Brief Answer:
I highly doubt it will work

Detailed Answer:
Good evening sir

Thank you for writing on health care magic

I have gone through your history. Considering the age mentioned, it looks like the osteoarthritis of the knee joint, that is the cartilage between the joint has suffered significant wear and tear.

The treatment options are quite limited in this condition. As for the circulation booster, there are no proven studies which show it to be beneficial. However some patients have used it and they report relief from it as it is supposed to increase the blood supply in the muscles. Considering the damage to cartilage, I highly doubt it will work. We have never used it in our practice. The better thing to do is exercises, glucosamine supplements, knee cap and avoid any strenuous position. I won't recommend you the circulation booster considering the cost of it and no added advantage.

Do let me know for more queries. Would be happy to answer them

Brief Answer:
less of radiation side effects

Detailed Answer:
Good evening XXXXXXX

Sorry for the delayed reply. As I havnt prescribed much of this device, I had to enquire around from my physiotherapists friends. I looked up lot of information about it as well.

Well, it does not cause much of radiation exposure. It works by electrically stimulating your nerves and muscles to increase the blood flow to the area. So there is no risk of radiations from it. But yes the only thing it can do is to trigger the heart at times to create irregular pulse. So it is contraindicated for people with pacemaker. But it's good to know it is providing you relief. I can recommend it from now on as well.

Hope the information has been useful

Brief Answer:
Circulation booster

Good evening


1000 pounds? That is quite a lot. If you can afford it and it is giving you relief you can purchase. But just that it is not a permanent solution to the knee problem you are having. It is just a temporary measure to relief the pain and stiffness.

Well what I can suggest is to try and use it on alternative days. You can observe your condition of the knees on the days you are not using it. If using it once in a while gives you relief, you can use it at the physiotherapy sessions too. It would prove much cheaper and you don't have the fear of what happens when it stops giving relief.
