Dynatronics Corporation, a technological leader in physical medicine, is pleased to introduce the Dynatron STS™, a revolutionary advancement in the treatment of chronic pain. The Dynatron STS is the culmination of years of clinical experience and research by a group of Texas physicians. Using a non-invasive treatment known as Sympathetic Therapy, the Dynatron STS has proven to safely provide symptomatic relief to a significant number of patients suffering from chronic intractable pain.

The treating physician prescribes Sympathetic Therapy treatments when the patient has a significant probability for moderate to significant relief of chronic pain with this therapy. Daily clinical treatments are required to establish efficacy of the treatment and to arrive at the most effective protocols for this patient. After a series of clinical treatments have been undertaken and it has been confirmed that the patient is responding positively to the treatment and the optimal protocols have been established, a home unit, the Dynatron® STS Rx™, may be prescribed to facilitate treatments over an extended period of time and, in some cases, indefinitely.
Clinical Treatments With over 300 treatment protocols to choose from, the clinician will select the most appropriate protocol based on multiple factors including the location and severity of the pain. Adjustments to the treatment protocols will continue to be made on a daily basis until the optimal treatment regimen is determined.
At each clinical visit, the patient completes an evaluation form to allow the clinician to see how the patient is responding to the treatments and to make adjustments to the protocol as necessary. In addition to tracking pain levels, information on medications, sleep and level of ambulation are also recorded.
Home Treatments The Sympathetic Therapy program provides chronic pain patients with a long-term solution for treating their pain at home. Home treatments provide convenience to the patient and allow the patient to treat as needed. Because the Dynatron STS Rx is a prescription device regulated by the FDA, it may only be dispensed under the order of a physician.
Once effectiveness has been proven, correct protocols established, and a home unit secured, the patient will be instructed in the application of their specific protocol and the operation of the device. The patient will be advised as to safety issues and restrictions limiting the device to their own personal use. The patient may then proceed with home treatments which continue to be under the supervision of the clinician. If necessary, the patient may return to the clinic periodically for a follow-up visit to adjust the protocol or receive additional guidance in delivering the treatments at home. Experience has shown that ongoing daily treatments are necessary to achieve maximum pain reduction.
Patient Tracking Software The software tracks the patient's reported pain score, with 10 being the most severe pain and 0 being pain-free. When the patient reaches 30% improvement in the pain score, the system automatically generates a progress report. The report shows initial and current pain scores along with information about the patient's medications and daily activities. Progress reports may be printed at any time as desired.
