Date of first use of Arc

10th March 2016

Details of any improvements made whilst using the Arc

Since using Arc on a regular basis I have not experienced significant sciatica. Prior to using Arc I could hardly walk and was in constant pain 24 hours a day in spite of regular physiotherapy treatments. I have not suffered sciatic pain since using the unit.

Migraines – since using the unit I have gone from suffering at least one migraine a week to only suffering at times of incredible stress. I have had migraines my whole life.

Arthritis – Use of Arc appears to reduce the swelling around my joints. I have had significant improvement in my mobility since using Arc.

PTSD – When I first started using Arc I went through a period of not being able to stop crying. I felt like everything I had been holding inside me was finally free to come out. I was able to sleep better at night and instead of denying the traumas I have been able to face them and come to terms with the things that have happened in the last 18 months.
