Car Accident Related Injuries: Pain Relief is On the Way!

Few things in life can wreak havoc on our bodies like a car accident.  It is estimated that anywhere from 2-3 million injuries occur every year from car crashes. For those who are lucky enough to walk away from a car accident, often there is a long road of recovery ahead.

The most common car accident related injuries are: whiplash, back strain, sprained or broken arm and/or leg, and hip injuries. The severity of your injuries will determine your course of treatment.

When discussing your treatment options with your physician consider asking them about using a tens unit. A tens unit such as the Rebound® health tens device can help provide a paid relief for many situations. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) provides pain relief in two ways: First, it interrupts the pain receptors and their nerve pathways to the brain; no signal to the brain means no pain. Second, it stimulates your body's production of endorphins which can provide long-lasting drug free pain relief.

Rebound - Pain Relief after Surgery

Pain control is the number one priority after surgery of any kind. Since all surgery is deemed "traumatic" some discomfort is to be expected on your path to healing.

However advancements in medicine and technology have helped us significantly reduce pain and even shorten recovery time after an operation.

Traditionally pharmaceuticals and physical therapy have been the prescribed method for rehabilitation. However, as our understanding of alternative methods increases, doctors are now finding it helpful to use a combination of both traditional and nontraditional methods to help patients get back on their feet.

Studies have shown an effective complementary method used for pain relief is the use of a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, or tens unit for short. Tens units, like the Rebound® health tens device, offer pain relief without a prescription. The tens unit in its electrical impulses blocking pain receptors as well as stimulating production of your body's natural painkillers called endorphins. Using the Rebound® in conjunction with your physician’s treatment plan could help you manage your pain without the use of drugs.

Ankle Injuries: Causes and Treatment

Did you know it’s estimated that over 25,000 people sprain their ankle every day?  More than half of those injuries are sports related. Many of the other injuries most likely occur while either walking on unstable surfaces or loss of balance.  Without proper rehabilitation, some pain related to ankle injuries may never truly go away.

The ankle joint consists of several bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels that allow for this dynamic structure to give us balance, stability, and most importantly, movement.  Anyone who has sprained their ankle understands very quickly how debilitating loss of function in this joint can be.

The largest numbers of injuries tend to occur in people men between 15 to 24 and women over 30.  There are three general types of ankle injuries: sprains, strains, and fractures. Each type of injury is determined by what structure is damaged. Sprains indicate damage to ligaments. Strains specify damage to muscle and/or tendons. Fractures obviously indicate damage to bone.

The time required for rehabilitation such injuries will vary depending on the severity of the injury sustained.  Mild injuries generally take 2 to 4 weeks before full function is regained. Moderate injuries can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Severe injuries that fracture a bone or severe a tendon can require 12 weeks to six months; even then full function may never be regained.

Treatment during rehabilitation stage can include but not limited to: rest, ice, compression, elevation (R.I.C.E.); Physical Therapy; Prescription or over the counter anti-inflammatory medications. Drug-free pain relief can also be used during this phase by using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (tens) such as the Rebound® Health tens device.  

Tens unit therapy offers pain relief in two ways: first, electrical stimulations interrupt the pain receptors in the area of your body telling your brain you are in pain. Second, they stimulate your body’s natural painkillers called endorphins. Tens unit therapy, along with rest and appropriate rehabilitation exercises, can help to potentially reduce recovery time. Be sure to discuss your treatment plan with your doctor.

Rebound Pain Relief - Helping with ACL and PCL Sports Injuries

There are two major ligaments that provide stability in the knee, they are known as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Any injury to either of these ligaments without proper treatment and rehabilitation can lead to chronic pain and even long-term disability.

You're probably familiar with the ACL because this ligament is the one most often associated with sports injuries. The most common cause of injury to the ACL is due to a planting and turning movement or a blow to the knee from behind by another player while the foot is planted. The most common sports where ACL injuries occur are: football, basketball, soccer, and skiing.

PCL injuries generally happen when the foot is planted and a blow to the knee from the front occurs. However it can also occur from sudden twisting motion in the opposite direction of an ACL injury. PCL injuries also occur in football, basketball, soccer and skiing. However they are more often found in football and soccer.

Treatment for an ACL or PCL injury depends on the severity. Initial treatment for an injury of this kind is referred to as the "R.I.C.E” treatment: this stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. If either the ACL or PCL is torn often surgery followed by rigorous physical therapy and anti-inflammatories is the prescription of choice. 

As part of their rehabilitative process, along with strength training, athletes will often use a tens unit such as the Rebound® to fight pain and allow for freedom of movement.  Tens-transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation can interrupt pain signals to the brain and stimulate endorphins for drug-free pain relief.

Range of motion is often restricted with knee injuries due to swelling and pain impeding a patient's ability to move their leg as it heals.  A TENS unit can bring relief to those areas and allow the patient to move freely bringing much-needed strength and support to the knee potentially improving the healing process.
