We are taking the following precautionary measures in our office to ensure our office is an oasis of health: We are open our normal business hours Chiropractic tables are cleaned between each patient Patient appointments are spread out to minimize patient wait time Patients are encouraged to come into the office during their scheduled time to minimize wait time Surfaces in the office that are commonly touched areas are cleaned multiple times per hour door handles, chairs, sink knobs, etc Patients that are sick are requested to stay home Patients who are well are encouraged to make their appointments BioFreeze is an analgesic that relieves pain through a menthol-induced cooling process.
Unlike medications and surgical procedures, it relieves pain naturally for conditions such as overworked muscles, chronic back pain, or arthritis. BioFreeze penetrates the skin quickly and targets the joints to ease the pain through cold therapy. In fact, some chiropractors use BioFreeze as a supplement to standard chiropractic treatment. Together, both approaches can help patients experience pain-relief in the areas where they hurt the most. The gate in the spinal cord differentiates between the types of fibers carrying pain signals.
For instance, a small fiber may only carry a small amount of pain. Thus, the spinal cord allows it to pass and be felt. The gate may block a large signal of pain traveling through a larger fiber. The spinal cord may block the signal before it reaches the brain. The Biofreeze treatment lasted longer in nine out of 10 patients, with twice as much pain reduction compared to ice. Robert Topp, PhD, RN, from the University of Louisville, compared the effects of Biofreeze topical analgesic and ice on blood flow, pain, and muscle performance of the upper extremities in healthy individuals.
His study found a decrease in blood flow in the radial artery five minutes after applying Biofreeze to the forearm. At 20 minutes following the application of these treatments, the study showed that Biofreeze provided significantly greater muscle function compared to the application of ice.
While Biofreeze reduced blood flow much more quickly than ice, the reduction lasted longer with the ice. This quick reduction may offer a great benefit in the very acute stages of injury, but we need more research. Page: Many studies have been conducted and can be viewed on the Biofreeze portal of the Thera-Band Academy website.
You can find the research abstracts for both studies on the academy site. It serves as a single, comprehensive resource for consumers, patients, and healthcare professionals interested in Thera-Band and Biofreeze products. What is Biofreeze Pain Reliever and what are its benefits? How effective are analgesics like Biofreeze? Researchers compared the effectiveness of Biofreeze with that of a placebo gel in reducing chronic pain of carpal tunnel syndrome. The results? In addition, the reduction in pain lasted at least 3 hours, with participants reporting that the pain-reducing effects lasted even beyond the cooling effect on the skin.
Biofreeze is effective at reducing not just pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome but also aches and pains in general. It delivers relief from:.
