I had treatment @ Novocur a year ago this August for lower back pain. Prior to the treatment I constantly had to wear pain patches or take something for the pain on a daily basis. I had three treatments and as of today (almost a year later, I am pain free). I would not hesitate recommending Novocur to anyone with pain issues. Not only was it a positive experience, the treatment was pain free. I was not put under any sedation and was able to walk out with no assistance. If you are afraid of needles, I would recommend you giving them a call.
