I have been using it a lot for low back pain from strains and muscle spasms. The most interesting thing I have found is when I have used it on ankle sprains, the swelling and ecchymosis reduced quicker than normal. I am currently using it on a shoulder for the first time and athlete reports it is helping.

While recovering from a knee replacement, I experienced a lot of inflammation and extreme pain. The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed for inflammation and pain sent me to the ER with gastritis. So all that gave me relief from the pain was hydrocodone with acetaminophen and oxycodone, which are opioids. Then I was introduced to the VORTEQ. While I was attached to the VORTEQ, the swelling and pain decreased, eliminating the need for pain medication. But when not attached to the VORTEQ, the swelling and pain returned, once again requiring the use of pain medication until I resumed using the VORTEQ. Because of the ongoing swelling and extreme pain, the doctors discovered that I was hypersensitive to the metal used in the initial knee replacement, and I had to have a knee revision. Since then, the swelling has still been more than normal and very painful. Currently, I use the VORTEQ up to six hours a day, and I am able to sleep comfortably while using it without the use of pain medication. I call the time spent on the VORTEQ my chocolate.

My husband and I were in a very serious car accident in Sunriver, OR. I had multiple surgeries ending with the result of having my right leg amputated just below the knee. Muscle spasms were so horrible after the amputation that sleep was impossible. After just one session the spasms ceased. My husband was looking at the need to schedule an amputation on his right foot due to the severity of his damage. After two months using the VORTEQ his doctors are not even considering amputation. He has decreased his pain medications and is rebuilding muscles in his leg that were lost due to atrophy.Natalie and Jayson H

Our VORTEQ has been in daily use for the last 2 years helping our clients heal faster from both chronic and acute injuries. The VORTEQ will change industry standards.

I’m a competitive athlete and a certified instructor. I spend many hours a week on the court teaching and playing. As a result of playing my sport, which requires a lot of bending, I have been having knee issues (symptoms similar to patellar tendonitis). The pain had forced me to curtail my teaching/playing. After my first session using the VORTEQ, I immediately felt pain relief. I came back a week later for another session and my knee pain has been reduced by ~95%. I had been using a foam roller and heat to try to resolve my knee pain and that has worked only intermittingly. But after my two VORTEQ sessions and my pain reduction, I’m a big believer in Thermal Contrast Therapy using the VORTEQ. Thanks for developing such a great product!

Thank you for allowing MV to utilize VORTEQ for our athletes. This spring we have had a couple significant ankle sprains and hamstring strains that it worked well for, decreasing their their recovery time. Over the winter we saw great results using it as a part of a meniscus injury rehab program. Athletic Trainer - Mountain View High School

I had cortisone shots and the doctors were getting pre-authorization for surgery when I started these treatments. After having therapy on my right hip over two months time, Bursitis is now gone. I have not had to see a doctor since starting this treatment. I have, and will recommend this treatment to others.

I was taking pain medication every 12 hours for Sciatica in my left hip. After two treatments my pain level was down and I was very active. I will recommend your machine and the healing comfort it provides.

I felt immediate relief and got my first full night of sleep in months.

I was able to cut my pain killers in half until I recovered.

My mare had extensive inflammation in her hind legs (thoroughpins) just above the hocks. After a 45 min treatment 80% of the inflammation was removed.Trent S.

Tennis Elbow Improved. Thanks for your recent session with your CWT unit. I had been experiencing “tennis elbow” for 5 months. It was quite a nuisance. After just one hour long session, my “tennis elbow” resolved itself over the next several days. Your CWT unit does seem to have great ability to help the body flush out inflammation even in low circulation areas, like around tendons. Thanks so much for your help.
