STERLING, Ill., Sept. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pain is an unwelcome companion
for millions of individuals, and it manifests in various forms and
stems from numerous causes. What may provide relief to one person
might not be effective for another. In recognition of September
being National Pain Awareness Month, at-home massager manufacturer
Wahl partnered with board-certified anesthesiologist and pain
specialist Dr. Anita Gupta to
provide tips on how individuals can lead a more pain-free life.
"There are easy, achievable solutions for those living with
pain, including many non-medication options," explains Dr. Gupta.
"I have patients who are looking for alternative treatments to
avoid over-dependence on medicines like ibuprofen or aspirin,
especially if they've experienced adverse outcomes related to
NSAIDs." For example, she offers the following natural pain-relief
tips for three common ailments:
- Headaches: For those experiencing headaches, a
simple yet effective remedy is resting your eyes and applying
gentle pressure with a cool, wet washcloth. This soothing technique
of using a cold compress decreases inflammation and constricts
blood vessels, both of which can help alleviate the discomfort
associated with headaches and provide immediate relief.
- Chronic Muscle Pain: For individuals dealing with
chronic muscle pain, a hand-held massager, like the Wahl Deep
Tissue Percussion Massager, is an excellent choice for convenient
at-home relief. This powerful massager offers a range of features
designed for customized pain-relief, including the following:
-
- Whether you require high-penetration massage or a gentle,
soothing touch, the massager's variable intensity control setting
caters to your specific needs.
- The unique long ergonomic handle is designed to effortlessly
reach sore back muscles and other hard-to-reach areas.
- With its cordless operation, you have the freedom to use the
massager anywhere you need it, without being tethered to an
outlet.
- Acute Injury Pain: Injuries are a part of life, so
for those grappling with acute pain, a simple and effective acronym
to remember is R.I.C.E. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and
Elevation. Resting an injury will keep it from getting worse, while
ice, compression, and elevation will help alleviate swelling. It's
a combination that will aid in quicker healing as well as pain
relief.
It is Wahl's hope that individuals suffering from pain will join
them in observing National Pain Awareness Month and take proactive
steps towards a more pain-free and enjoyable life. To explore
