SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electromedical Technologies, Inc. (OTCMKTS:EMED) (Electromedical Technologies or the Company), a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of bioelectronic devices, including the FDA cleared WellnessPro, designed to relieve chronic, intractable and acute pain by using frequencies and electro-modulation, is pleased to announce that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) has approved the Companys official symbol change to EMED (from ELCQ).

The stock will begin trading under the EMED symbol beginning today, September 4, 2020.

We are pleased to get this step accomplished because it helps to create a more coherent and cohesive public identity for our current and prospective shareholders, remarked Matthew Wolfson, Electromedical Technologies CEO. We have built something with truly game-changing potential for those in search of a better treatment process for chronic pain, which is an enormous market opportunity. And everything we can do to make our relationship with public market investors more seamless is a positive development helping to drive future growth.

This official stock symbol change follows a series of positive developments for the Company, including the establishment of a government VA FSS Contract (Number V797D-40250) allowing the Company to sell to any VA, DAPA, or government facility and the sale of 8,000 units of the WellnessPRO device, with customers including over 250 schools and universities using the Companys devices in athletic departments and research programs, as well as a number of professional athletes and sports teams in the NBA, NHL, and NFL.

The Company is also developing its next-generation product, the WellnessPro POD, which has been designed to address not only chronic pain, but new modalities using frequencies that naturally tap into the bodys electrochemical system without the use of potentially harmful drugs.

Given these advances, management felt the Companys prior stock symbol was an unnecessary impediment to the expression of a fully coherent public identity capable of creating a platform that will make sense as Electromedical Technologies continues to work to establish itself as the leadership solution in the rapidly growing Bioelectronic Medicine marketplace.
