It is important to note that the NeuroCare device is Registered with the FDA via an FDA 510K certificationin which the manufacturer and its distributors are allowed to make certain specific claims pertaining to the effectiveness and applications of the device. Neither NeuroCare nor Renua Medical or Health First Technologies, Inc. make any claims pertaining to the NeuroCare device that go beyond those the FDA has determined are allowed to be made regarding the device and the treatments provided by the device.
The claims specifically allowed in the NeuroCare FDA 510K certification are as follows:
·INCREASED LOCAL BLOOD CIRCULATION
·MUSCLE RE-EDUCATION
·RELAXATION OF MUSCLE SPASMS
·MAINTAINING OR INCREASING RANGE OF MOTION
·PREVENTION OR RETARDATION OF DISUSE ATROPHY
·POSTSURGICAL CALF STIMULATION TO PREVENT VENOUS THROMBOSIS
There are a wide range of maladies that respond positively to increased local circulation and the relaxation of muscle spasms. While a patient who is suffering from pain because of a muscle spasm may experience pain relief once the muscle spasm is gone after a NeuroCare treatment, the NeuroCare treatment was focused on relaxing the muscle spasm, the cause of the pain, and not on the pain itself, since the pain was the result of the spasm and not the cause. Once the muscle spasm is relaxed and the cause of the pain is therefore eradicated, the pain will also often go away. This is why NeuroCare makes no claims to treat pain, but rather claims to address the core issues such as spasms that cause pain. In the same manner, neither NeuroCare nor any of its distributors make any claim to treat wounds specifically, though many patients who experience increased local circulation after NeuroCare treatments do in fact have long existing wounds that they have suffered from for years heal completely after NeuroCare treatments that increase the circulation needed for the body to finally heal such wounds. NeuroCare treatments associated with wound care are focused on returning the body to normal circulatory function in the area of the wound, allowing the body to heal itself once the proper flow of nutrients and oxygen are made available through increased circulation.
The Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research has reported on page 18 in the US Public Health Service Clinicians Guide Number 15 on Pressure Ulcer Treatments, printed by the US Department of Health and Human Services, that; “At this time, electrotherapy is the only adjunctive therapy with sufficient supporting evidence to warrant recommendation by the panel”.
Even with this recommendation, NeuroCare makes no claims to treat wounds per se. The fact that long existing wounds often are healed after NeuroCare treatments can be explained with a simple explanation that stays within the claims the FDA allows to be made regarding the device. The fact that NeuroCare has been shown to increase local blood circulation as is documented in the claims the FDA allows to be made about the device explains completely how such improved circulation can allow the body to heal itself of such long standing wounds once normal circulation is restored. Did the NeuroCare treatment heal the wound? No! The body was allowed to heal the wound once the NeuroCare device helped return normal circulation needed for such healing to occur to the area of the wound.
There are many other maladies and physical challenges patients face that also respond positively to the body’s improved ability to heal itself once normal circulation is restored. In many instances, all the NeuroCare device does is support the body’s healing mechanisms by increasing local circulation, thus allowing the body to heal itself. The same principal can be applied to many other physical challenges patients face which respond positively to increased circulation and therefore increased oxygenation of tissue, the strengthening of atrophied muscles, relaxing muscles in spasm and increased range of motion.

Shoulder Surgery Avoided
This note is from Greg Westfall regarding his Mother.
My own Mother had a complete shoulder replacement with a shiny new titanium shoulder and during her recovery from the surgery she had a heart attack and was forced to retire from her job.
A year later she winched in pain as she reached for something on the shelf at her home and when I asked what was wrong she told me that it was the same pain in her left shoulder that had cuased her to need the right shoulder replaced. After getting her Doctors approval to use the unit on her shoulder, making sure it would not interfere in any way with her implanted pacemaker/defibillator, I went immediately to my car and got the NeuroCare unit out and gave her her first and only treatment being careful to keep the current path away from her implanted pacemaker. Ten days later I was with her and she waved her left arm around saying, "Look Greg, no pain!"
I was very happy for her but I also felt very sad as I realized that she may not have needed to have her first shoulder replaced had we been able to treat her with the NeuroCare system before her surgery. Without the need for that first surgery, she may not have had a heart attack as she recovered from the surgery and she may not have lost her job.
Gale and Esther Thornberg share how NeuroCare Therapy Protocols have helped Gale with his Neuropathy and atrophied leg muscles as well as significantly reduced shaking and reduction in the depression side effect of his meds. This is a very exciting video but there is no guarantee that other Parkinson patients will experience the same positive results.
Dr. Quijano has been the Medical Doctor for Gale Thornberg for the past 10 years and has supervised his treatments and drug therapy for Parkinsons Disease during that time. He claims on this video to be amazed at the reduction of shaking that his patient has expereinced after a few weeks of treatments via the complete NeuroCare protocol which also included NeuroCare's Microcurrent Cranial Stim. He notes that he has cut the patient's anti-shaking medication levels down significantly and that he has never seen such little shaking in the patient in the past ten years.Dr. Quijano also discusses how after the NeuroCare Protocol his patient no longer suffers from the depression side effect from the drug therapy the patient is on.There is no guarantee that another Parkinson patient will experience the same results. The patient signed a release form allowing his Doctor to discuss his case in public.
Frank Washek is 85 years old and has led a very active life with his ministry serving prisoners around the country. He has a heart condition that made his Doctors very concerned about proceeding with shoulder surgery even though he could not move his arm from his side without extreme pain. After just three NeuroCare treatments Frank relays how his shoulder surgery was cancelled as he had a total return of pain free range of motion.
Ed Quijada is a former major league pitcher for the Houston Astros who was in a very severe auto accident that left him a quadriplegic from the neck down. His wife Amy reports that he had trouble breathing and could barely even sneeze let alone hold anything in his hands. Six months after his injury Ed heard about NeuroCare and got a Doctors prescription for a unit for home use.
After four treatments a day for six months, Ed has seen a significant return of function, his upper body strength has significantly improved, he can speak with a much stronger voice and breath more deeply and he has a return of feeling in his upper body, abs and back and even in his inner thighs. Recently Ed reported that he moved his foot about 4 inches on his own power. Ed has also reported a significant reduction in spasticity and improved muscle tone.
Ed and Amy have reported that they are most excited about letting other Spinal Cord Injury patients know that there is hope for the return of function for many SCI patients though the road can be long and difficult. Even without the return of function Ed notes that the NeuroCare treatments can improve the quality of life for many SCI patients.
Donna Morgan is the Administrator of a company that uses NeuroCare in multiple Skilled Nursing Facilities in the Midwest with great success. Donna credits the NeuroCare treatment protocols with saving many patients limbs from amputation who were already scheduled for amputation. She credits the return of normal blood circulation to the patients extremeties after NeuroCare treatments to NeuroCares ability to move out edema through massive muscle contractions that patients can tolerate more frequently for longer periods. Once the edema is moved out the blood circulation can return and the body can heal itself.
Garnet Toll is the Mother of a child that has been diagnosed as ADHD. Garnet started treating her son at night while he slept by hooking up the NeuroCare Cranial Electrical Stim (CES) unit to his earlobes. Her son is now completely off his ADHD medications and is reported as being totally different and poised and calm at school by his teacher. Garnet also discusses her concerns regarding the potentially dangerous toxic side effects of the long term use of ADHD drugs on her child's liver.
While Garnet credits the NeuroCare Microcurrent CES Protocol with the positive results her son has experienced, there is no guarantee that any other ADHD patient will experience the same positive results.
Garnet, the mother of an ADHD child who is now off his Meds after the NeuroCare Microcurrent Cranial Stim Treatment Protocol, shares how the treatments have improved their lives. Remember that the reporting of these results here does not in any way claim or guarantee the same results for other patients with similar conditions.
Garnet, the mother of an ADHD child continues her success story crediting the NeuroCare Microcurrent Cranial Stim treatment Protocol for getting her child off of his meds that she and her Doctor were concerned could eventually damage her sons liver. Her son is now med free. There is no guarantee that any other patient with similar conditions will experience the same results.
Steve had a ski accident 20 years ago and has had chronic back pain ever since. Steve has had three surgeries and has seen 20 Doctors for his back pain in the last 20 years and not one has ever discussed back spasms or the soft tissue issues with him. the right side of Steve's back is clearly in deep spasm and is hard as a rock while the left side is spongy and full of edema. This is a classic case of muscle strength imbalances caused by the initial ski accident trauma causing one side of his back to "Complain" that it is doing all of the heavy lifting and compensating for the weaker side by going into spasm and involutarily contracting, thus shortening and pulling on the surrounding skeletal system like a tightened string pulling on a bow. To manipulate such a spine and reposition it without addressing the underlying soft tissue issues is hacking at the leaves of the problem without addressing the core imbalances that are at the root cause of the problem.

Steve After His First NeuroCare Treatment
Notice that after his very first treament Steve's muscle spasms on the right lumbar region of his low back have relaxed allowing the involuntary shortening of the contracted muscles to relax resulting in less pull on his spine with a visible straightening of his spine in that region obvious in the post treatment video. Steve acquired a system on the spot after his first treatment.
Mel Sears, MD has used multiple NeuroCare units in his practice for several years. In this telephone audio interview, he explains his great results and says that his results with NeuroCare are far superior to any treatment he has given in office on DC output ElectroStim system costing nearly 7 times as much as the NeuroCare System. Dr. Sears says his patients also prefer the NeuroCare treatments over the more expensive systems treatments and he claims that his outcomes are far superior with a wide range of patients.
