Device used as an alternative to fusion surgery

URBANA – For Tamara Filer, a bank employee in Vandalia, the pain started last July after she used a big paper cutter at work.

Her left shoulder and arm hurt like never before, she said.

After several visits to a chiropractor, she felt the pain subsiding – but then it was back again suddenly, with a vengeance.
