I did my research on Google Scholar, reading many research papers/studies and such there. I developed a list of specifications from the common threads of the research I read, then began to try to find a company producing products that fell within those specifications. I found Novaalab in this way. I had been trapped at home due to constant, high-level (9) pain which radiated down both legs to my feet and toes due to multiple herniated discs, severe stenosis and more. I had been in decline since last year and steep decline after seeing a physical therapist, who eventually told me to go see my surgeon. I've had 3 previous surgeries. My surgeon said he'd recommend I avoid surgery as long as possible, as the surgical options would be much more invasive and a much more difficult recovery. He referred me to their pain management center, but they didn't offer an appointment until 6 weeks later. I had to cancel a highly anticipated vacation with my wife and had her go alone. I purchased the handheld laser, the small pad/belt and the XL pad. I was up and about the house, then able to go out to dinner the same day I received my order. Less than 2 weeks later, my wife and I rode our motorcycles from FL to OH and back; just over 3,000 miles. I was able to plug the belt into a battery pack I kept in my riding jacket, which allowed me to treat myself while riding the motorcycle. The Novaalab products are able to provide an excellent, drug-free pain relief for me, as needed. They are a fantastic pain management tool that have allowed me to get outside and be active again. That said, the pain does set back in; when it comes back, I treat myself again and can go live again. While there's a great deal I just cannot do, I am freed from the bed and my home. I have joy and pleasure back in my life.

Where is the 10 star rating??!!

I bought 2 pads. I have venous insufficiency.. for 5 years. Wear medical compression stockings. I have tried another company's device and it was older..and hand held. Not too convenient for my needs. In 5 years ..the improvements in different types of sizes...and flat pads??!! Awesome! I looked at many many types for a couple weeks before deciding on Novaalab. WOW is all I can say! My legs will take awhile, I'm sure. I have 78% circulation loss in one leg. I went to a doc 6 weeks ago... they told me 10,000$ for a year...to do infrared in my home. Are you KIDDING? (I have an older device...which I paid 400 $ 5 years ago!) So, home I went..to search the internet!

Thank you Novaalab!

But I must say this....1996 I had surgery for rotator cuff. He said it would last 10 years...well, here it is 24 years later, and I'm noticing the pain....months go by...can't put on my bra....ONE SESSION....ONE with this pad...!!! PAIN GONE...bra goes on like a charm!

I have a roommate. I can tell by her veins she will have trouble later. I was so excited telling her about my shoulder, the improvements in my feet after one session...she mentioned her toes have been tingling. I told her thats the start...I set her up in her chair....bingo...tingling gone. First session. I told her to keep doing it. I will share !!

I cannot WAIT for my feet to heal. I had to change my whole lifestyle! I'm a beach baby! You think Im going to the beach in stockings??? Riiiiight!! I used to wear cute knee length...shorter dresses..shorts... FLIP FLOPS... and the cute little kitten heels I used to wear??!! I'm in lower west coast Fl.!!You think I want to wear stockings and pants???!! Hello!

Thank you AGAIN Novaalab...I'm VERY greatful.

And a special thank you to Anne for being very patient with my emails!!
