Three Reasons to Use Moist Heat Therapy for Fibromyalgia Pain Management

Posted by Brandon Landgraf · August 02, 2019

With fibromyalgia, patients experience pain and stiffness in the muscles, but there are no measurable findings on X-rays or lab tests. Typically muscle pain is accompanied by fatigue, sleep problems, and anxiety or depression. Many people with fibromyalgia find that their symptoms and quality of life substantially improve as they identify the most effective pain relievers and make lifestyle changes. This often includes using treating fibromyalgia with pain relief medicine that can have significant long term side effects and risks involved. Applying Moist Heat is a great way to help manage Fibromyalgia muscle pain.

TENS Therapy: What it is and How it Works

Posted by Fahad Ali · August 02, 2019

TENS therapy, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation therapy, is a non-invasive and low-risk device that uses electric currents to stimulate nerves to relieve pain conditions. Electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area send impulses of varying frequency and intensity to treat either short term or chronic pain. It is a great pain management alternative for those who are wary of drugs or other possibly addictive painkilling methods.

Four Mobility Benefits of Quad Canes

Posted by Fahad Ali · August 02, 2019

If you or your loved one is looking for a way to be more mobile and independent, there are many options to consider. When choosing a cane, it is essential to look at the different types and pick one that is suitable to your lifestyle. Many people often struggle when deciding between a quad cane, and a single tip cane. A quad cane has a similar shaft and handle as a single tip cane but has a larger, 4 pointed base that allows for more stability and ease of use for daily living.

Handy Tool for Sciatica Relief

My new TENS 7000 rechargeable unit is a great addition for me to manage sciatica flares. I like that it is rechargeable and compact. Unit was recommended by my PT and I’m glad to have it.

YES!!!

Just say yes to this great machine. It is small and very easy to use. The rechargeable battery lasts forever. Works just like my chiropractors. I used before and am using after hip replacement surgery. My surgeon highly recommends stimulation therapy. Customer service is amazing too.

My 7000

This new tens 7000 is a replacement for my previous 7000. Mo older unit I have had for years. Finally only one half of the lead would “fire” switched pads, leads and channels with no luck on getting the old one to work. Ordered this new 7000. It works wonderfully. I have severe spine pain from stenosis and neck surgery. Couldn’t make it without the relief I get from this wonderful product.

Great unit!

We like the portability and rechargeable aspect. TENS by far makes the best products. Every part of it is quality including the pads. I wish there were more easily understood instructions on how to adjust the settings for laypeople, but we are figuring it out. I am so grateful for this unit. It’s used every single day in my home.
