“Doctors were certain I would be bound to the wheelchair for good.”
“But I’m back on my feet again, feeling stronger than ever all thanks to this 'zappy back savior'!”
“I hope by sharing my story to the world, more people can find relief from chronic back pain, even for those who lack access to healthcare!”
Coming from Pakistan since 1953, immigrant Jamal had seen it all – from JFK presidency years to America’s victory in the cold war.
Though life was hard in this country he calls home, he was fiercely proud to be here where he truly felt belonged and dedicated his life’s work to building with sweat and tears.
As an undocumented immigrant, work opportunities were slim for Jamal. He lived from mouth to mouth, accepting hard work and relished in it.
He always took pride in his odd labor work, toiling for the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway and later in skyscrapers such as Willis Tower and New York Times Building.
“It was a real privilege to have a hand in building up the country. I only have fond memories as every build is special to me.”
“I just feel proud knowing I played a part in making America great, however tiny it is!” – Jamal
Though still recognized as an Alien status the entire time, he was convinced there was no place for him to be, except here. Then one day, it all changed.
While working on a construction site, lifting heavy cement bags, that was when he heard a crack followed by sharp lower back pain. He couldn’t carry on and was quickly sent to the hospital.
But before entering the Emergency Room, doctor asked about co-pays or other insurance coverage, which he didn’t have any. So, the doctor had no choice but to refuse him full treatment.
There was nothing Jamal could do about it, as he simply couldn’t afford to pay out of his own pocket, not even for a wheelchair.
Reluctantly, he discharged from the hospital while still in a lot of pain and had to make do with a self-fashioned crude walking stick.
He sought medical attention at other facilities but the outcomes were all the same. None could deliver the treatment he badly needed unless Jamal fork out tens of thousands of dollars.
“Considering my old age at 67, doctor warned my condition will continue to decline.”
“There was also risk I’ll be paralyzed from the waist down. He was right. Gradually, the pain became more intense and painkillers were my only solution.”
“I woke up each day hoping for a miracle but my back felt like it had given up.” – Jamal
After once again he got rejected by another specialist, Jamal could no longer control his emotions as he sat at the curbside and started crying.
A young medical officer who walked pass him took pity. He tried to console Jamal and got to know what happened. His story deeply touched the medical officer who felt gratitude of his contributions to the country.
He reached into his pockets and pulled out a device. It was a low-cost device he had been working on with his patients. It had seen success and he wanted Jamal to have it.
“I was a little skeptical at first but the young man was convinced that it’ll help to relieve back pain and aid rehabilitation. So with nothing to lose, I started using it on my back.”
“It's packed with user-friendly features including 8 massage modes: Cupping, Acupuncture, Stroking, Weight Reducing, Scraping, Manipulation, Massaging, Immunotherapy.”
“For 15 minutes a day, I used each mode at various levels of intensity. Amazingly after just 2 days, the discomforts were almost gone! Then what happened next was nothing short of miracle.”
“One week later, I could walk for hours and hours, pain free! I could bend, run, jump like I was in my 30s again. Even the doctors were amazed by my recovery!” – Jamal
Jamal decided to reach out to the young medical officer who was ecstatic to see Jamal walking again. He also went on to explain what makes the device so effective.
The massage instrument is called e-Meridian™, an electronic muscle stimulator (EMS) based on the Chinese Meridian Theory.
e-Meridian™ generates pulse waves through its electrode pads to relax and strengthen muscles around injured areas.
In Jamal’s case, as back pain limits physical activity, this leads to loss of protective muscles over time and further decreases mobility needed for recovery.
e-Meridian™ can help tone the surrounding muscles to restore strength and movement in a natural state.
It is perfect for elderly and anyone with chronic pain at different parts of the body like neck, shoulder, arm, back, knee. Many competitive athletes also use it to speed up recovery.
“Had I met this young man and knew about e-Meridian™ sooner, I wouldn’t have to endure so much pain.”
“It’s always the people here who are full of kindness like him that reminds me why I fell in love with U.S. in the first place.”
“Despite the disparities that exist in the healthcare system, it just goes to show all hopes are not lost. Helping hands are everywhere around us.”
“Now, every time I see someone with back discomforts, I’ll be so eager to share with them my story. Because I am the living proof that e-Meridian™ works!”
“So, go ahead and try this out. You have nothing to lose, except all you pain.” – Jamal
