Panitrol - How Effective Is It?

This principle is behind the use of TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units. These devices stimulate nerves that compete with pain nerves. As a result, fewer pain messages get through and we feel less pain. The bottom line is that you can use ice and/or heat to do the same thing. That is why I sometimes have a patient say to me that they prefer ice on chronic muscle stiffness-for them it blocks more of the pain signals than heat does, so they get better relief from it. So, in the end, you can use hot packs and/or cold packs for chronic aches and pains, depending on your preference. I prefer hot packs because it promotes blood flow as I discussed above.<br><br>https://supplementdiary.com/cerisea-medica-review/<br><br>https://supplementdiary.com/barbarian-xl-review/<br><br>https://supplementdiary.com/keto-genesis-review/<br><br>https://supplementdiary.com/cardio-clear-7-review/

  1. Panitrol - How Effective Is It? The injury is no longer in an acute stage, but there may be low grade inflammation occurring never- the-less. The difference is that such inflammation is not going to be helped by ice applied to the skin. The structures that are inflamed are to deep to be affected by an ice pack applied to the skin surface. Applying heat to sore and tight muscles increases blood flow to the area. With increased blood flow also comes more oxygen. The nutrients in the blood and the oxygen help the healing process of injured muscles. More blood flow in also means more blood flow out. And with the increased outflow of blood, toxins like lactic acid and other chemicals which cause chronic muscle soreness and stiffness are removed. This is why after applying heat to a sore neck it often feels better. There's another thing about applying heat and/or cold. When you have an injury and pain, you feel the pain only if it registers in your brain. If you had ankle pain right now and the pain nerve from the ankle was cut, the pain would disappear. To feel pain the pain nerve has to transmit its signal to the spinal cord where another group of nerves carries it to the brain. The interesting thing is that there is competition for use of the circuits transmitting information up the spinal cord to the brain. After all, when you have pain you don't stop feeling other sensations from the area of pain. You would still feel someone's touch, or hot or cold, or even movement of the area. This reality of competition for transmission of sensory input to the brain at the spinal cord level can be used to our advantage. Let's go back to the example of the injured painful ankle. Applying a cold pack reduces pain first by helping to control the inflammation. But second it does so by competing with the pain signal that are trying to reach the brain. Because of the high demand for the circuits to the brain (cold sensation competing with pain sensation) some of the pain signals don't get transmitted. The result is less pain (in our experience). Nothing else has changed, just the fact that fewer pain signals are reaching the brain, so we feel less pain. https://supplementdiary.com/cerisea-medica-review/ https://supplementdiary.com/barbarian-xl-review/ https://supplementdiary.com/keto-genesis-review/ https://supplementdiary.com/cardio-clear-7-review/
