A Physician’s Perspective: Why this Renown Pain Specialist Recommends the RS-4i® Plus
Electrotherapy can seem complicated, even for medical professionals who aren’t up-to-speed on all the technologies and treatment options available. Which is why we asked for a physician’s perspective on guidelines for utilizing the RS-4i Plus as part of his treatment protocol.
Focused on Freedom from Medication
Dr. William Owens, a chiropractor in private practice for over 24 years, is also adjunct faculty at the College of Chiropractic Medicine at Cleveland University-Kansas City and at the Jacobs School of Medicine at SUNY Buffalo.
For many of his patients, their pain has reached a point that makes life difficult. They’re unable to move, and they often need to ask for help for routine tasks – like going to medical appointments.
To provide pain management between those appointments, Dr. Owens prescribes the RS-4i Plus.
“The focus on this device is to allow patients to manage their pain independently of being at the office,” he says. “This is critically important in the healthcare system, so that we’re not putting patients on medicines that are harmful when they can use a system like the RS-4i Plus.”
He finds that not only does it provide prescription-grade pain relief, but it also affords patients new freedom – with side-effect free, on-the-spot pain control that helps them to be more mobile.
A Case in Point for the RS-4i Plus
Dr. Owens recalls one tough case – a patient with a severe disc herniation in his middle back.
“When he went in for surgery, his pain was about a 10 out of 10,” says Owens. “After the surgery, he was at about a six out of 10. And the RS-4i Plus brought that pain down to about a three.”
He was glad to see that this patient achieved dramatic results.
“We know that those results are the best endorsement for what we do as doctors in our clinic.”
Getting Back to a Functional Life
“Sometimes the injuries we see are permanent, and we just have to have the patient living a functional life,” reminds Dr. Owens.
Which is why the inclusion of independently managed treatments is a key to on-going relief for so many. By having treatments that patients can self-manage – whether that’s during the day or especially in the middle of the night – they can get the necessary pain relief in their actual moments of need.
“If we can get them feeling better, we can stabilize them. And they can go home and still be a functional part of their family.”
