May 2007 I had a lipoma weighing at 128 grams removed from the front upper thigh area. Along with a 7 inch incision straight down the thigh. Four months after surgery, the pain in the ham strings and front thigh was gravely painful. Have a massage therapist perform "deep" massage on the left thigh twice a week for an hourly session.

In 2000 I had the L5-S1 lower disc fused because of back pain and actually no disc at all. Followed up with pain management of getting lower steriod injections twice a year.

My wife has planter fascitis in her left foot and has had steriod injections.

I bought the "Sonic Relief" based on what I read from other peoples reviews and did some research on ultrsound. For three weeks I have used this on the left thigh(including the ham strings), and the left elbow. There is a complete difference of pain level, like "none", and my massage therapist said she could feel the difference in the thigh. Presently using this on the wife's foot and she uses it on my lower back. Her foot is less painful. The elbow feels great and can perform light weight exercises. If this device is that good on the thigh and elbow, I'm sure it will help with the lower back.

This product "works"! Recommend it to anybody with pain.

I was pretty sceptical at first and didnt even take it out of the box until the end of September...one day when my heel was really killing me I decided to give it a try...well the darn thing worked right away...my heel felt better after the first time and it kept feeling better everytime I used it!

I dont feel any pain in my heels now. I dont even know what to say...I didnt think it would be possible after everything I already tried and what people were telling me. The question now is what I should do to make sure the pain doesnt come back.

I thank my sister everytime I see her and I tell everyone I know to try a Sonic Relief machine...it worked wonders on my heel.

I am a cyclist and the swelling was becoming overwhelming to the point where I could not bend my knee properly for days after a 30 minute bike ride.

I got myself a Sonic Relief and after one treatment I felt instant relief and the swelling went down in my knee.

I'm now able to bike without pain, before, during and after. I now use my Sonic Relief not only on my knees, but on my very painful bunion which is something I never thought I would be able to help without surgery.

I'm very thankful for my Sonic Relief!

This summer of 2007 with more time on my hands (vacation), and with crippling pain which could best be described as if stepping on nails and carrying bricks of cement on each foot each time I stepped I was given a referral to a podiatrist. The first thing I asked my podiatrist was if he recommended a little machine I had read about: sonic relief. He told me not to waste my money on it. However, the same podiatrist gave up on me after the third visit...and sent me to a nerve specialist...and told me I had something like fibromyalgia on my left foot or never damage on it...or something else... he just could not tell... and that a nerve specialist and a pain management doctor could do some procedures to block out the excruciating foot pain. I insisted on an x-ray and an MRI. The MRI confirmed that for the last year I had been doing aggressive therapy (as prescribed by my primary care physician) on micro tears on my plantar ligaments, that I had inflammed tissues, plantar fasciitis, two big sized heel spurs, and a cyst... and a bunion, plus some arthritis on my my toes on my left foot. My right foot showed inflammation, a big heal spur, and arthritis with a bigger bunion, and another condition. My podiatri[s]t had me place my left foot in a removable leg cast to immobilize the ligament and recommended the nerve specialist. My primary care physcian made a referral for the nerve specialist and recommended I take a pain medication while I waited for the appointment. The pain medication is a medication that has been on the market for about two years (which frankly scares me), and it is primarily prescribed for people who suffer from convulsions and from diabetes. I don't suffer from any of those conditions. However, I was desperate with pain. I started taking the medication for the pain, and immediately within two days the leg swelled to twice its size. I called my pharmacist. He told me to go back to to my primary care physician and report the side effect. I did. My primary care physician told me to take the medication and to increase the dos[e]. He told me my feet would swell, and that the swelling might continue for up to four or even six months, so if I wanted to I could take a diuretic (for which he gave me another prescription). He also told me that he could not do much for me. He had a wheel chair delivered to my home...I have been using it, because both legs hurt so much, and the right leg is in danger of getting just as bad. The school year is about to start-- and I am NOT taking early retirement over this!.

Last week I asked my primary care physician about the possibility of me using a sonic relief machine for the pain.. He told me the heat my hurt me, but he did not know much about it. I asked him about calcium supplements: he did not know much about that for my spurs . I asked him about some natural remedy for the swelling on my leg....he told me that if he did not see studies on it, he did not believe in it. What both doctors did not know is that I had already sent for the little machine and for calcium supplements....and that I had been considering taking a natural supplement to bring down the swelling ...

In essence, a patient needs to be extremely pro-active: the doctors don't feel the pain. As well intended as most medical doctors may be, they are primarily trained to refer a patient to a specialist...to do surgery, and/or use prescription medications...inspite of all the complex side-effects that might result! Natural remedies, nutrional approaches, or any other form of alternate remedies are not encouraged.

I have my sonic relief machine now...I have been faithful to two treaments per day for the last four days. The gel penetrates the tissues. It leaves the area in my plantar feeling cool. Then, within the hour the healing in the tissue begins to feel warm and penetrating, and tingling. I don't know how to describe it. Today I was able to stand up a little longer. I am not returning the machine. I ordered more gel. At this point, I am letting my feet heal with the supplements and with the little quiet machine. I know I need to get the tissues in both feet healthier. I am willing to wait a little longer and use this machine.

The most surprising thing that I found it worked for was a sprained ankle. I twisted my ankle and thought I would be out of commission for a long time. But I treated my ankle with Sonic Relief right away and after 1 treatment I never had to worry about my ankle. It's a great way to use it - treat yourself right away when you get injured. I'd never be with out.

About 9 months ago my Doctor prescribed ultrasound treatments for my chronic tennis elbow. As an avid player, I have been suffering on and off with this condition for years. The ultrasound definitely works.

Recently I purchased a Sonic Relief and WOW what a difference. Being able to give myself treatments at home was not only easier and more convenient, but I got much better results than when I was going for treatments twice per week.

Since I got my Sonic Relief, my suffering is over. When I feel the pain returning I treat myself every day for a week or so and I stop the tennis elbow before it ever returns. The time between flare-ups is getting longer and longer, and my game is better than ever.

Thank you for a truly amazing product!
