective the Interx technology was at treating pain and helping scan and identify the most effective zones for acupuncture treatment.

As a result I am much happier with my acupuncture practice, helping more patients, healthier, wealthier and wiser.
Thank you Zulia!

IntereX Case Study of Stella’s own husband

I have been treating my husband for aprox 6 years with the Interex for Parkinson’s disease. Plus other conditions for 4 yrs prior to that, (inc angina resulting in heart by-pass surgery) together with other forms of therapy; TCM, electro-acupuncture/reflexology auricular therapy etc.

I became interested in IntereX through a fellow practitioner because of the bleeding problems with some patients of senior years, and aversion to needles phobias.

In the early days my husbands gait and stance was very slow in manifesting the typical symptoms, this I give the IntereX credit for in every way, also the depression usually attending this condition, which has been avoided with the pain relief it offers.

Parkinson’s deteriorates in a step-like pattern, with plateaus of shortening lengths and steps deepening as the illness progresses.

His quality of life, for a man of now 82 yrs, is more that we could have hoped for at the initial diagnosis, even though he is on many medications for various other conditions – 15 on the script.

Although the deterioration has been very gradual, throughout the years comparing the pre- and post- IntereX therapy we have come to realise even more the importance of the benefits it has allowed us.

With the physical, mental and emotional aspects of a long-term illness, the almost limitless protocols of the IntereX brings relief in all of these, an illness which is still only treatable by western medication in the comparatively short term, and certainly other new therapies publicised in the media are for the younger patient and were never open to us.

Conclusion: I know that the IntereX has reduced the overall effect of this illness throughout the years; it has most certainly improved the quality of, and possibly extended my husbands life.

The ‘home’ treatment is no more than if he was attending any other clinic, too frequent sessions can cause adverse symptoms, and Zulia in the Advanced Therapy Course recommends alternating protocols.

Post Script: One of the most disturbing aspects of Parkinson’s is the movement. Because I am also a hypnotherapist this additional therapy has been most useful.

Example; Hypnosis for the removal of a cataract, and an operation for a removal of a cancerous mole on the thigh only last year, was very successful in part to the post-operative pain relief with IntereX and preparation for the ‘event’ with hypnosis.

You can imagine the severe movement i.e. shaking of all the limbs uncontrollably could have been prohibitive had not the staff at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital been so amenable.

On my husbands part the confidence in the IntereX for pain relief, and pro-active hypnosis during the operations allowed the very necessary absence of motion, and a personal comment here, the hospital staff were most co-operative if very surprised at the benefits! Which in turn rather took me aback!

I hope this short missal has been of help to you, and if there is one piece of advice I can give any carer or therapist it is this; hope is a natural condition of the human being and is pronounced in the sufferer, support is hope and it takes many forms, not least understanding the nature of pain and its progress.

The relief that hope and support brings is limitless. Amen to that.

Warmest regards,

Stella, here in Norfolk
