Pain Reduction

Have skied 3 days in a row (unusual for me) with no pain while skiing.  As soon as I take them off and start walking up and down stairs in normal shoes, the pain is back...[My Wife] and our friends are now getting used to seeing a big smile on my face instead of a grimace while on the slopes.—B.B

After back surgery and years of chronic lower back pain, with CADS, I can finally ski for a whole day, pain free! This system adds tremendous support and stability to my legs and lower back - it allows me to ski faster with more confidence - I'm very grateful to have found it.—P. B.

I can ski all day, top to bottom with little stress or additional pain in my fake knees.  It was fate we met on the chair.   I'm a "born again" skier.  THANKS!—H. O.

Yesterday I tried out my CADS system for the first time, I was not optimistic.  I have had surgery twice on one knee and once on the other and after about 55 years on skis I believed my skiing days were over.  The results were absolutely fantastic...it was absolutely wonderful to ski without pain and I am now looking forward to another ten ski seasons.  Many thanks for your revolutionary contribution to skiing.—B.D.B.

I skied with CADS today and for the first time I had no pain in my knee. It was great! Can't wait to ski tomorrow. It really works.—A. S.

What my wife (above) did not say is that she has no cartilage in her knee and could not ski due to the constant pain of bone on bone. CADS effectively removed the stress on her quads and knee with the results noted. She made six runs the first day.

I tried them, also, and experienced no stress in my quads as well as improved edging with my skis. I highly recommend the system—it is simple to operate and definitely reduces muscle stress. While I have no leg or knee ailments, I nevertheless bought the system.—T. S.

Ski all day—no knee pain! I would not have believed it! Sold me the first run.—B. S.

Walter-Tony-Murray-After having torn ACL on one knee, and no cartilage in the other knee, I thought I'd never be able to ski for more than 2 to 3 hrs., well bless you no pain and skied all day. CADS are great, know what's next, tennis!!

Good Luck—B. P.

Yesterday I was ready to give up skiing, after many years, due to severe right knee pain. To–day I tried the CADS and was completely pain free, the skiing was a dream—the best ever! The CADS system has put a lease on my skiing life—THANK YOU!!—J.B.

Dear Walter,

I've found the "CADS'' to be helpful in relieving the pain in my knees. Until today my knees have been painful after skiing and after demo-ing "CADS'' for one day, I feel virtually pain free and I'm not at all tired.—B. McK.

Walter,

Demoed the CADS all day! Made a big difference in my skiing. I skied all day without knee pain and quad fatigue. My knee felt stable all day.—E. N.

Walter, When I got my CADS last year I hoped it would help my arthritic knee a little bit. It has helped a lot. I am able to ski longer without fatigue or pain. Skiing is easier on my knee than walking. Thanks for making skiing easier and much more enjoyable.

I have had CADS for one season. It is the greatest system in the industry. I say that because I can't ski without the system. The system alleviates the pain in my left knee. I am most grateful for CADS. I should be skiing with this system until I am 90 years-old.

Kindest regards,—P. B.

I was ready to give up skiing because of arthritis in both knees—resulting in severe pain.

One day on CADS changed my plans! This system really works! Murray showed me exactly how to use the system on the blue slopes here at Vail. He is first class!

Sincerely,—M. L.

I had experienced knee pain for 15 years. The CADS system is a wonderful relief and allows many extra consecutive days of pain free skiing. This system is a "user friendly'' modern miracle.

S. C.

I "hung them up'' 2 years ago due to bad knees. The system will add 20+ years to my skiing pleasure! No pain, lots of fun.—C. M.

Sorry Dr. E., but I believe I am the first Neurosurgeon to buy and use CADS (6 Mar 1992 at Beaver Creek). I agree with you that they work GREAT!! I have 2 arthritic knees (ap'd x 2) and I can now again ski all day and much less pain at night.—B. H.

"I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with my CADS...Having hurt my right leg three years ago I have not bee able to ski more than two or three hours, but yesterday I skied the full day—32 runs at Stowe—¼ with no pain. Dr. Steadman thinks the CADS are a good idea."—L.B.

"The device substantially reduces the pressure on my knee and makes it possible for me to ski longer and harder each day without the severe pain and discomfort I have experienced. It should...permit me to continue to enjoy skiing for additional years."—T.F.B.
