Fortunately there are numerous treatment options available. Review your options so you can make an informed decision regarding your pain condition.

Medications / Pain Killers

Depending on the severity of your condition, over the counter pain medications ( aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) are typically the first approach. Some more severe conditions may require stronger medications (i.e. morphine, codeine). For more severe cases an injection with a local anesthetic or steroids may be needed near the pain source to numb the area.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS technology sends higher intensity electrical impulses to certain parts of the body to block pain signals. Due to the higher electrical impulse, there are no long term benefits other than numbing the pain area. Patients requiring more prolonged treatment can develop an acute sensitivity to TENS.

Surgery

Some patients face the prospect of corrective surgery depending on the nature and severity of their condition. You and your doctor may want to consider other options first.

CellStim Microcurrent

CellStim Microcurrent may be the right option if you:

• are trying to avoid the use of medications due to the potential risks of side effects
• have a sensitivity to higher electrical current and need a more long term solution
• are looking to take a more progressive approach to complimentary treatment.
