Description:
Degeneration
of the small joints of the neck - caused by aging, wear and tear or
disease (in the case of Rheumatoid Arthrits). Results in pain, stiffness
and loss of mobility.
Although
this problem is long-term in nature and has no cure, BioStim is
an attractive treatment option for those wanting pain relief with fewer
side-effects. BioStim should also be used to strengthen the neck
muscles that will get weaker with inactivity.
Placement
of Applicators:
Electrodes
are placed on the back, at the nape of the neck.
