Finding Happiness on the Other Side of Pain

During his career in the Navy, Marty performed physical work. He worked where it was extremely hot and moved a lot of heavy equipment. That work took a toll, leaving him with severe back pain.

Doctors at the VA tried a variety of things to relieve the pain. Nothing worked. They eventually prescribed the RS-4i Plus and the RS-FBG Full Back Garment.

“When I first went down to the VA to get the RS-4i Plus, my pain level was probably eight or nine,” Marty recalls. “The first time I used it, it brought my pain down to a five. Then they set me up with the RS-FBG garment. Pretty soon, I told them they weren't getting it back. I love that thing. It's like a miracle.”

Seth Won’t Leave Home without His RS-4i® Plus

“My injury actually ended up ending my career in the military,” says Seth, a Veteran. “It led to me being medically discharged.”

He tried numerous options, but nothing worked to quell his pain – until the RS-4i Plus.

“The original TENS the VA gave me was too small and didn’t have enough power.”

“I was having to do the nerve ablations about every 12 to 14 months. Now, it’s extended that to 16 or 18 months.”

As Seth concludes, this device has helped change his life.

“I keep it in my vehicle,” he says. “It’s like the American Express – I don’t leave home without it.”
