Case studies



Case study 1 :   Rheumatoid Arthritis, Male, 48 years old

Fair health state, RA in history 5,1/2 years, occasional psoriasis since teens. No taking any medication

History of RA: started from right ankle, then right knee, then left wrist and then right wrist over last two year focusing on both ankles, right knee and wrist. On the first visit presented with pain in the left wrist (6), right ankle joint and right knee (4), left ankle (2)

  1. 1st treatment – Assessment, shows that the Active region is Upper Thoracic. Treated with Flex Array – pain in the lower body subsided (1) and only expresses in the left wrist
  2. 2nd treatment – use of HS (HS1; HS2; HS3; HS4) both sides. Flex array in the Active region – Upper Thoracic
  3. 3rd & 4th treatments – use of the 24 Source Points - exacerbation

Treatment outcome  - mid course  – exacerbation in symptoms, yet functional improvement in walking and use of the feet and hands

  1. 5th treatment – HS’s: HS1, HS18, HS9, HS5, HS12, treated on each session with the Flexible array Cycle 2 the Upper Thoracic and Cervical
  2. 6th treatment – focus on local zone – left wrist as pain was predominantly in the wrist (HS1, HS9, HS12)
  3. 7th treatment – Assessment – demonstrates that Active zone is still Upper Thoracic,
  4. 8th treatment  over period of 4 weeks - to conclude, used HS points in the region, local treatment for the wrist and spinal roots with the Flex array.

Result:

  1. Consistently less pain in the knee (0),

            less pain the both ankle joints (0 – 1)

  1. Pain in the wrist fluctuate, from no pain to pain down to (4 – 5)
  2. Waling improved;
  3. Full use of the wrist;
  4. Sleep has improved;
  5. Activity – fast walking without discomfort
  6. Feedback after 2 weeks – continue to improve without any additional treatments
  7. Scheduled for next course of treatment in four weeks break time.

Second course of treatments 8 weeks later at the time of aggravation – primary complaint, pain and difficulty in use of the left hand (9), right knee continue to improve. Lower level of pain in both ankle joints, although started actively walking.
After 8 treatments within 4 weeks complete pain resolution and increase of ROM in the left hand and improvement n both ankles.



Case study 2 :   Fibromyalgia, Degenerative disc disease, Female, 64 years old

  4. Observation: left leg is shorter, muscular atrophy following L2 and L3 dermatomes, overweight
  5. Dynamic: limping significantly.
  6. 1st treatment – Assessment – demonstrates Active Region – Cervical, treated with the Flex array, cycle 2
  7. 2nd treatment – HS’s (Hs1 – Hs18), Flex array on the Cervical zone
  8. 3rd treatment- no pain in neutral position – After treating a Complaint region– Lumbar, dynamic treatment: Flex array when walking: one on the Lumbar, one on the lateral point of thigh where the pain is felt
  9. 4th treatment – concentrated on local point of pain – Lumbar zone and left groin region

Treatment outcome – mid course – pain shifted to groin and knee
(where originally started) pain is less intense.

  1. 5th – treatment focus on the complaint region L2/L3 and dermatomes;
  2. 6th treatment – HS’s in the region and working on the lateral aspect of the thigh (complaint zone);
  3. 7th treatment –Assessment – Active zone shifted to Thoracic / Lumbar, focused on it.
  4. 8th treatment  - spinal roots L2 L3 and Lumbar zone, Flex array on the complaint region (thigh)

Treatment result:
Pain is significantly less(2 – 4), when walking no stabbing, less intense. Walking – less limp; Sleep has improved Point of Pain shifted higher.
After two weeks break resumed the treatment. Her pain is continuously improving. Received only 1 week support treatment, recommended to purchase a home use device to maintain the result and get further improvement.

second course of treatments after 4 weeks resulted in further pain relief, where pain appears once in four days and in average not more than 4 (out of 10). The patient supports treatment with use of the personal InterX.



Case study 3 :   Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Male, 41 years old

Case study 4 :   Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), Female, 19 years old

Fair health state, CPRS for 2 years, started of when she was only 17 years old, followed by multiple injuries to the coccyx and the head at age of 8 and 15. at age of 17 developed a serious low back pain in the left sacroiliac joint that progressed into a more serious pain across the whole back resulting in spasms and autonomic reactions like change in the skin temperature and spasms of micro-vessels (feet discolouration).
Prescribed variety of pain controlling and antispasmodic medication: diclophenac, amintriptilin, gabopentine, .
Observation: frail, extremely sensitive to touch, rigid walking, very low muscular tone in the whole body muscles,  very tired, pain (8 – 10), poor sleep. Palpation is almost impossible at the site of pain – left SI joint.

  • 1st course of treatments (December) – Assessment, technique, HS technique,  working only on the spine in painting technique. Small improvement, still in pain.
  • 2nd course of treatments  (short, January) – HS techniques.
  • 3rd course of treatments (long February/March) – HS, techniques, source points technique, for the first time local technique at the zone of pain – left SI joint.
  • 4th course of treatments (May) short - Treatment outcome –pain is less (4 – 5) still lots of spasms, focused on a spine techniques with the dermatomes.
  • 5th course of treatments (June) –  had a detox reaction (parallel homeopathic treatment  (for 10 days reaction)

Treatment result:  after that great progress: pain is considerably less (3- 4), reduced sensitivity to tough  - was able to treat her at the site of injury. Walking is better, sleep is better, focused, completely off her medication, actively started rehab.
At the moment is on a treatment break.

Used a home device with the Flex array for the first 3 courses of treatment to support the result.

 



Case study 5 :   Impingement syndrome, Male, 28 years old

Observation/ palpation: oedema at the top of right shoulder, hot to tough, tender to palpation.
Dynamic: difficulty in bringing the arm up and extending backwards.

  1. 1st treatment –local area scanning and focusing. Flex array on the neck zone; finishing up with dynamic treatment by bringing the arm up (do not treat extending backwards very acute injury). Resulted in a complete pain relief.
  2. 42nd treatment – two days later focused localised treatment and the dynamic treatment with Flex array resulted in a complete resolution of both injuries.

Case study 6 :   Osteoarthritis, Female, 62 years old

Good health state, suffered with osteoarthritis for 3 years, this accompanied by varicose vein and thrombosis.
Not taking any medication. In past was taking anti-inflammatory. Diet is good, drinking plenty of water.
History of the current flair up: pain in the left knee (7) affecting walking ability preventing to go up or down stairs.
Observation/ palpation: oedema at the anterior/superior aspect of the knee joint and smaller size of oedema at the medial/superior aspect of the knee, tender to palpation.
Dynamic: difficulty in walking down stairs

  1. 1st course of treatments –local area scanning and focusing. Flex array on the Sacral area; finishing up with dynamic treatment by walking up and down stairs. In 6 treatments a complete pain relief. Treatment break.
  2. 2nd course of treatments –Treatment of the knee and associated pain in the lower back and the hip – left side of the body, focusing at localised treatment and the dynamic treatment with Flex array resulted in a complete resolution of all sites of pain. (5 treatments)
  3. 3rd course of treatments – aimed at entirely different situation: she broke her left ankle joint and were treated after she was discharged from the hospital and her plaster was removed. After 4 treatments her pain was completely under control and walking was pain free. Treatment 5 was aimed to aggravation of the accompanying cystitis. 2 treatment and home –based treatment by using the personal device resolved cystitis completely.

Comments: The patient periodically treated herself for small aches and pains of compensatory character and associated with the late and inadequate rehab that resulted in the pain in the opposite foot and sciatic pain due to sciatic nerve irritation. Today status is very good, the patient reports no pain.
