TENS Unit

Relieve pain and chronic pain. A TENS unit sends electrical currents to the targetted part of the body. The electrical current gives a tingling or buzzing effect on the skin. Electrical impulses reduce pain signals going to the spinal cord and the brain. The TENS unit is safe and non-evasive form of therapy. Known to relieve sciatica pain. Used in moderate to severe cases of neuropathy. TENS unit is used to avoid or reduce drug therapy. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
treat the following conditions:

  1. period pain

Fibromyalgia Pain and Misalignment


Chronic pain affects the upper and/or the lower parts of the body. Some days are worse than others. Painfree living is a memory. But it doesn’t have to be. Let me tell you a secret. But first…
Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 4 million people in the US. Although 75 to 90 percent affected are women—Fibomyalgia also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups. It is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. (1)
Fibromyalgia is chronic, widespread pain and stiffness all over the body. It causes sleep problems fatigue and often emotional and mental stress. Sensitivity to pain is common—abnormal pain perception processing—. This specific pain lasts three months or longer. Many people experience this chronic condition for years before being diagnosed:
·        Fatigue and tiredness
·        Depression and anxiety
·        Problems thinking memory and concentration
·        Headaches and migraines
·        Tingling and numbness in hands and feet
·        Digestive problems
·        Pain in face or jaw
Possible Causes of Fibromyalgia
Recent studies suggest changes in the central nervous system-the brain, spinal cord, and nerves may be responsible for fibromyalgia pain. The spinal cord is responsible for function of the central nervous system and function of organs and mobility. When subluxated we have problems… (2)
Other Factors that could cause Fibromyalgia:
·        Autoimmune Diseases
·        Infections
·        Family History
·        Trauma
·         
Yes physical and emotional trauma has been linked to fibromyalgia. Help is available. Getting diagnosed for fibromyalgia pain is a step to actively finding relief. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. For more information...

Chronic Pain

Symptoms of disaster are silent. Misalignment worsens. Pian increases. Ailments are lurking. Be aware. One condition leads to another. Don’t be caught with the consequences of failing health. Let me show you the signs. But first…
Your fellow Americans want to increase mobility vitality and productivity like I do. The doctor says “keep moving” for many reasons. Would you be happy decreasing your pain and what inevitably comes next…
Pain. You feel your movement just isn’t right. Symptoms and health get worse sooner than later. “I was in bad shape with back pain. I was lucky to catch it and get help early. I wish I knew then what I know now.” Don’t let this phrase be what you say next month, six months or a year from now.
Identifying disabling misalignment is easier than you think. One hip is higher than the other. One leg shorter than the other. Maybe your spine twists to the right or the left. Possibly your head leans towards the right or left. (1) Maybe a little physical trauma, chemical forces, or stress have been in life. And don’t forget your neck is in jeopardy from texting. And…
As we age our body goes through changes. The body’s regenerative ability slows down. Think about how long that scrape, scratch, or bone fracture takes to heal compared to a few years ago. Age brings increasing degeneration of muscles joints and bones. It’s up to you to slow the process. Take action to improve your health now. It really is your decision. And you can do it. Take control today. And it's never too late!!
