In the past year, half (48%) of Americans surveyed report having suffered from minor muscle strains or sprains on body parts other than their back, while 34% say they have suffered from acute back pain.
A survey from the American Pain Foundation indicates that 68 percent of people who have experienced acute back pain or other minor muscle strains and sprains in the past year feel that the recession has caused, increased or affected their pain. (Source.)
Although chronic pain conditions are generally less life-threatening, the impact on lifestyle, day-to-day functional performance, family and interpersonal relationships, and financial well-being can be tremendous.
It is now evident that “Chronic pain is a major health problem inflicting tremendous personal suffering for patients, leading to depression, withdrawal from social activities, inability to cope, progressive disability and increasing isolation” (Murphy, 2007). Anyone who wants to control and treat pain should use Arctic Ease products this also includes the 47 million people in America who currently have arthritis and the 27 million who are not treating their arthritis symptoms.
As more and more people are determined to get in shape they are also going to find that the aches and pains associated with more activity can slow them down at a time when we don’t have time to slow down.
Using Arctic Ease before, during and after exercise can help minimize the pain and discomfort of getting back into shape. Remember that since Arctic Ease products are odor free you can use them for hours of continuous pain relief.
Many cancer survivors, having overcome cancer, find themselves with sudden and often unexplained swelling, usually in the arms or legs. This swelling occurs because of one of many factors:
- The inflammation and swelling begins after lymph nodes have been removed for cancer biopsies.
- The inflammation and swelling may start as a result of radiation damage to either the lymph nodes and/or the lymph system.
There are several groups of people who experience leg or arm inflammation and swelling (edema) from known causes due to either the removal of lymph nodes or damage to the lymph system. With cancer patients this is the result of either removal of the lymph nodes for cancer biopsy, radiation damage to the lymph system, or damage from tumor/cancer surgeries. In addition, there is a subset of people with unknown causes where the swelling can actually get worse as time goes by.
The Arctic Ease wraps are a two-in-one solution, allowing for cryotherapy and for compression allowing for cryotherapy and for compression. Compression is believed to facilitate the lymphatic system in removing edema [inflammation] whether from arthritis, Lymphedema/Lepedema (secondary lymphedema), overuse injuries and strains, muscle pains and sprains, along with repetitive motion injuries, minor burns and bruises.
