Entertainment couple Richard and Roni Merk had a much-publicized physical ordeal that happened early last year. The country’s premier jazz artist got into a car accident that left him in a debilitating condition.

Richard’s right foot was nearly amputated, if not for a diabetic wound expert who saved it. Still, he was bed ridden and immobile for a year. He even gave up performing, much against his will.

Meanwhile, Roni underwent colon surgery that sidelined her from engaging into any physical activity for several months. She had to wage a battle against the Big C, but is now cancer-free.

Thanks to Medsonix Therapy, Richard and Roni are feeling the positive effects of their sessions and have agreed to do it on a regular basis as part of their healing and recovery journey. Richard is already out of the wheelchair and he and Roni are enjoying more mobility now.

The therapy, offered only at Clinica Manila in SM Megamall, was introduced into the country by Ateneo Graduate School of Business professor Enrique M. Soriano early last year.

Medsonix was developed over 10 years ago by Alphonse Cassone of Las Vegas, Nevada. Cassone has experimented with sound waves for the past 15 years and was able to create a US-Food and Drug Administration registered device that uses low frequency sound waves to increase blood flow, decrease inflammation, pain, and relieve the symptoms of various medical problems.

Non-invasive, drug-free, pain-free
The Medsonix Acoustic Resonating Therapy is a non-invasive, drug free, pain-free, prescription-free, safe and effective method of relieving pain and discomfort, now available in the Philippines.

Among the many medical conditions that can be helped by the Medsonix Therapy System are arthritis, bursitis, migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, back and joint pain, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, lupus and peripheral vascular disease.

For every 30-minute session, Medsonix patients can simply sit, relax and absorb the low frequency acoustic pressure waves generated by the Medsonix Therapy System.

No preparation time is necessary. Patients do not need to disrobe or take in anything. The therapeutic procedure is safe, pain free, completely non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical. The acoustic wave form generated by Medsonix does not interfere with a pacemaker, pain pump, other implanted or electrical devices.

Medsonix Therapy is available at Clinica Manila, second floor SM Megamall Building A. For inquiries and appointments, call (+632) 730-3237 or (+63) 947-5951524 or e-mail [email protected]
