The WilloMD Story
The WilloMD represents a breakthrough in emerging drug free pain management technology. In the mid-1980s our medical director had a number of patients who could not tolerate pain pills (or even an aspirin) due to the delicate condition of their kidneys. As a researcher, he began to investigate drug-free alternatives and began to notice measurable results in the technologies he was exploring. Often, he found joint pain results from toxic accumulation in the joint. This is known as Toxic Joint Syndrome (TJS). He reasoned that clearing the toxins could more quickly reduce pain. Often natural pathways need a boost to rid the joint of the toxicity. Medication may mask the pain but does little for the removal of toxicity. In the late 1980s he was joined by our co-founding CEO and our VP of Medical Affairs to form Physician’s Technology LLC. Their principal mission was to expand this technology as a safe and effective drug-free means to manage joint pain and enhance performance. The 5th generation WilloMD pain computer we have today was created from those early beginnings.
TJS is a big problem. It plagues over 80 million persons in the US alone. But, why do joints wear out? We are more active than ever in sports and other activities so our joints wear out sooner in life. Surprisingly, many “safe” sports place extraordinary stress on joints. A recent medical report revealed a golf swing can place as much at 4.5 times your weight in force on your front knee joint. That's 675 pounds for an individual of 150 pounds. More aggressive sports place even more stress on our joints. These are astonishing statistics and help us appreciate the abuse our joints endure with various activities.
Over time that stress can take its toll on our joints. The damage and resulting joint toxicity accumulates and reaches a point that it often creates constant dreadful and debilitating pain. Desperate and in pain, many persons resort to potentially dangerous and lethal medication. Millions spend an average of $375 per year out of pocket for various over the counter remedies with limited success. The lifetime cost of managing a painful knee joint is staggering. Some $30K - $50K is spent though insurance and personal funds from the onset of pain in one's early years progressing through the 5 clinical stages of TJS and often ending in joint replacement at 50-60 years of age. Even with surgery, pain may persist.
The WilloMD is a drug free solution for those adverse to pain medication, not eligible for surgery or are experiencing the post-operative effects. WilloMD users only have to strap the device on the knee or another joint, press the power button, and select from one to four the preferred level of energy to be delivered. The smart sensor technology collects data from the skin surface, computes and formulates treatment then transmits a digital prescription of energies through the skin. Often, the user feels mild warmth as the device turns off the pain signals and turns on the body's healing signals. This In turn reduces joint pain and swelling and promotes healing.
