I just purchased the M1 and am looking for a protocol to start on both wrists. I injured my hands years ago by injuring the tendons in my wrists through processing warped plywood at a commercial furniture shop. I ended up having wrist surgery on both hands to relieve the compression on the nerves at the carpal tunnel area 8 years ago. Is there a protocol you would recommend that I start with? Are there specific protocols that other people are having success with in a similar situation for healing areas with scar tissue, tendinitis and nerve inflammation? Open to all kinds of suggestions. Thank You!
I started with Omni-8, Intensity=9, and worked up to minimum 8 hours a day.

Hey Taj,
Thank you! Where and how do you position the coils?
I would position them over the pain. Is it here? 
Yes, the pain appears to be in that area.
Do you prefer side by side placement over the area of pain?
I would start with side by side but then after 1 week try stacked coils or sandwiched coils. It does seem each person responds uniquely depending on the injury so it is important to experiment. Please report back your findings.

I’ve been using my new M1 device for about a week now and wanted to share an observation along with two questions.
I tried the Omni 8 protocol but noticed I seem to get more tension release when running protocol A9. When I place A9 at the base of my wrist, I experience a lot of tendon “popping” and “cracking” as I come off the session. It feels similar to how my body sometimes responds during acupuncture.
Question 1: I’ve tried looking into the A9 protocol but haven’t found much detail on the exact frequencies it uses. Could you share which frequencies are involved? I’d like to understand more about why my body might be responding so well to it.
Question 2: Since A9 seems effective for me, are there other protocols or frequencies you’d recommend I explore that may offer similar or complementary benefits?
Thanks in advance for your insight!

Tendon “cracking and popping” is actually quite common initially. I have experienced it myself. I think this is because ICES-PEMF reduces inflammation, which can destabilize joints and tendon guides initially, so things can slip in and out and sideways more easily until the connective tissue begins to recover and readjusts.
“Frequencies” - these are listed on the second page of the quick start card for the M1:
NOTE: please consider this fact carefully: there is no known connection between specific “frequencies” and specific biological effects. The deeper you dig, the more you will spin in circles trying to figure out why “A” causes “B”.
The reasons I offer different pulse patterns are explained all over this forum, so I will not repeat any of it here. Just get yourself a few meals, something to drink, sit down, search the term “frequency” on the forum, and settle in for a lot of reading.
After much chasing in circles for answers about “frequencies” that will ultimately yield no solid answers, the conclusion will be: some things seem to work well for some people for some specific applications. People have different individual responses. For any given individual and injury, the best approach is to try and see, record what you do and the observed results, and discuss your specific case and observations on this forum.
