Technology To Scare Your Pain Away

It doesn’t matter where your pain is located.  There is modern technology to scare your pain away.  The old fashioned remedies may work in some situations but there is little to replace the effect of modern technology to ease pain.

Wearable Pain Relief

If you have an injured elbow or knee, for example, there are fitted devices available on the market that can reduce the pain without the use of drugs.  Wearable pain relief is based on the technology of the TENS unit.  This involves using a small device attached to electrodes that can rid your body of wherever the pain happens to be located.  They make wearable pain relief based on this technology for the back, the legs, and the arms. 

They are basically form-fitted bands that have electrodes attached to them.  The electrodes are applied to the area of pain and the band fits snugly around the back or extremity.  The device is then turned on so that the electrodes can fool the pain fibers, distracting them from the pain.  These devices are portable and effective in relieving your pain.

TENS Unit Devices

A regular TENS unit can be applied to any part of the body experiencing pain.  The electrodes are attached to the painful part of the body and wires attach the electrodes to a device that is turned up according to the level of pain you are experiencing at the time.  You simply turn up the device, allowing the electrodes to apply trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.  Now this is technology to scare your pain away. 

TENS units can be purchased for as little as $199 or as much as $899, depending on the unit you purchase.  They are portable and some are wearable.  Some attach to your pants waistband, while others have a pouch that can be fitted around the waist.  The electrodes “buzz” on the skin, distracting the pain fibers so that you don’t feel the pain. Instead, you feel the slight “buzzing” sensation that is blocking the pain fibers from reacting.  This is non-addicting and there is no tolerance to this type of pain relief as you would find if you used narcotic pain relief instead.

Jade Heating Mats

Jade heating mats make use of far infrared ray (FIR) therapy to reduce pain deep within the skin.  They are basically mats that have real jade discs applied to them.  The jade discs are heated up to a specific temperature so that you can set the temperature you want the jade discs to be.  Many jade heating mats have an automatic turn off feature that turns off the FIR heat therapy after the recommended thirty minutes.

The advantages to the jade heating mat is that they use FIR heat that deeply penetrates the tissues up to a depth of three inches.  This is especially good for deep muscle pain that needs to be relieved of the tension in the muscles.  The cost of such a mat is about $90 to $120, depending on the mat size and the manufacturer.
