Micro-Z Stimulation Garment System
Ralph Sarlay
My name is Ralph Sarlay. I am a USMC Vietnam Vet. I have diabetes among other things. With type 2 diabetics I was having neuropathy pain any time day or night. I am under the care of the VA gladly they provided me with the Micro-Z sock stimulation system. I have been wearing them since July 24, 2015. They work 100%. I do NOT get neuropathy pain anymore. I now get a full night’s sleep with no more 2:00 am hot needles pain in my feet. NO pain all day.
I wear my Micro-Z stimulating socks for 8 hours every night. Clover Medical Solutions have given me exceptional customer service and support. With NO neuropathy pain, I can go places and do things with no fear. Thank you Clover Medical!

“I am an Air Force Veteran, and my feet were burning so bad that I thought I would lose them. The pain felt like needles going up and down my feet. I couldn’t walk more than 20 feet or drive because the pain in my feet and legs were so bad. I also had a very hard time sleeping. I have had this pain for almost 15 years from diabetic neuropathy.
Then one day when I went to see my Podiatrist at the VA, she said she may have something that could help me. The first night when I put them on, I couldn’t feel anything coming from the socks so I thought it was a joke. But the next morning when my pain was much better, I realized these really work.
I have been wearing the Micro-Z and silver stockings for almost 2 weeks now and my pain is at a ZERO. It was a TEN (10). Almost all the numbness in my feet and legs are gone except for one spot on the bottom of my foot.
I feel like I can run now. I hardly use my walker anymore and I can drive again.
I also sleep much better, and my wife told me I am not the grumpy old man I used to be. Jesus is on my side, and I got my feet back.”

“My name is Sammy Ekker and I am an Army veteran. I have mitochondrial myopathy which caused the peripheral neuropathy I have in both my legs. I have had pain, numbness and cold sensations in my feet and legs for over 15 years and started on Gabapentin about 10 years ago. The pain in my legs felt like pins and needles and would go up to a 9 at times.
Since I started using the Micro-Z stimulation garment system about 3 months ago, my pain is almost non-existent, some of the numbness in my feet is going away so I can feel the floor again, my balance is better, so I hardly need my cane anymore (just for safety not so much for walking) and I no longer have the cold sensations in my feet.
I used to wake up in the middle of the night from the pain which kept me up for at least 2 hours at a time, but I no longer have this problem. Three months ago, I was on 3000mg of Gabapentin but now I am down to 1500mg. The medication made me sleepy during the day, which was also affecting my sleep, so I am hoping to get off of the medication completely in a couple months. Now that I am feeling so much better, I started a new exercise program so that I can get my strength back and get back to my life.” Sammy

I had a fall and broke my wrist in three places. I was in a cast for ten weeks. When I started occupational therapy, my hand was slightly curved and completely swollen. It hurt to be touched. When the therapist started working on my hand, you could hear my screams of pain all the down the hall. One of the other patients was a minister. He came over and put his hand on my shoulder and said, “it is going to be all right”. At the time, I wanted to hit him but he had just lost a leg and I know he was just trying to comfort me.
The next time that I returned to the hospital for therapy, the check-in clerk asked me, “you mean you came back?” I told him that I wanted to get better and will make it through this, tears and all. My therapist took me across the hall and consulted with a hand specialist. The hand specialist told her that my hand looked like I had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). I had to go through a series of painful testing to find out that her diagnosis was correct. Not is is called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), but all of the symptoms are the same.
My therapist worked with me for hours three times a week. One day she attended this class and came back so joyful that she almost burst into tears trying to get the news to me. She said she had something that may help me. I told her that I would try anything to relieve the pain. I was introduced to Chris Neubecker, Corporate Trainer for Clover Medical Solutions. He pulled out a glove, and armband, some spray and a toy looking thing that had leads on it. I thought they were going to try to electrocute me now. We could barely get the glove on because of the swelling in my hand. I asked if I should have a larger size and was told that the size is correct. I had to take pain medicine to get the glove on but the treatment always made me feel better.
My glove traveled where I traveled. I can remember sitting on the balcony of my cabin when I went on my birthday cruise in September 2013. I did not leave home without it. I would watch the water while the glove did the healing. The glove had become my best friend. I could feel the results. I could SEE the results. I was so excited to tell my therapist, “look at the wrinkles on my fingers!” One guy in the room wanted to know why I was happy about getting wrinkles. I told him that my fingers had been swollen so long that I had no wrinkles or lines on them. Now they were back.
When I chopped vegetables for the first time in a year, I had to write a letter to the Supervisor of my therapist. To my surprise, the letter went all the way to the head of the hospital. That was also the first time I could use both of my hands to type a letter. I have come a long way from not even being able to hold a fork in my hand to help cut up meat.
I know I have referred to the “glove” a lot but I should mention the correct name of the system that helped me so much. It is the Micro Z Mini. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It has helped me get my life back together. I had to wear pull-up clothes for a while because I could not fasten buttons. There are so many things in my life that changed when I did not have the use of my left hand. With the help of the Micro Z Mini, I am getting my life together again.
I wear the back wrap for 8 hours a night and in just a few weeks my pain has gone from 10 being the worst to a 0, no pain and no spasms at all. With the electrodes for my shoulders I wear those 30 minutes twice a day. My pain has gone down from a 10 to a 6. My knees sleeves I do the same twice a day for 30 minutes and the pain is down to a 7. I am increasing the time on my shoulder and knees to drop the pain even more. I keep in contact with the clinical educator and any questions I have are answered.
I have stopped taking all pain medication. I only take over the counter Tylenol as needed. It is truly a different world for me. I have such a better quality of life now. I am a wife and a mother who now can enjoy going out in the community with the family. The see the improvement and love the fact that mom is getting better. I am so happy I have found something that works for me. I am happy to be part of the Micro Z family. All I can say is don’t give up, give it time and do it right.
It has been an amazing help. It eases the pain, and I would much rather use it than take pills. Sometimes, I even wear it to bed at night. I just set it at full throttle—that’s the level that works best for me—and it automatically turns off after 20 minutes. My son just had an operation on his knee, and now he uses it, too, and adjusts it for his comfort. I’m very happy with the results. It works really well for both of us.
I have played sports all my life and have tried many treatments in the past for injuries. I firmly believe that using the Micro-Z system for 8 hours at night really helped me with my recovery. The treatment really controlled my pain and as a bonus I also noticed that the significant bruising in my leg went away very quickly.
Diagnosis: Idiopathic Neuropathy
I am a U.S. veteran and I have been suffering from peripheral neuropathy of unknown cause for over 10 years. The pain extended from my toes to my knees, and it felt like pins and needles in my legs and I would get burning and stabbing pains in my feet.
My pain used to go to up to a 10 on a scale from 1-10, especially when driving. After one month of use my pain pretty much went away. Also, before wearing the garment system my legs were constantly restless and I couldn’t find a comfortable position to sleep. Now I wear them almost every night and they are very comfortable, and now I do not have any pain. Tony Rossin
