Microcurrent Therapy Painmaster Products offers the Painmaster microcurrent therapy (MCT) Patch, which uses undetectable amounts of electrical current to speed the healing of muscle soreness and injuries. Placed on either side of a painful area, the Painmaster MCT Patch emits electrical charges that counteract the natural charges that cluster at the site of an injury. The currents are tuned to the normal electrical exchanges taking place at the body’s cellular level to stimulate the tissue and enhance circulation. The Painmaster MCT Patch can be used to treat low back pain, knee and joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasms, and sports-related injuries. The patch is available by prescription.

Posture Pillow The SleepPostureTM pillow by Sleep Posture helps train patients to sleep with a better posture for better health. The pillow’s unique shape prevents patients from sleeping on their backs, which can cause low back pain and lack of support for the curve in the spine. It also prevents patients from sleeping on their stomachs, which may put strain on the neck, jaw, and back. The pillow allows patients to sleep on their sides and gives the support needed for the neck, head, and upper and lower back. The ear well (hole) is designed to elevate the chin approximately 1 inch, encouraging the airway passage to open and increasing airflow. The ear well and chin tilt increase the natural curve in the neck, and they are essential for good sleep posture.
