Suffering From Myofascial Pain?
Do you know that skeletal muscle is the largest organ in our body? So, a muscle may develop pain or become dysfunctional at a given time. Myofascial pain is a common one caused by trigger points in a muscle. It may happen when a small or sensitive area is compressed. Derived from the term Myo means muscle, and fascial means fascia. In this condition, the pain is usually confined to a particular site. It can be in the form of acute or chronic pain. Acute pain may be resolved with simple treatments; however, chronic pain can worsen, and the symptoms can last six months or longer. Moreover, various factors can contribute to or lead to pain, such as traumatic events, repetitive or overuse of muscle, and structural or systemic factors.
Scrambler Therapy Treats Myofascial Pain!
Scrambler therapy is a pain management approach that blocks pain signals by sending non-pain messages to the brain. Our healthcare practitioners use Calmare® device and place small electrodes around the painful area on the patient’s skin. This sends brief and mild electrical signals through the body to the brain. These signals, in a way, “scramble” the message to the brain that indicates the pain in a particular area, then changes the message to no pain to the brain and begin the pain relief. The healthcare practitioner will create a plan that works in your best possible interest. There are no harmful adverse effects, and the patient can find relief depending on their pain intensity.
