Discover Neuroglide for Pain Relief

There are at least three well-studied neurophysiological mechanisms that contribute to Neuroglide’s effectiveness in relieving and managing pain.

‍1. Neuroglide therapy uses gentle touch that inhibits pain.
When you cut or bang your finger, a natural response is grab and hold the injured area, because the pressure helps to dull the pain. This effect is known as “analgesic touch”—how sensory pressure signals inhibit the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

The persisting, gentle pressures that Neuroglide applies below the skin provide a steady stream of pain-inhibiting touch signals that help to alleviate pain throughout the body.

‍2. Neuroglide therapy reduces stress-related pain.
Stress can cause pain, tightness or soreness in your muscles, as well as spasms of pain. Stress can also lower your threshold of pain, leading to flare-ups of symptoms of arthritis, fibromyalgia and other conditions.

Neuroglide therapy triggers your body’s relaxation response, which helps to reduce pains that are aggravated by stress.

‍3. Neuroglide therapy reduces inflammation-related pain.
‍Inflammation is vital to your immune response to injury and infection, but persisting inflammation can aggravate pain.

Neuroglide therapy improves circulation in the lymphatics and dermal tissues that clears away chemicals and hormones contributing to inflammation, which can reduce inflammation-related pain.

The Neuroglide Back/Neck Pad exploits several different physiological mechanisms for relieving pain.

Some of those mechanisms help to relieve pain in regions of the body that are in close contact with the pad as it applies pressure against the skin. This includes pain in the hips, lower back, upper back, shoulders, and neck.

Other mechanisms work by inducing a full-body neurological response that inhibits pain throughout the body. Thus, you can expect to feel reduction in pain even in areas of the body not in direct contact with the pad—joint pain, arthritis, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, etc.

Any pain relief you experience will typically result from multiple mechanisms operating together. Pain relief in the lower back, for example, may arise from a combination of local effects of Neuroglide's gentle pressures against your lower back, and full-body pain relief resulting from sensory pressure signals inhibiting the transmission of pain signals from the spinal cord to the brain.

The Neuroglide Back/Neck Pad should not be used to treat pain resulting from a condition that requires a physician's care (acute infections, open wounds, lesions, tumors, bone fractures, spinal cord injury, etc.) or that is related to an underlying cardiovascular condition (heart problems, vascular problems, acute edema or thrombosis, etc.)
