That sounds suspicious. I know that in the 19th century there were all sorts of electrical devices that just had a bit of current going through them, but were testing devices or cure-alls supposedly. Electricity was a mysterious, miraculous sort of thing to people at one time.
Since most doctors couldn't have an original or creative thought if their lives depended on it, yet they're seen as miracle workers and expected to be, the response of quite a few has been to invent more credible-sounding devices that may not hurt you but don't necessarily have any useful application either, at least not to all the patients they use them on. I think they depend on the patient not applying her/his own basic logic and not asking questions.
