Final result of treatment:
The pain relief was felt faster with the 735Slider vs. the 735AGM in the treated areas. Then just as with the 735AG Modific, the relief spread globally (to other parts of the body) and promoted a more parasympathetic state. The owners historical use of Let Medical devices enabled her to eliminate weekly stellate ganglia and lumbar blocks, reduce pain medications and eliminated her pain doctor recommended spinal cord stimulator implant from ever being pursued.
Her RSD affected limbs have improved color and are warmer post therapy.

Comments:
When the Slider was placed onto any affected area (Point of pain Protocol), each area generated a strong relaxation response, an "Ahhhh" feeling of relief as the pain rapidly subsided. This was what the 735AGM also did in the beginning and still does, just not at every site, so perhaps there has been some accommodation the Modific.

Comments on the new device working:
The Slider has the same ease of use as the 715AG and 735AGM, but the display is not as easily interpreted. I liked the display of the Modific better, it is more intuitive. The Slider felt stronger, slightly faster in a way and more efficient than the Modific and yet not overpowering. Its "energy feel" was interesting and different from the Modific. I like them both.

Note — this client has owned/used the following Ritm Pro, DOVE, CDove, AcuSCEN Pro, 715AG, 735AGModific. She presently uses only 2 devices; the 735AG Modific and the DOVE (which she carries in her purse at all times).
