Set a Deep tissue massage session and this treatment is included.

Traditional acutherapy and trigger point needling have been scientifically proven to release natural pain relievers. The TENS Pro has been designed to evoke the very same beneficial response, "tapping" into our body's own internal pain relieving system.
The TENS Pro also has a feature, which allows the user to either increase or decrease circulation to the area of injury through a polarity reversal. Decreasing circulation settings similar to ice therapy, and is most beneficial for pain control and reduction of swelling. Increasing circulation setting is similar to heat therapy and is most beneficial for immune enhancement and neural regeneration. Helping to reduce or increase the blood flow to the area greatly contributes to the natural healing process.

What is a Migraine?

Massage is excellent for tension and migraine headaches, without some of the annoying side effects of other treatments. Pain melts away, replaced by a feeling of relaxed calm, without the use of drugs or stimulants. It's the natural relief for unnatural pain!

Over 28 million Americans, 75 percent of whom are women, suffer through migraine headaches. It has been determined that 1 in 4 households in the United States have someone who is a migraine sufferer, yet it is not considered by many employers and insurance companies to be a legitimate medical problem.

Migraine headache episodes are usually divided into four components: prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome. During the prodromal stage, the sufferer may experience mood changes, stiff neck, food cravings, and excessive tiredness. The onset can be from hours to a couple of days before the actual migraine begins. Next is aura, which is thought to be related to a spreading decrease in neuronal activity with a decrease in blood flow across the cerebral hemisphere. These usually last for a couple of hours before the onset of the actual headache itself.

Next is the familiar headache, which can either be unilateral and throbbing, but may become bilateral and generalized. Nausea and vomiting are common, as well as extreme sensitivity to light. Some people are bothered by smells and sound, as well. The headache itself can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours, although it has been known to continue for a longer period of time. After the headache, during the postdrome phase, most sufferers complain of lowered mood and intellect, irritability, and impaired concentration, accompanied by extreme feelings of exhaustion.

While it was thought that migraine was caused by restricted blood flow to the brain, new research has found a genetic link between familial migraine sufferers. While there are medications that can be used to help control migraine, there are some lifestyle changes that could be beneficial, as well.

How often should I come in?

It depends on your particular condition. Many people come in once a week while others comes in every two weeks or monthly. It really depends on what issue or issues you are trying to correct. Also, you may get the best results if you come in more regularly at first (weekly) and then decrease after a few weeks (monthly) to maintain the improvements you have obtained. For some that have no major problems but just want stress relief or relaxation, it is probably more of a relaxing decision than a health issue. The great thing is you get to decide.

What is Deep Tissue?

Deep Tissue releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

What is Sciatica?

"Sciatica is a common condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the base of the spine and serves the buttocks, rear of the legs and the feet.

Symptoms of sciatica are variable. The sciatica pain can be constant or intermittent, sudden or progressive. Sciatica pain is usually felt radiating down the back of the thigh, and may be in one or both legs. The pain may be felt as stabbing, sharp, burning or "electrical" in nature. The sharp, stabbing type of sciatica pain tends to start suddenly, peaks and then gradually fades. The burning sensation may be felt in the lower back, buttock, legs and/or feet. The electrical pain often focuses at the specific point where the sciatic nerve has been pinched, sometimes then continuing along the sciatic nerve's path. This electrical pain may commence suddenly and recur in cycles. Tingling and numbness are further signs of nerve irritation.

Because lower back muscles may be overworked in sciatica, there is often muscular aching associated with the condition. Sciatica pain may be worsened by coughing, sneezing or bending forward." from Nutri-Pharm © Copyright Nutri-Pharm (Aust) Pty Ltd ABN 37 091 353 794.
