O2 Media's Hit Show The Balancing Act is Bringing in a Healthy New Year with Empi, Inc!

Pain, Pain, Go Away-- Don’t Come Back Another Day...

There’s nothing worse than having aches in pains, and having to endure them during the active holiday season. To help take your aches and pains away The Balancing Act has invited Empi, Inc.  Watch them as they air Monday, January 11th at 7:30am (ET/PT) on the Lifetime Network.  If you’re looking to make some positive life changes, and assist in your health and well-being—you won’t want to miss this show.

 

Joining Balancing Act host Kristy Villa, is Melisa K. Estes, MD.  Melisa joins the show to talk about a non-narcotic exciting pain treatment option from Empi.

 

 Melisa says, “The key to relieving back pain is to directly interact with the nerves sending those pain signals to the brain.  There’s a great device for back pain relief, which is the EMPI ACTIVE TENS device. TENS stands for (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). This device delivers localized electrical stimulation to increase blood flow as well as stimulate nerves. The signals from the stimulated nerves interfere with pain signals traveling to the brain, reducing the brain's perception of pain. I find that not only does it assist the patient in managing their symptoms it gives them a sense of control in managing their own pain.”

 

Melisa adds, “I find that the device can be helpful in decreasing the amount of pain medications that a patient may take. In addition, I find it especially useful for patients who have difficulty tolerating medications such as muscle relaxants or non steroidal anti-inflammatories.”

 

The device is small and lightweight and can be worn comfortably under clothes, and also allows the user to go about their daily activities while treating their pain.
