Recently one of the leading drug manufacturers pulled Vioxx, (one of the most popular pain medications) off the market. Why?? Because of adverse side affects, including deaths.
This decision left millions of people world wide looking for other forms of treatment with their chronic pain therapy. According to the APF (American Pain Foundation) more than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Some due to injuries and some to various diseases such as arthritis, tendonitis, chronic back pain and more.
Many people, who have suffered with a chronic pain condition, may never find that magic potion they are looking for, and will have to live with their unpleasant chronic pains for the rest of their life.
Patients with chronic pain will try almost anything to get even a small amount of pain relief. Pain relief products include such items as shoe insoles, jewelry, magnets, supports and braces just to name a few. Most of us have tried similar products at one time or another. Did they ever give you that lasting relief you expected when you purchased it? Probably not.
Hypnosis has been used for centuries to help relieve pain. Oriental herb patches, salves, and ointments have given relief to some patients.
Acupuncture may be your choice for pain relief. Review the dangers of contaminated or broken needles, punctured organs and excessive bleeding should be considered. Weigh the pros and cons when consulting your professional. Also keep in mind that surgery may be your only option.
Pain can't always be totally eliminated; however, pain can be somewhat managed and controlled. Any relief you get, may help you to get back to some form of normalcy. Even mild exercises has proven effective to relieve chronic pain.
No single method of pain therapy can guarantee relief in every case. Every person responds differently to any type of pain treatment. It's your pain, you must take control and decide which method of treatment you are comfortable with.
Various medications has been introduced which has benefited many patients. Some of these non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be purchased over the counter. Other drugs will require a prescription from your Doctor. Many such drugs have lengthy warning labels listing the severe side affects of that drug. Do you as a layman understand all that medical terminology? I would doubt seriously that you do. You must decide if the side affects warrant the usage of such harsh chemical drugs.
What has not worked for you in the past, most likely will not work for you in the future. Do not ignore your pain. By ignoring your chronic pain, you may be putting a negative impact on your overall health. Before making any drastic change to your prescription pain management, consult your Doctor. Weigh as many of the benefit and risk options before choosing any pain management. You have the right and responsibility to make the choice. It's you pain. Take control.
There is currently a growing interest for quality drug-free treatments for chronic pain in the medical community. Research has shown that low-frequency charges have been used effectively in many cases. The concept is as follows.
The electrical current sends mild electrical impulses along the nerve paths to the brain, which releases endorphins of the body. The endorphins are your natural defenses against pain. In essence this should help the body heal itself.
The TENS hand held massager is what I am referring to. This powerful unit offers the user the options to place the adhesive pads in the painful area. You know where you hurt, so treat that area of the body. Don't mask the pain with drugs.
A 5 button control panel allows the user's to adjust the sensation and intensity to the users choice. There are over 30 different combinations of settings. You are always in control.
Similar technology has been used for years in the professional arena. Doctors, chiropractors, physical therapist, sport trainers and massage therapist still rely on.
The TENS unit, does NOT require a Doctors prescription. The cost is a fraction of what other similiar massage units cost. If you have ever used a TENS unit you will love the proformance of this latest state of the art bio-electronic medical marvel.
Install the nine volt battery (which comes with the unit) and the unit is ready to use. Get relief from most aches and pain in 20 minutes or less. Carry it with you and let TENS massager give you the relief you deserve.
