Electronic muscle spasm relief
The Calypso Rx from Viatek is billed as a way to ease muscle pain without a prescription. Unlike other kinds of electrostimulators, it uses high-voltage pulsed dc rather than ac. The ac stimulators mainly affect nerves while dc affect both nerves and muscles, Viatek says. The dosage is in microamps rather than the milliamps of current used in ac devices, the company says. The Calypso can go next to the skin in a variety of ways as, for example, built into a pair of socks.
