Does it actually HEAL muscle & nerve pain OR does it just temporarily relieve the pain?

My understanding is that it helps to heal muscle faster and brings increaced blow flow to the Area. Not sure as to nerves. Has worked well for myself and my wife. Hers tennis elbow, mine open open wound on finger that wouldnt heal for months almost fully heal after month with medi light. Worth noting medical condition for me that restricted blood flow to hands and feet. Hope this helps. Btw there many studies online that may help.

The pain relief is temporary, usually a few hours. I generally use it before bed when I have some aches to help me get to sleep.

It will not cure your tendonitis. It will relieve the pain from it. My tendonitis was helped with cortisone shots and physical therapy. It is the localized pain and tingling from nerve pain that is helped. Best wishes.

To be honest I am not a Doctore to diagnoise anything. This helps speed up muscle recovery and soreness but I am not sure if that helps with chronic pain. Probably depends on what is causing that pain. If you want to order it and try it out then go ahead. If he doesnt like it I can issue a refund.

Yes it does. We are very pleased with the purchase as it is primarily used on someone with peripheral neuropathy, however it is great for sore foot relief as well.

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

When first applied it feels cool. After a few minutes there is a warming sensation. I would not recommend applying heat after application. This product has helped me relieve muscle aches and pains as well as soreness. Stress knots, rotator cuff soreness and Plantar fasciitis.

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.

So the tens just does nerve endings and the EMS is designed to stimulate muscle - I don't know if this device is SUPPOSED to work as an EMS but it does on me, andI actually use it mostly for the function.

We use it to numb injection site prior to administering the injection. In our practice we inject the joint, so the injection could hurt more than an intramuscular shot. I don't understand exactly what you are asking. Your question is unclear. It is not the treatment in itself. It is used in conjunction with treatment, at least where I work.

It works by itself. Directions suggest you do some contractions at the end of the session, after device is removed. As my muscles have strengthened, I do tense some with the Apex for better (faster) results.

I have not found any relief from my pain. Maybe my pain has been with me too long. I had been in pain for 12 years. Nerve was compressed in my neck going down my arm. Stupid doctors couldn't find out what was wrong. I still take it though hoping it will start to work. I have been taking for about 2 weeks.

It doesn't necessarily target your lower back, but it does stretch out your hamstrings effectively, which relieves lower back pain. I find it very helpful.

I use it for lower back and pretty much anytime my back hurts and I am home with time to spare (bare back is best). A few minutes is all you really need but it feels best while you stay on it. I have noticed it works really well after I am achy from a workout and when blood is still flowing. Make sure you adjust your position slightly every 15-30 seconds, this moves the spikes to new positions on the skin and feels great! The relief will only last between 10-30 minutes after you stop though. I have never tested this but I believe if you use it often and regularly you will experience long term relief. This is based on depletion of Substance P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P).

I haven't use it for joint and muscle pain. I purchased the product for hair loss, great product for that matter!

It's a topical oil. I am still experimenting with it. These oils are known to be healing agents. I gave it to a friend to try on a hip and it helped with pain. Acts on the nerves it seems according to the product insert.
