It has been an amazing week of clinical trials here in Dallas, Texas.  Doctors are now refering their most difficult cases of severe chronic pain to us. The unprecedented results are amazing everyone. The treatments have proven to be effective with the most resistant types of long term pain and chronic illness.  Our objective with the trials is to prove to insurance providers and employers who cooperate with wellness program memberships, the effectiveness and cost savings of choosing these treatments over the traditional noneffective pain management and medication protocols. We are in the business of stopping the pain patterns and allowing the body to quickly strengthen and heal.

One recent case is of a woman who has suffered for twenty two years with reflex sympathetic dystrophy also known as R.S.D., an excruciating type of pain affecting the nerves which feels like the entire body is on fire twenty four hours a day. This woman has seen teams of specialists and suffered multiple unsuccessful surgeries, implants, injections of ganglion blocks, facet blocks and even a surgically implanted spinal stimulator which reached from her head to her tailbone. Not only did this radically invasive procedure not help her, but instead made the pain worse.

If this was not horrible enough, it also set off every store alarm and security check point she entered. Due to the fact that she had her head shaved for the surgery, requiring that she cover her head with a scarf, she was also dark skinned. Mind you, all of this took place right after the terrorist attacks of 9/11… this woman was in a ‘living hell’ every time an alarm went off. Enslaved to medications that left her often feeling like she was loosing her mind (a common side effect of R/S.D.), often too  fatigued to function and fearing the loss of body function all together, this woman had suffered the unthinkable. Though qualified by her doctors for disability, she refused. She said that she was not disabled and had a hope that something could…would help her.  Besides the fact that she could not enjoy her wonderful family, she also funded a non-profit company that is responsible for the care of six hundred babies in an orphanage and says she must find a way to recover because they count on her for their very existence.

I am happy to report that she left her first treatment pain free! She has now had four treatments and most of her pain is gone. Her vitality is back, she is out and about, exercising regularly…sometimes overdoing it because it feels so good to be able to do so and she can even wear her gorgeous stiletto heels…all you women know how important that is. She has been able to reduce her medication by more than fifty percent and expects to be completely pain and medication free soon after a few more treatments.

Another person referred to the trials has been out of work and not able to drive or live alone for many years due to severe pain, fatigue and weakness from fibromyalgia. Unable to care for herself or maintain any type of life and too tired to try, she said it was like being dead only miserable at the same time. She too left after her first treatment completely out of pain feeling energized and hopeful. The fibro-fog lifted, depression left and energy returned. Her pain was greatly reduced after three treatments allowing her to work on her feet ten plus hours a day. Fibromyalgia can be reversed with consistent care long enough to retrain the brain and body patterns and the restoration of energy stores.

Rheumatoid arthritis does not only affect the aging. A woman in her early twenties was reluctantly referred by her doctor, who was quite skeptical that anything could help her. For many years her wrists and ankles were frozen in a rigid position not allowing any range of motion and her knees were the size of large grapefruits. Her husband stated that it was a major feat to help her get out of bed each morning and he agonized at her pain. If this is not sad enough to know this tiny young woman, barely more than a child herself was in so much constant pain and had difficulty with simple movements, she also could not play with her lovely baby girl of nearly two. Lacking the range of motion necessary to get down on the floor or up again, the ability to do more than barely pick up her child, she was depressed and feared how much worse it could become.

After her first treatment she had some improvement in range of motion with one side and the pain was completely gone. Upon seeing her come from the treatment room her husband said she looked younger and happy. I asked her what outcome she hoped for from the treatments. She said she just wanted to be able to get on the floor and play with her baby girl and if the pain could be reduced she would be so grateful. She received four more treatments which gave her increased range of motion on both sides and is now able to play with her child. Her pain is gone…it has been several months.

A note from one of the doctors

Regarding a woman who has suffered for more than 23years with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. She has had three treatments and has already reduced her medication by more than fifty percent.

To Whom it May Concern

I have sent several of my more difficult chronic pain patients, and one of our international elite athletes, for concentration issues, to Victoria Richards, at The Physicians Institute and have seen marked improvement.   One of these patients has failed several spine surgeries and has stated that it has decreased her pain, when nothing else has. Her level of medication has been decreased by nearly 50 percent. We are still determining which patients will benefit most from treatment, with initial encouraging result we look forward to working with her as she continues to develop her technology and protocols.
