Posted by OTCWholesale in OTC Wholesale | pain relief - (0 Comments)

The science of pain relief is not exact. Certain people may respond better to certain types of pain relief than others. Individuals have different body chemistries that may react in a variety of ways to different treatments. pain relieving gels

This is why it is so important to consult with your doctor when pursuing any form of pain relief. Additionally, you want to visit an online drugstore that offers the widest variety of products such TENS Units and pain relieving gels. These products provide specific forms of pain relief, so you should do you research before you commit to a product.

A TENS Unit provides non-invasive, drug-free pain relief. It sends small electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves, in order to adjust the user’s pain perception. A TENS Unit tricks the body into believing that it is not experiencing any pain, which thus offers a reprieve from acute or chronic pain.

Topical pain relieving gels also offer targeted relief to an affected area. Biofreeze, for example, is the most esteemed pain relieving gel in the United States. It provides long lasting pain relief from arthritis, sore muscles, back pain, and joint pain.

Pain Relieving Gels or Electrotherapy?

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief - (0 Comments)

muscle stimulatorManaging pain can sometimes be a difficult and daunting task. You’re not sure what products or treatment methods will work for you. What works for one might not be as effective for your pain. Do you go the medication route or try over-the-counter treatment instead? Pain relieving gels and electrotherapy are both viable options, but two very different paths for pain relief.

Pain relief gel, such as Biofreeze, are greaseless and stainless gels that will provide relief from minor aches and pains. Sore muscles due to arthritis, backaches, sprains, or strains will benefit from gels. Essentially, gels are better for acute pain, as opposed to chronic pain. If you have ongoing pain, apply gel everyday might temporarily alleviate some of that pain, but a much better solution would be some form of electrotherapy, either a TENS Unit, muscle stimluator, or portable ultrasound. These machines work best for those who suffer constant pain and need relief and choose not to opt for the medication route.

But each of these machines works a bit differently so do your research before choosing one. You can find out more information about electrotherapy at our blog or by visiting OTCWholesale.com.

Relief from Arthritis Pain

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief | TENS Units - (0 Comments)

TENS UnitArthritis is a joint disorder caused by inflammation of one or more joints. We typically envision older people with arthritis. And although it is much more common among elderly people, that doesn’t mean even the young can become afflicted with it. Arthritis isn’t limited to just the joints in our hands, which of course is a common spot. It can often be in the knee joints too. It’s actually one of the most common causes of disability in the U.S.

Typically the treatment methods include medication and physical therapy. Sometimes pain relieving gels are used too. But did you know that a TENS Unit can also help?  Arthritis is a chronic condition after all and that’s the exact purpose of the TENS Unit. It will block the pain signals to the brain, allowing you some much needed relief. Some people report pain relief for several hours while others may feel relief for far less, but it does reduce the amount of medication they need.

I cannot say that you will never need medication if you use the device for arthritis. It’s a case by case situation. But if you are looking for alternative treatment methods, see if a TENS Unit can help your arthritis pain.

Sombra for My Sore Back

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief - (0 Comments)

sombraAlthough I love working in an office and not standing on my feet all day, I must say it’s extremely bad for my body. Granted lifting heavy boxes at my old retail job wasn’t always great for my back, I am constantly repositioning myself in my chair all day long. My chair is far from being ergonomic and I even tried special pads to put on the back of my chair. They help quite a bit, but I’m still suffering from back pain –especially on my lower back.

The idea of going to the chiropractor every week is not appealing, whatsoever. Instead, I invested in Sombra –a pain relieving gel. Heating pads always work great too, but it doesn’t do much good if I’m not at the house. Sombra is actually sold by many chiropractors, massage therapists, and physical therapists which means I know I can trust this product. I can also trust this product because it simply works!

I just rub some of this cool gel, and by cool I mean temperature, on my back and I feel instant relief. I also keep a jar in the office in case my back starts to act up again. It also has a light scent so no one can even tell I’m using a special gel.

Tiger Balm for Muscle Soreness

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief - (0 Comments)

tiger balmAfter working out at the gym doing pull ups, rows, back extensions and dumbbell rows, I feel great. I’ve burned off all the stress that has accumulated in my body over the past twenty four hours and I have released endorphins that make me feel good about myself.

But the next day, even after eating a lot of protein before bed, I am badly sore. My muscles ache and burn and it feels like they are growing more compact and tighter. When I try to stretch them out it hurts and even with a routine of fifteen minutes after the workout, I wake up the next morning and it hurts when I stretch. It’s a good hurt, but it’s limiting. So I use Tiger Balm on them, which really makes it easier to function as I normally would.

I daub it on my shoulders and my back when I’m done lifting and it tingles and is a little cold but the next morning I feel ready to stretch and although my muscles are tender, they aren’t particularly sore or in pain. Pain relieving gels such as Tiger Balm are a great way to go hard on your body without feeling all of the repercussions. It’s kind of a trick, really, but it is a trick that works out for the best.

Reduce Muscle Pain With Stretches, Tiger Balm and TENS Units

Posted by OTCWholesale in OTC Wholesale - (0 Comments)

tens unitsMuscle pain is serious. Even if you’re otherwise healthy, it’s still possible to find yourself wincing after a deep breath or an awkward twist. While working your muscles can help prevent them from becoming weak and susceptible to pain, it’s also important to stretch them after doing your pull-ups and leg extensions. Tiger Balm and pain relieving gels can help the soreness of your muscles in conjunction with simple stretches such as the partial curl, which is a half sit-up; the cat and camel, which is when you kneel with your hands and knees on the ground; and the pelvic tilt in which you lie hands behind head and knees bent, and tilt your pelvis down toward the ground.

Muscle stimulators are another good way to strengthen back muscles in order to alleviate back pain. These are especially helpful if you are undergoing physical therapy or serious rehabilitation. TENS units stimulate nerves, which can help reduce pain. While they last forever, the electrodes need to be changed about every 15 or 20 treatments, which should be enough to make your muscles feel good again.

There are many different ways to alleviate muscle pain, depending on how serious it is. Start out stretching, add some Tiger Balm and move on to muscle stimulators. Soon you will have no pain at all.

Biofreeze: An Alternative for Pain Relief

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief - (0 Comments)

biofreezeLiving with chronic pain can be debilitating and even downright depressing. The aches, the sore muscles, the discomfort, the inflammation –it’s constantly on your mind and all you can do is pop a few aspirin every few hours and use products like Icy Hot and heating pads. If this routine of aspirin and heating pads has gotten old fast, it’s time to think about the alternative treatments and today we’ll discuss Biofreeze products.

What exactly are Biofreeze products? They are pain relieving gels that can be used for those seeking pain relief, people in therapy, or those looking for relief from exercising and training. This gel contains ILEX, which is an herbal extract from a South American holly shrub. I bet you’re thinking that rubbing gel is going to be messy and maybe a little gross. However, this gel does not use aloe, petroleum, waxes, or oils and therefore isn’t greasy. But does it have a pungent smell, like Bengay? Thankfully, no it doesn’t! The scent will vanish so no one, including yourself, will have to suffer from the smell of gel.

So whether you have arthritis, back aches, or sore joints, try using Biofreeze products before you take your 4th aspirin of the day.

Pain Relief: From Electrotherapy to Pain Relief Gels

Posted by OTCWholesale in pain relief - (0 Comments)

electrotherapyPain is serious. It is important to treat it properly, whether it throbs, shoots, or aches. Since pain can be of many different kinds, there are many different methods of treatment. Take for example, muscular pain. Muscle stimulators can help to exercise muscles that have been damaged, slowly repairing them without much physical exertion on your part. Muscles take time to rebuild and electronic muscle stimulation helps to speed the process. And with the voltage dial in your hands you can heal at your own pace.

Non-muscular pain can be treated with TENS units, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Units. Both TENS units and muscle stimulators work best when you apply a preparatory electrode spray beforehand. But these, unlike muscle stimulators, prevent muscles from contracting. And while TENS electrodes also uses electrical impulses to rehabilitate, they stimulate nerves instead of muscles. Silver Electrodes distribute electrical current more evenly throughout the pained area than generic carbon electrodes.

Among more mild methods of pain treatment, pain relief gels are useful. Biofreeze, Orthogel, Tiger Balm and Sombra are some of the more popular brands of pain relieving gels. All you do is rub them on the affected area and feel the relaxing cooling sensation.
