ULTRASOUND: designed to heat the affected area and agitate very high frequency (100,000 Hz range) which requires the presence of an attendant to avoid tissue damage from the localized heating that occurs

T.E.N.S.: Simple acronym for transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation. The T.E.N.S. unit accomplishes two quite separate tasks. First, it provides a form of "microtrauma" to the affected muscles by applying direct, electrical nerve stimulation, in order to induce more muscle activity to speed up the natural healing process that comes with every full circulation of your bloodstream (which is accelerated by additional muscle activity).

Secondly, it encourages the brain to produce natural pain-killing chemicals such as dopamine.

There is an arguable drawback, although it carries no known dangers to the muscle tissue which is subjected to the T.E.N.S. treatment. There has not been any evidence or indication of damage to the brain or its ability to function. In fairness to the scientific requirements of true experimentation, there is so much about the brain, and the impact of external influences on brain function, that is simply not yet known, so it's really not perfectly accurate to state categorically that there are "no dangers to the brain vis-a-vis T.E.N.S. unit usage," only that there are no KNOWN dangers to the brain.

For all of the impressive leaps we have made in foundational understanding of cybernetics, and neuro-function, the truth is a simple and compelling one. The human brain is by far the most sophisticated device we have ever encountered, and true understanding of it may never occur.

Taking together, and weighing and weighting each factor accordingly, it's reasonable to aver that the benefits of the T.E.N.S. unit are strong, and worthwhile. TENS also desensitizes the brain to the pain signals, which provides not only benefit, as well a bit of liability. As someone who did use TENS successfully for more than three years, the writer can certainly support this particular concern: sensitivity reduction regarding pain is not necessarily a benefit, for two separate reasons:

1) Reduction of the pain signals specifically causes the brain to be less sensitive to the body's healing needs.

2) Reduction of the brain's sensitivity means less physical awareness of one or more surfaces of one or more body parts, simply meaning that, there are times when an injury such as laceration takes place and you are utterly unaware of it until you actually notice blood. This is not good. Pain is not pleasant to experience on a long-term basis, yet it is vitally important function because it is, in the most literal terms, the human body's alarm system. Pain indicates that attention is required by the specific area of the body which set off the alarm we call "pain."

__Pain pills: Pain-killing drugs are effective in killing pain. They work in the single most dangerous fashion imaginable: they numb the nerves and the human brain itself. Pain relief comes at the expense of both impaired awareness AND impeded healing. As the pain gets worse and as tolerance to the drug increases, more frequent... and, in the longer term, higher doses are required. Common side effects are reduced physical and mental performance, and, as we all know too well, higher probabilities of addiction, which in itself brings on a slew of additional challenges, and not only physical challenges.

4) Infuses the area of pain or injury with very low frequency (7.83 - 13.5 Hz) chaotic sound waves which literally break up the pain and open neural pathways to the brain for enhanced mind-body communication. This releases the body's vital resources for accelerated healing. It is safe enough to use at home without an attendant.

This natural pain relief device, a healthier alternative to conventional drugs, with its patented new Chaos Delivery System, is extraordinarily effective. While other devices have their uses, none offer the performance, convenience, and safety of the Natural pain relief device.

Completely natural and easy to use, the natural pain relief device relieves pain with massage action that invigorates the body and attunes the mind.

The result is a superior pain management system that works by specifically stimulating local circulation and activity, and the resulting nerve communication from the point of pain to the brain center responsible for "managing" that pain.

The pleasant sonic impulses of the natural pain relief device are experienced like bubbling water, and treatment is effective whether the transducer is applied directly to the skin, through clothing or casts, or even several inches away from the body. Most will experience a gentle relaxation, while others feel tingling or a pleasnat warmth. The natural pain relief device is classified by the FDA as a 510(k) Therapeutic Massager. Thousands of natural pain relief devices are in use in doctors offices and clinics throughout the U.S.A. Millions of treatments are provided every year.

The author of this article, in the process of building this website for Dr. Cohen, has personally observed the difference in how people enter Dr. Cohen's offices in clearly obvious pain, departing as little as as little as a half-hour later with a distinct difference in their comportment. Each and every single patient who has gone through this treatment in the two weeks I've been here building these sites reports definite relief, generally reported with what certainly appears to be heartfelt smiles.

Chronic pain has a nasty habit of interfering with all aspects of daily life, as the word "chronic" indicates, which means "persistent or without end." Sleepless nights lead to low energy, irritability, and inability to work. Pain management techniques that work wonders in actue situations often diminish in effectiveness within a few weeks. That's why your doctor utilizes the natural pain relief device, one of the most important healing technologies in the world today.

It is believed that only one treatment, one treatment(!) will engage a sufficient reduction of your pain that you'll be forever convinced of the value of the advanced technology used by the Infratron. We can only tell you about the pain relief it offers, naturopathic pain relief that requires no drugs, no surgery.

Of course you are the only one who can make the call on this
Since the device IS available throughout the country, there's no need for you to travel great distances. You can find someone closer to you, or you can inquire about purchasing a QGM Natural Pain Relief device. The only exhortation his page carries is an urgent encouragement for you to stop accepting pain as a daily part of life, something "to live with." In this day and age, with so many approaches available, it is incumbent upon you to be more proactive in your health decisions.
