Elbow Tendonitis

[teedoff]

My gym owner gets a cells9nic machine in a few weeks. To hear her tell it, it'll cure just about everything. From stds to Ed to bad joints/tissue.

Trying to get me to try it out for my knee. I have knee pain and elbow pain as well occasionally. I'm not sold. The cost is per pulse and for me knee it's 6 pulses for 250 bucks. Lol

That sounds like quackery. It cures STDs, ED and bad joints?

Yup. In the joints it vibrates off the jagged cartilage. For ED, if stimulates the Dick muscle back into life & for STDs, the vibration paralyzes the virus or in the case of warts or herpes, vibrates them into oblivion.

I’m 99.999% sure he was being sarcastic in that it sounds like another “miracle cure” that can rake in huge $ with very little $ spent on the equipment or the personnel giving the treatment.

No I wasn't. That was THE exact conversation we had with the gym owner on Wed. Lol. One of the other patrons mentioned talking to her friend in Utah that also uses the cellsonic machine and that friend told her it would cure stds. Lol. That's when we started naming off Ed and other ailments she said it would "cure".

Not doubting there's some benefit to this machine, but like other things, with time it garners a bit of embellishment in certain circles.

That brings up a good question. Are you going to touch that cellsonic machine after some dude wiped his herpes all over it?

Well, I was. We’ve used sound waves in physical therapy for decades. It’s pretty much good for stimulating blood flow needed for healing.

Sound waves cannot help bad joints. Now if you’re stimulating blood flow to the tendon that crosses that joint, ok.

ED, not a chance. It’s likely they’re getting confused with Peyronie’s disease which is calcification in the elastic walls of the penis. It doesn’t work. In fact sound waves have done a shit job with plantar fasciitis as well and not so great with Myositis ossificans too.

It’s another racket that you can bill high rates and pay the machine off in 2 days. You can hire a monkey to do the treatment as long as you co-sign the monkeys treatment notes. Teach the monkey to do a massage to “break up the calcium” in the tendon and you can bill another $100 for a 5-10 minute “calcific friction massage” (my words, but trust me, it’s coming).

How do you think the medical profession takes in so much $?

Oh totally agree. Like I said. I'm sure there are some benefits to cellsonic therapy, but it's not a cure all device. They're even claiming it's cured cancer. Lol.

Between this and essential oils, we're gonna live forever!

She also does what's called non surgical treatment, which basically is where she uses her elbow to do deep tissue massage to break up scar tissue and possibly calcium deposits and such that cause inflammation. She's been trying to get me to do that for 2 years. Lol Even told me a few weeks ago, before I had my esophagus stretched during my endoscopy that non surgical would cure that.

Hey, I just wanted to start by saying that I didn’t mean to give you any grief. I apologize if I came off as rude to you.

I was just venting on yet another miracle cure that is the flavor of the day, sure to rake in millions and then vanish after doing next to nothing.

Actually elbows, knuckles and various tools are effective for some scar tissue & deep muscle tightness (Thai massagers use their heels and support themselves from the ceiling) but not calcification.
And man, if done right, you pretty much have to put a towel in your patient’s mouth to bite into or they’ll petrify the entire office with their screams. Manually tearing through scar tissue feels pretty cool to you the practitioner and you can often hear it, but from the patients point of view, yikes.

Peace buddy, again no harm intended.

To the OP, good luck and I hope your insurance has it covered!
