CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. â Laura Brown, licensed physical therapist and massage therapist, celebrated the ribbon cutting for her practice's new location on Thursday. Brown, who also holds a state certification for a Women Business Enterprise, is the only licensed Calmare therapist in the capital region. Calmare, which gets its name from the Latin word for "calming," is a neuropathic therapy practice that is very popular in Europe but is only just starting to get attention in the US. It is a non-invasive, non-narcotic treatment for pain caused by inflammation. It uses a gentle electrical stimulation "system disrupter" process to reset the pain signals going to the brain. The practice is FDA-approved and currently in use at places such as the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins University.
