Innovative Approach to Pain Control

Because we understand how chronic pain can keep you from doing what you enjoy, we strive to develop treatment options without side effects. Our device helped many people reduce pain and speed recovery. Learn how we can help with:

  • Pain Management
  • Post Injury / Surgery Rehabilitation
  • Reduce Swelling
  • How to obtain a WellnessPro Device

WellnessPro assists the body to achieve homeostasis, which is its natural state of well being, by correcting electrical abnormalities in area of disease or injury.

However, in order to adequately explain how the WellnessPro works, it is appropriate to begin by considering certain fundamental aspects of living tissue.

The body is made up of a vast number of cells. In many ways, these cells act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy, doing their work of taking in nutrients, releasing waste products, repairing and reproducing themselves, etc. Each cell, like any battery, has a measurable electrical charge, which must be maintained in order to function properly.

Energy flows constantly between all cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body. When damage or trauma occurs to living tissue, there is a disruption in the electrical capacity of the involved cells and after an initial surge, there occurs, a measurable decrease in the production and flow of energy through the electrical network of the involved tissues. This condition is generally accompanied by pain in the area and often results in the body's inability to completely repair itself. Thus, lengthy rest periods and inactivity are often prescribed in order to attain eventual restoration of normal function. The WellnessPro treatments have been likened to putting a "jump start" on the dead battery of a car (Also known as The Gate Control Theory).

Studies have shown that the WellnessPro technology positively effects the production of ATP, sodium pump effect and Krebs cycle of the cell, thus enhancing the cell's ability to stimulate its regenerative, instead of a degenerative, phase.

In 1991, two research scientists, Dr. Erwin Neher and Dr. Bert Sackmann won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine by detecting electrical currents of a trillionth of an ampere in the membrane, or surface of a cell. These and many other findings substantiate the viability, accuracy and quality of the WellnessPro technology over any other devices currently on the market. Unlike the Wellness Pro, many other devices use outdated technologies producing tremendously inaccurate frequencies, with little to NO results for the patient.

The "Deep Pulse" technology microchips in the WellnessPro ensure that you are getting the best, most accurate delivery of frequency to the affected area possible.

Additional research findings have shown increased range of motion, a decreased healing time and progressive wound healing through the use of Bio electrotherapy

Clinically Proven Treatment
Pain is the body's way of warning you when something is wrong and is a signal to limit physical activity. However, when chronic pain interferes with your ability to work, be active or enjoy life, it's time to find a solution.

Depending on your diagnosis, some combination of surgical, pharmaceutical and other treatments may be prescribed. We expands those options with electrotherapy.

Our devices provide a non-invasive, drug-free solution for controlling pain. As a clinically proven option, electrotherapy may be prescribed along with, or instead of, other treatments to help control your pain.

Reduces Pain, Accelerates Recovery
Over one million patients have been treated with this type of devices to relieve chronic, arthritic and post-surgical pain. Benefits include:

  • Decreases pain
  • Improves function
  • Reduces need for pain medications
  • Return to work sooner

No Side Effects
Often, pain medication can be reduced, or even eliminated, when electrotherapy is incorporated into your treatment plan. It may improve pain or rehabilitate muscle tissue without the side effects typically associated with prescription drugs.

Regain Control of Pain
Our portable device make it possible for you to give yourself treatments once you leave the clinic. That way you get pain relief when you need it most— at home, at work, on the go, even while you sleep.

Targeted Pain Relief
Device therapy delivers an electrical pulse through the skin called Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Electrodes are placed directly on the affected area for pinpoint pain management control of the:

  • Back/Neck
  • Lower back
  • Knee
  • Shoulder
  • Wrist/Hand

Easy to Prescribe
Ask your healthcare professional about an WellnessPro device.

We help put you in control of your pain, so you can get back to daily activities sooner with less pain and better function.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive therapy indicated for the symptomatic relief from, and management of, chronic intractable pain and post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain.

For over 30 years, the medical community has used TENS as a safe and effective alternative to pharmacological approaches to pain control for many patients. TENS has minimal side effects and is non-addictive. Adverse reactions associated with electrotherapy may include skin irritation beneath the electrodes.

Advantages of Integrating TENS in Pain Management

  • Decreases pain, increases activity, and promotes return to work 1
  • Reduces the need for pain medication 2-4 and its concomitant side effects 2
  • Reduces the need for muscle relaxants, tranquilizers and steroids
  • Reduces the need for PT and OT services 2
  • Has no known side effects, no risk of overdosing, and no drug interference
  • Is cost effective, typically reimbursed, and easy to administer
  • Helps patients remain alert, functional, and productive
  • Puts patients in charge of their pain control

Mechanism of TENS

Pain messages transmitted by the peripheral nervous system to the brain are elecro-chemical in nature. Controlling or overriding these nociceptive impulses can bring about significant pain relief to patients.

With a TENS system, a portable stimulator generates a current which flows through leads to electrodes placed in specific locations on the patient’s skin. The low voltage current causes an electrical reaction in sensory and motor nerve fibers, overriding pain message transmission. The frequency and intensity of the stimulus are carefully controlled. TENS can also stimulate endorphin production. 5

Clinical Application

TENS is useful for:

  • Pain treatment and management for general and specialty medical practices
  • Patients whose pain therapy is limited by medication side effects
  • Patients requiring frequent and costly PT and OT services
  • A low risk, first line treatment option
