Making the treatment most effective.

Pain is caused by irritated nerves. Nerves and

the sensation of pain are controlled, at least

partially, by the tissue which surrounds the nerve –

called the perineural tissue. For the perineural

tissue to work and bring pain down, it needs a good

supply of electrons. These are low in many

people. To compensate for this, there are earthing

mats in my waiting room.

If possible, please come 15 minutes before your

appointment and use the earthing mats. Instructions

are on the table in the waiting room or I will be

happy to show you how to use them. There is no

charge to use the earthing mats and they may help

to make the treatments more effective and reduce

your pain sooner.

Electrons are also used by many other tissues

and processes in the body so building up your

electron stores will also help keep you healthier.

And if you would like to learn more about how this

works, there are books in the small bookshelf for

you to look at while in the waiting room.
