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.

TENS 700

The TENS 7000 has been helping me so much with my chronic shoulder pain and frozen shoulder. Whenever I start to feel sore I put it on and it seems to help relax the area enough that I can do my exercises. And I don't have to worry about replacing batteries, I just plug it in each night. Thank you so much!

Appreciate the info on line on use and positioning of the electrodes. Pretty easy to set up and I'm finding the battery usage is not as bad as I've seen in online reviews.

I thought the patches were in the case. I need more patches.

Before, I was always worried about my oxygen level. Now I can keep track of it, and it is a great relief!
