Massage Therapy Can Be Expensive & Time Consuming

Nowadays, massage therapy to relieve pain has become very popular which is not surprising. Lying down on a massage table while a professional masseuse massages your entire body is totally relaxing and rejuvenates both mind and body.

Massage provides both physical and emotional benefits so muscle pain can be relieved if not eliminated if you go for massage sessions on a regular basis. Unfortunately, most people cannot get massage sessions on a regular basis due to time and money constraints. Muscle pain sufferers need a pain relieving solution that can be used at home or the office that will provide the same benefits as massage therapy.

Pain Medication May Not Be The Answer

For occasional muscle pain, taking over the counter pain medication will relieve pain with little or no side effects. However, if you have persistent long-term muscle pain that doesn’t really go away, painkillers may not be the answer. The disadvantage of pain medicine is that it affects the whole body, not just the part that needs the medication. Also, taking painkillers on a long-term basis can be addictive and your body will become immune to it.

Use The TDP Mineral Lamp To Relieve Muscle Pain

The TDP lamp (Teding Diancibu Pu) is a far infrared heating lamp that can assist the natural healing processes of the human body. The lamp head of a TDP lamp contains a mineral plate consisting of 33 minerals, which correspond to the minerals in the human body. Infrared heat combined with the 33 minerals will penetrate into the sore muscle area to assist the healing process.

Safe and Easy To Use at Home

Far infrared heat emitting from the lamp head is completely safe and can provide relief for muscle pain and arthritis. You can use the TDP lamp at home or the office with a choice of an analog or digital floor lamp or a desktop analog lamp. In addition to relieving muscle pain, TDP lamps will keep you warm during the cold winter months.

Sciatica nerve pain is a serious medical condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. One of the primary causes is disc herniation or a bulging of the lower lumbar disc, this in turn compresses one of the nerve roots that connect with the sciatic nerve. Nerve pain can sometimes center around the area that is being traumatized or in cases of very severe pain, can radiate all through the low back, the thigh and travel down the leg to the foot and the sole of the foot.

Sciatica nerve problems sometimes go away in the same way that they appeared, on their own. However, in the majority of cases the pain needs to be treated and cured. You may have the pain for a few weeks and suddenly find that the intervals at which it reappears are gradually becoming further apart. Others who are not so lucky may opt for alternative medicine approaches like acupuncture, acupressure or massage therapy.

Sciatica nerve cures can be divided into 3 broad categories: medical, alternative medicine and individual treatments. The causes for the pain are different from one individual to the next, so also will the treatment differ for each patient.

• Medical treatment involves a doctor who will conduct tests to identify the specific area where the sciatic nerve is being compressed or pinched or stressed. After assessing the situation, oral medication or epidural injections may be prescribed to control the pain and give the person relief. In cases where the pain is very severe, surgery may be recommended.
• Individual treatments center around getting the right kind of exercise that will strengthen the muscular core, improve posture and relieve weight pressing on the spinal cord.
• Alternative medicine involves acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic care, and massage therapy.
