When do most people realise the truly staggering strain our muscular-sceletal system in general and joints in particular sustain on daily basis? Right! When they got pains.
In the majority of cases joint pains - fortunately! - are not a big deal, just a nuisance, but then they can be a quite disturbing nuisance.
What to do about them?
As usual, prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is of vital importance for everybody to learn to use one's muscular-sceletal system economically. This means proper sitting and walking (as these are what people do most of the time). One of the reasons why this is neglected is that learning is done best at young age while joint pains usually come later on in life! 🙂
Yet, in some countries great deal of attention is paid in schools to acquiring proper posture and mobility habits and the statistics prove that this pays off: they have significantly lower rate of muscular-sceletal problems later in life.
Well-balanced exercise can never be over-emphasised! And here I do not necessarily mean iron-pumping which - more often than not - brings injuries, not even fun but injury prone sports like football. A simple gymnastic in the morning, or something more exotic like Tai Chi or yoga may be far more beneficial. Of course, care must be taken to practice with well qualified coach - if there will be a coach - or else with good deal of common sense and discretion.
Needless to say, proper bodily weight is a key factor for joints health.
What to do when the pains hit?
Well, apart from the above good advises that very few take, what to do when the pains hit?
First of all, this is always a good time to reconsider one's suspicious habits, but here we will focus on means for pain-relief and helping the body to restore itself.
Most medications do not work adequately well, because they rely on blood system and the latter does not reach the cartilage. The local ointments are better (well, some of them, of course). Good physiotherapists, chiropractors or acupuncturists can do great job, provided there is one around. And the really good ones are rare!
Relatively recently (say, for the last 30 years) it was established that low level laser light not only promotes prompt relief of the symptoms in cases of joints pains, but - if applied steadily during a long period (like 2 years and more) - it helps the body to regenerate the damaged cartilage!
Moreover, many of those studies were carried with rather primitive by today standards equipment.
coMra therapy and coMra Palm
Moreover, many of those studies were carried with rather primitive by today standards equipment.
The turbo-portable coMra Palm devise is ideal for treating fresh injuries, like from football, skying or just falling down the icy sidewalk.
It stands to reason - and it is well established by a number of practitioners - that when an injury is treated soon and by a sequence of treatments with 1,2 hours in between, it can heal amazingly fast!
Having a portable devise is also a benefit for traveling persons when they treat more chronic joints pains in long treatment courses.
Chronic Arthrosis
If the matters went worse already, healing will take more time, but the matters are still far from hopeless.
Here is the case of a man from Netherlands who persistently treated his arthrosis with coMra Therapy. If you look at the x-ray at the end of the report you will see something quite amazing: the cartilage got obviously better!
This same man carried small research project. He found 8 volunteers and gave them devices to treat their knees for 1,2 months. The feedback below speaks for itself.
'I am now a week abroad, except some swimming and walking I have little or no intensive movement here. But the last few weeks I felt no pain in my knee. My attention is not really on it so really sure I'm not. But at least no severe pain or sagging or so. So, I'm tempted to say it it is going a lot better. I hope the next few day to be more intensively involved in terms of movement, I can then evaluate again. I'll let you definitely know something.'
'Yes, after nearly three months it is easier to give an opinion.
I'm pretty positive. The last time I wrote that the complaints had decreased by 70%.
That it remains approximately. At night I had more trouble in recent weeks. Now I dress warmer (long johns daytime) and it goes again better.
In January, I was eligible for a knee operation but that is now unnecessary.
I'm glad I've participated.
I can recommend this to anyone.'
Conslusion
Finally, just after last Christmas my wife supplied a coMra Palm to a colleague of hers for ischialgia. This was somewhat urgent at the time, but after that she continued treating herself periodically. A week ago I met her and her eyes were shining, she thanked me at length and shared how well coMra Palm works for her. Although I know for a long time how well coMra Therapy works in cases like hers, it was nonetheless heart-warming to hear!
To start using coMra, first search your health issue in the coMra User Guide. If you can find it, start applying the relevant treatment protocol. If you do not find it, start with coMra Universal 3 and coMra Universal 5 protocols. If you have questions and need support by an expert, please contact us.
This article is written for men... sorry ladies... though the P.S. at the end may be helpful to you. 🙂
In our day to day lives there are so many seemingly insignificant little things that end up being pains in one way or another. Pains we simply have no easy, practical solutions for. So what do we do?
As men, we just put up with them and keep moving as best we can. However, a mentor once said to me, Garrett, it is not the big things in life you have to worry about because you will always find the resources to tackle those, looking after yourself and your family. Instead, it is all the seemingly small and insignificant things, like pebbles in your shoe, that end up causing so much grief, which inevitably impacts everyone around you too.
I asked myself, could I corroborate this with my own life experience? If yes, then why is this so? I found my own life experience proves this out, but before I go further please allow me to clarify my focus with respect to the seemingly insignificant little things I am referring to in this article.
I am referring specifically to everyday pains such as:
- burning your finger on the stove,
- smashing your thumb with a hammer,
- cutting your hand with a knife,
- eye fatigue from computer use,
- a sore back from golf,
- hip(s) ache from sitting too long,
- a turned ankle from a run,
- indigestion,
- flatulence,
- diarrhea,
- constipation,
- colds & flus,
- headaches,
- general aches and pains,
- and the list goes on.
Pretty much universal experiences for us all in our day to day lives.
So what impact do these pains have?
No doubt we could all make a long list of impacts , which could include things such as;
- pain,
- frustration,
- anger,
- worry,
- irritability,
- distraction,
- malaise,
- exhaustion,
- insomnia,
- nagging,
- arguments,
- cancelled appointments,
- lost time
- financial expenses,
- and the list goes on.
BUT
The overarching theme that emerges from all of these things
that I want to focus on, at least respecting my experience, is wishing I had a simple solution because all the conventional so called “solutions” just did not work for me. For instance, there would be no way I would go to the doctor for anything, and I did not want the hassle of any of, what I perceived as elaborate self care that my wife suggested.
Perhaps it is different for a woman than a man, I do not know, but as a man, I would just keep moving when these pains came up. Compensating for them and trying to manage everything going on in my life as best I could. I did this until they passed or for as long as I could until there was absolutely no choice but to deal with them. Like getting pain killers, or getting a prescription for some codeine cough syrup. I mean seriously what man wants the hassle or expense of looking after these little pains? So I just carried on.
Then in 2009 I started using coMra-Therapy.
It took a while to sink in, but the more of the above kind of day to day pains I successfully treated, the more a light bulb was slowly starting to turn on. Then one day it dawned on me! I am looking after my own health and the health of my family simply and practically without all the hassle, bother and expense of having to depend on some system, which is something I resist anyway. All at my own convenience.
So how does all of this relate to my experiential corroboration of my mentors words? Well, it was not until after some of time using coMra-Therapy and the experience I gained through that that I could compare to my life before it. That's when I realised I took a huge step forward in my life in terms of feeling self sufficient knowing, through first had experience, that I can and I am looking after my health and that of my family's. This is of course a very uplifting feeling compared to the frustration of having to put up with “one damn thing after another”.
So no more just putting up with such pains for my family and I
My before and after life experience has made all the difference.
P.S. Ladies, if you have a man who fits the above profile then you may just surreptitiously get him to give himself the care you want to see him give himself, simply and easily.
