BrownCastle Announces New Type of TENS Unit that Modernizes the Way We Treat Pain
PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2017 / With Chronic Pain being the number one cause of long-term disability in the U.S, many Americans turn to the use of prescription drugs to help them get through the day. But as the opioid epidemic becomes more prevalent, one doctor is working to provide a better alternative with a new type of TENS Unit (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation). While TENS Units have been used since the 1970s, this modern model is FDA approved for over-the-counter use and an innovation on large bulky units used in doctors' offices.
Dr. Steven Michael Brown created the Shield Class IV Massager to combat the use of addictive pain management medications with dangerous side effects. ''So many individuals rely on pain medication every day. In today's fast paced environment, we choose what is easiest to get us through,'' explains Brown. ''I want to provide a healthy alternative for those suffering from pain that is just as easy to use.'' Because TENS units use a specific electrical current to contract and relax muscles, your body's natural healing goes to work; releasing endorphins and improving circulation to help relieve the pain.
''We thought about the convenience and portability of smart phones and how that type of technology could be used for those suffering from pain,'' said Brown. As a result, BrownCastle created a personal size device that uses an LCD touch screen to administer 24 different massage patterns. ''With multiple selections, anyone can find a type of stimulation they like, and by making the latest model a combination TENS-EMS unit, it can help with most types of pain.''
A recent government survey found that nearly 50% of Americans take at least one prescription medication for pain, while only 23% of patients with chronic pain feel that opioids are actually effective. This over abundance of prescription drug availability has led to an increase in unintentional drug overdoses, as well as an increase in heroin use as a result of addiction to opioids.
''Medical treatments and medications can be very costly, especially if you suffer from chronic pain,'' said Brown. ''This personal unit saves on those costs and reduces the amount of prescription opioids being used.''
In order to reach his (Dr. Brown) goal of combating prescription abuse, BrownCastle has made this new unit available to the public on Amazon and it already has a 5-star consumer rating. The unit is covered by a Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty.
