Has anyone heard of Anadyne or Anodyne treatments for stimulating nerve redevelopment. A former PT I've used (who is also a personal friend) thinks she can do "wonders" for my gait issue with this. She claims to have cured someone with drop-foot (I dont have drop-foot - it only looks that way at first look, but I have full muscle control of my foot)

If you do find anything out - from here or outside, update the thread please!

I'm sure lots of us would be very interested in hearing!

Did a quick look on the web.

It's "anodyne".

And it APPEARS to be a e-stim type thing... I say "type-thing" because I can't say how close or far it is to e-stim but that's what it reminds me of...

Just pop anodyne nerve into google and you''ll find tons of products to buy and lots of positive marketing material (of course, they go hand in hand).

I'll let you know - I will be out of town for a week with limited computer access (I hate my husband's computer it'll be enough to PCanywhere into the office with it).
But I'll update after -- From a science point of view - light energy penetrating the body sounds a bit like voudoo to me.
