Do you wake up with sore neck ,shoulders and back??.

50% of respondents to this question answered "Yes"!
I, too, would have answered "Yes", a couple of years ago, but not anymore. I tried everything from medications, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy which provided some relief but after a few days, back to the uncomfortable ache. Finally, I saw this product in an occupational health magazine.

So I ordered and tried it. After one night of use, I woke up the next morning, missing what I was accustomed to awaking up to, for so many years - the irritable, gnawing, slow to get rid of, Neck Pain, shoulder and back pain. I feel so refreshed in the mornings now. So what is this product you may ask?

"92% of my patients think it's great,not just good but great I have never recommended an orthopedic product with so much confidence." Dr. E. Lubberdink,D.C. Toronto, Canada

It is the Thera-p- cradle and the Thera-p-petite-cradle pillow (for women and children), and doctors, physiotherapists and other professionals are recommending it. If you want to know more, please click here.

The Final Frontier - Conquer Pain

People react differently to pain? Perhaps you can identify with these adjectives, - grouchy, sad, irritable,angry, mad, discouraged, cranky, unsociable, stiff, listless and hurtful.

What is commonly referred as chronic pain? They include headaches, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritic pain, neurogenic pain (peripheral or central nervous system pain)and psychogenic pain


Treatment (excluding medication therapy)
Acupuncture, local electrical stimulation,brain stimulation, psychotherapy, relaxation, biofeedback and behavior modification are some.

What is the prognosis?
According to NINDS, scientists state that advances in neuroscience will lead to better treatment for Chronic Pain. In my humble opinion, I have already seen positive results of some non-invasive therapies for chronic pain.(NINDS-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)

Research
NINDS have 50 research studies or clinical trials at present, some are already in progress while others are awaiting funding, etc.

Recent research has shown that people with chronic pain had lower than normal Endorphins (the body's build-in pain-killer)in their spinal fluid. When an Electrical Impulse or Acupuncture stimulates the nerve endings, the Endorphin system is activated and relieves the pain.


You must have heard this phrase "Crippled with Pain." If we find out how to manage pain then, we should share it with others as there is far too much Needless Pain in our communities. Contact me (Click on Comment) to know more of some new and some old therapies that can bring you COMFORT.

New website has been launched

This was one of the more challenging task but with God's help it has been accomplished. Still am manovering through some parts of the site. It is a short web-site.

I have kept the same name of my previous website but almost everything else is different.
It was designed to bring comfort and enhance your hope for all who visit it. How many of you can say that you don't need your lives to be transformed. I do believe that transforming life begins with transforming your wholistic health. (i.e physical, mental, spiritual and emotional-psycho-social ) Pain management and counselling are documented
Also in my webpage you will see some pertinent articles I have written. Please do leave your comment in my guestbook.
Till the next time
