Background:

A Promising Athlete’s Life Turned Upside Down

In November 2023, Nicholas, an active 9-year-old Taekwondo student, suffered a seemingly routine ankle injury. Within weeks, his pain escalated beyond normal healing patterns. X-rays and MRIs showed no structural damage, yet he developed severe allodynia (pain from touch) and functional decline. By March 2024, after months of worsening symptoms, he was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

CRPS spread beyond his ankle to his temples, knee, bladder, and arms, leaving Nicholas in relentless pain, hypersensitive to sound, and often unable to walk. His childhood activities, school, sports, and play were replaced with immobility and suffering.

Conventional Treatments Attempted

  • Orthopedic care (boot, rest) → Worsened pain and allodynia.

  • SPERO Clinic (Arkansas, 20 weeks) → Regained ability to walk, but flares and hypersensitivity persisted.

  • Brain training (Florida) → Some short-term benefit, but fragility remained.

  • Scrambler Therapy (October 2024) → Ineffective and painful, causing further trauma.

By late 2024, Nicholas had lost trust in medical treatments. His pain was so severe that he reverted to crawling around the house.

Discovery of The Oska Pulse

In November 2024, Christina discovered PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) while researching CRPS and bone density issues. Stories from other CRPS patients led her to The Oska Pulse.

On November 21, 2024, she introduced the device to Nicholas. Skeptical and weary of painful therapies, Nicholas refused at first, so Christina quietly placed the Oska device near him while he slept or watched TV.

Within three weeks, small improvements were noticeable: fewer flare-ups, more stability in the mornings. Once Nicholas recognized these changes, he began using the device willingly.

Healing Journey with The Oska Pulse

Early Phase (Weeks 3–12)

  • Pain in shin/calf (level 6/7) dropped to 0.

  • Began rotating devices across foot, spine, and head for 15–18 hours per day.

  • Mood and stability improved.

  • Hearing sensitivity started to ease.

Breakthrough Phase (Weeks 20–27)

  • The final major flare occurred at week 20—afterward, pain levels steadily dropped.

  • By Week 24: No more pain, only dull sensation in the foot.

  • By Week 27: Swelling resolved for the first time since his initial injury.

Nicholas celebrated by walking nearly 10 miles at Disneyland pain-free.

Continued Progress (January – June 2025)

  • At 16–22 weeks: Pain fluctuated between 6 and 2, but steadily decreased.

  • At 24 weeks: Pain absent unless prompted, suggesting psychological residue rather than physical.

  • By 31 weeks (June 2025):

    • Physical therapist astonished by accelerated healing.

    • Sensory nerves restoring (feet more ticklish).

    • Balance, stability, and activity level greatly improved.

    • Able to bike, swim, walk long distances, and play with his dog.

Notably, he was able to:

  • Jump in a bounce house for Mother’s Day 2025.

  • Score high marks on 5th grade state testing.

  • Walk two full miles around a lake in Arkansas, something once impossible.

Impact of The Oska Pulse

  • Pain Relief: Gradual, sustained reduction from extreme pain to remission.

  • Mobility Restored: From crawling to walking, biking, and playing sports.

  • Quality of Life: Regained independence, confidence, and joy in childhood activities.

  • Emotional Healing: Renewed hope after losing trust in conventional medicine.

Christina summarises it best:

“The Oska continues to heal him in ways we cannot see. It has given him his life back, and we are so very grateful.”

Conclusion

Nicholas’s story highlights the transformative role of The Oska Pulse in managing and healing CRPS, a notoriously resistant condition. Where conventional therapies failed or caused more pain, The Oska Pulse provided gentle, non-invasive, and consistent healing support.

For Nicholas and his family, the device was not just a treatment, it was a turning point that gave a young boy his childhood back.
