Another treatment which does not require experience or physiological
knowledge is using a magnetic wristband. I have anecdotal evidence of this
working.
We offer both wristbands and body modules and the combination of both seems
to give a faster resolution.

But, as always, find a source that offers a good money back guarantee. If
it doesn't work for you, get your money back and try another system. It is
usually difficult to be sure what is causing the pain and thus it is
difficult to be sure which system is the best treatment for any individual.
So suck 'em and see.

Best wishes
