Her chiropractor most likely is going to stop carrying them......they are not going to be discontinued by manufacturers! But it is always good idea to keep a couple months supply on hand. I know my mother did once have problem with getting her pads and it was major panic....so from than on she kept about a good 6 months worth at home just in case.
Oh she also broke the TEN's Unit a few times so she kept extra one of those also in the house....Especially if like her, she got them for only her co pay so $20.00. She also got turned on them by her acupuncturist at Kaiser .he been working there since early 70's so long before it was accepted!
Yes she had too as i did as well go to pain class ...which was nothing like what woman wrote about. We got breaks every 15 minutes plus encouraged to move around while he was speaking as we needed. We both learned things we have continued to use...though some clearly have been updated.
SO my mom every week when bad...would get half hour massage, acupuncture than told go home take warm bath or lay and relax for good half hour to hour to let acupuncture fully work. I did try it as well...massage was nice but acupuncture did not help my feet with RA....and i can say this...for most part no it does not hurt but if they hit nerve ..it hurts!!
So i really would encourage people to try this if their insurance covers it. Like i have said i have really old friend from kindergarten and her husband is acupuncturist who works mainly with fibro patients in Napa and is having excellent results!
SO TEN's UNITS ARE AVAILABLE!!!
