  • Orthopedic Surgeon, Medical Researcher, Inventor of the Vortice Disc

    For more than forty years, Dr. A.B. Flick has been driven by one mission, to help people heal faster, naturally, and without pain. As an orthopedic surgeon and researcher, he’s spent his career exploring how the body’s own electromagnetic energy can be used to restore balance and promote recovery.

    That passion led him to a remarkable discovery: certain frequency patterns don’t just interact with the body, they activate it. They reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue healing in a completely natural way.

    Building on decades of research, Dr. Flick developed the Vortice Disc, a revolutionary device that uses nature’s own mathematical and energetic patterns to help the body heal itself. His work merges modern medical science with the innate intelligence of the human body, creating an innovative path forward for pain relief and recovery.
