Male, C.W. 32 years old Fracture of the head of the humerus Fall on the shoulder whilst snowboarding, a week ago before coming for Interx treatment. A fracture was confirmed by X-Ray with the prescribed standard treatment to immobilize it with a sling. In order to speed up healing, this patient was treated with the InterX device. First, the area of the shoulder was scanned with 360PPS and area of exact projection of the fracture was identified and stimulated for 20 minutes, followed by treatment of the back of the neck and upper thoracic area (anterior and posterior aspect) to relax muscular spasm associated with mild whiplash injury. The patient was provided with the personal InterX Sport device and dual flexible array to cover (like a sandwich) the shoulder area. Home use treatment protocol was to use Preset 4 and apply the dual flex array to the shoulder for 20 minutes and back of the neck for 10 minutes, two – three times day. Progress was checked after a week of application, there was no sign of local inflammation such as swelling, redness, or pain. This patient did not experience pain through out the treatment process and recovered smoothly after [...]
Female, R.S. 64 years old diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Degenerative disc disease The patient suffered with degenerative back and disc disease for over 9 years, muscular atrophy on the lateral aspect of her left thigh following L2 dermatome from such prolonged compression on the associated nerve. She was walking with a significant limp as her left leg is shorter. However, her main complaint was on a severe and consistent stabbing pain in her left groin and knee when she was walking. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. On her first visit the pain was very intense 8 – 10 (VAS), especially when walking; she was depressed, overweight and suffered with poor sleep. She occasionally resorted to NSAID. After the initial assessment, the cervical zone was identified as the active region and treated with the Flex array, cycle 2, on the follow up sessions she received a treatment at the spinal root, the corresponding dermatomes L1/L2 and the contra-lateral side. By the end of the treatment course (7th and 8th treatments) her pain was significantly less 2 – 4 (VAS), without stabbing sensations when walking and with less limp. Her sleep improved. After two weeks break resumed the treatments with her personal InterX device [...]
Case study 3 : Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Male, 41 years old Fair health state, IBS in history 15 years, followed by a low back injury at age of 15, injury of cervical spine later in life.

Small improvement, still in pain. 2nd course of treatments (short, January) – HS techniques. 3rd course of treatments (long February/March) – HS, techniques, source points technique, for the first time local technique at the zone of pain – left SI joint. 4th course [...]
Case study 5 : Impingement syndrome, Male, 28 years old Good health state, Practising Power lifting sport almost every day, compete at the national level. Frequent injury, primary of the overuse nature. Not taking any medication. in past was taking anti-inflammatory and paracetamol when got injured. Diet is good, drinking plenty of water. History of the current injury: strained deltoid muscle and at the same session impinged his right shoulder. Pain is at high (8 – 9) inability to use the right arm, in particularly reaching something upwards. Observation/ palpation: oedema at the top of right shoulder, hot to tough, tender to palpation. Dynamic: difficulty in bringing the arm up and extending backwards. 1st treatment –local area scanning and focusing. Flex array on the neck zone; finishing up with dynamic treatment by bringing the arm up (do not treat extending backwards very acute injury). Resulted in a complete pain relief. 2nd treatment – two days later focused localised treatment and the dynamic treatment with Flex array resulted in a complete resolution of both injuries. Comments: the treatment has impact on a sleeping, more relaxed and quality sleep.

Female, G.M. 76 years old, OA case Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative condition. It can occur in any joint in the body, it is often in the knees and hips, but also frequently happens in the hands. OA is caused by breakdown of cartilage, with eventual loss of the cartilage of the joints. Cartilage covers the surface of the joint; when the cartilage degenerates, it becomes thin and the ‘wear and tear’ process causes local inflammation in the bone, so it becomes inflamed and local bony protrusions like a spur could cause sharp pains when the joint is moved. This especially occurs in people whose body ph is acidic and dehydrated. This patient came with severe aggravation of chronic arthritis in her carpo-metacarpal joint. This joint was very inflamed, painful (7 out of VAS) and restricted joint movement (only to 15º instead of 90º), hot, swollen and tender at palpating. InterX was used right on the joint, scan at 60PPS, target at 240PPS and Dynamic at 30 – 120PPS during 30 minutes + simultaneous use of the flexible array, Cycle 2 on her Cervical zone for 20 minutes. She was given to use the Personal InterX 1000 [...]
Male, J.W. 52 years old - Lymphadenitis A patient was presented with severe inflammation of the one of the lymphatic nodes under his chin. It was very painful both to touch and swallowing, swollen to the size of an egg: 3.0 x 4.0 cm, accompanied with mild fever and malaise. This patient is a therapist and used his professional InterX5002 Acute Presets directly on the swollen node and the back of the neck 3 times a day for 3 days, without the use of antibiotics. After an initial 3 days of treatments the inflammation went down and he felt much relief from pain and associated unpleasant symptoms. After 3 days, the patient treated once every day for 2 more days, by which time, the symptoms of discomfort had gone and the swelling reduced to 1.0 x 1.0 cm. Over the following 2 weeks the swelling gradually decreased in size, and by week four all symptoms had gone.
Burns are notorious for terrible pain, but more over, the burnt part of skin makes the body defenceless from environmental bacteria and most of the time complicated by secondary infection. That is why people have to go to casualty. Here is a case of myself, I must say, that this is my second serious burn. This one is a 2nd degree burn, which means that it is deep and blisters. The burn was from bubbling hot oil and clearly very sore. I used my personal InterX immediately following quick rinse with water. To engage all possible mechanisms for pain control, I had to use quite high intensity of pulsing current as well as using the highest signal frequency 480PPS. (Preset 4). Because the burnt area was small (fitted to the size of the electrode) I applied it directly to the burn, total treatment time 15 minutes. The pain and soreness disappeared. It was still sensitive to heat, but it didn’t bother me for another 2 hours. After two hours I treated the burn again with the same protocol, but for a shorter time – 10 minutes. The pain completely abated and I was able to touch it without any [...]
Male R. C., 40 year old – Sciatica A patient was presented with the exacerbated chronic lower back pain in the Sacral region with irradiation to the back of the left leg, producing a strong pain throbbing and burning behind the knee. Pain was aggravated when bending forward or in reaching out position. In his history he had a back condition from birth and later had an accident that resulted in fracture of the lumbar vertebrae. From time to time he suffered with typical sciatica pain. This time he has been suffering for about two weeks. His MRI two months prior to this aggravation showed degeneration of L1, disc degeneration, and protrusion of the disc at the S1 level. He was prescribed strong non-steroid pain medication that made him feel drowsy, but did not provide a full pain relief. Seeking resolution for his pain he decided to try InterX therapy. The first treatment he felt the pain subside, but pain relief didn’t last and the pain reoccurred after a few hours. The second treatment although pain temporarily reduced, later he felt worse. From that point and onwards he used the Personal InterX device to sustain pain relief. He had [...]
