Rapid Relief ™ Electronic Pain Relief Pad
Brings Convenient, Portable TENS Treatment to Drug Stores
Over-the-Counter, Wireless TENS Device Stops Pain Without
a Prescription; Now Available in Drug Store Pain Relief Aisles Nationwide
Do sore muscles slow you down or, worse, stop you in your
tracks? Are you frustrated by not being able to do the things you
love? Don't be a prisoner to your pain! HoMedics,
innovative leader in self-care, wellness and personal health products, has
introduced the Rapid Relief
Electronic Pain Relief Pad — a wireless Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device that helps block the nerve pathway
from transmitting pain signals from sore and aching muscles.
Rapid Relief is an over-the-counter, wireless TENS device now
available in the pain relief aisle at Walgreens and CVS stores nationwide
(coming to Walmart in September). Rapid Relief is available online
at Amazon.com and RapidReliefPad.com.
Offering the latest in 21st Century pain relief, Rapid Relief
uses clinically-proven technology to deliver targeted, effective and safe pain
relief for the lower back, arms and/or legs. Rapid Relief works
by emitting controlled micro-electronic currents, called impulses, through the
skin to block the nerves from transmitting pain signals to the body’s pain
center providing fast, effective relief for aches and pains.
“For years, doctors, physical therapists and athletes have been
using TENS devices to treat pain,” said Brian Elsemore, PT, MS, who has
practiced as a registered physical therapist for a decade in Florida and New
England. “Rapid Relief stops the pain at the source, so pain
sufferers can live their life. It’s as simple to use as ‘apply where
it hurts,’ with no drugs, no shots, no wires, and no worries about messy
applications.”
Rapid
Relief Electronic Pain Pad is available in two models: one specifically
calibrated to deliver quick relief to the lower back and another to deliver
relief to the arms and/or legs with each offering 15 levels of adjustable intensity. Each
Rapid Relief Electronic Pain Pad includes one device, one CR2032 lithium
battery, one set of self-adhesive Gels good for up to 50 treatments, and a
travel storage case with instructions to optimize usage. The Rapid
Relief Electronic Pain Pad retails for $29.99. Two sets of
replacement Rapid Relief Gels, sold separately, cost $9.99.
The
replaceable battery and Rapid Relief Gels are good for up to 50 (20-minute)
treatments, making Rapid Relief one of the lowest cost-per-use options in the pain
relief aisle and a valuable addition to an individual’s pain treatment regimen.
TENS products have previously been sold behind the pharmacists’
counter or in medical supply stores, often requiring a doctor’s prescription.
Prior to the introduction of Rapid Relief Electronic Pain Pad, traditional TENS
products could be challenging to use due to large control units and unwieldy
wires.
“Rapid Relief is incredibly easy to use and compact enough for
pain sufferers to wear under their clothing, discreetly treating pain
on-the-go, whenever it is needed,” said Elsemore. “I have used it personally and
recommend it to my patients, family and friends as a safe and effective new
addition to their pain treatment regimen.”

OUR THOUGHTS
My mother in law has a prescription TENS unit, which my husband occasionally uses for various muscle pains. It's a fairly large unit that is most easily used at home, just due to its size. Right now he's dealing with a sore lower back due to one of his sacroiliac joints, which is causing a lot of muscle tension. And with a 70 mile group bike ride coming up, he needs that pain gone!
The Rapid Relief Electronic Pain Pad is a nice little portable unit that you can just stick right on the skin and the whole slim little unit stays in place - no wires, no gel to mess around with. You could, of course, just sit and let the Rapid Relief Electronic Pain Pad do it's thing, but with it's easy portability, you are free to move around as you like and not be tied to a free-standing unit. And it's such a slim little unit, it is discreet under clothing.
My husband has been enjoying using the Rapid Relief Electronic Pain pad for the relief it gives, the slim little carrying case, and the replaceable gel pads. He said the only difficult part was once applied to the lower back, you have to remember which side has the + and which has the - to adjust the levels, because you can't see them back there. ;-)
The gel pads are good for up to 50 - 20 minute sessions. You can get a set of two replacement pads for $9.99. Easy and cheap pain relief!
